Numerous guys are being listed with offers for 2018 . Looking forward to see who we can get in for a visit . Debate better to go after more of the 2018 HS recruits or transfers still out there for 2018 . ?

Debate better to go after more of the 2018 HS recruits or transfers still out there for 2018 . ? What's the debate? Get the best player in the door. We have lots of open spots. Obviously HS players can play longer but transfers are nice too if they can ball

4* Dejon Jarreau 6'5 SG and 3* Brison Gresham 6'8 Forward are still out there. Dutch said he is holding one more for the possibility of a late transfer. No names have been discussed.

The Utes seem like a good option for this kid if he's looking to move up a level or two. They could use a decent combo guard to go with Bibbins & Barefield and have roster space. New Mexico? He's definitely not a good fit with us given our depth at G. Doubt he wants to be someone who plays 10 or so minutes a game.

Dejon - combo guard - did average 9 points per game as a freshman - would have 3 years to play after sitting 2017-18 . Brison averaged 4 points . Both are from New Orleans . G -Town , Houston, Creighton also interested.
Agree would pass on the grad transfer guard .

He has terrible shooting stats. His main offensive value would be getting to the free throw line and with a step up in defense, that may not be as forthcoming. EFG% 45.6%.

Well he is visiting Gonzaga on August 1st, he can't be all bad. I respect Mark Few's success over the years. And per ESPN, they have mentioned interest from Colorado State, Oregon, Texas Southern, and South Carolina. LSU also in the mix today.

LSU was his runner up to T-Tech out of HS, so not surprising he's considering going there. However, they have 15 committed for next year, so would need some type of attrition for that happen. If he goes to Zags or UO he wouldn't be going there for playing time. He provides some dribble penetration & experience off the bench (3rd/4th guard) at Gonzaga, and basically the same at UO, given E Brown is Oregon's only upper classmen at guard. Definitely don't need him at SDSU. Doesn't bring anything we don't already have from a skillset and experience perspective.

Lamine Diane is putting up 24/PPG and 11/RPG as a Frosh jump shooter in the Big West. He played HS ball with Nate Mensah at Findlay Prep. How did he end up at C.S.U.N? The kid from Senegal I assume will move on at some point. I don't know how this 3-star player didn't get that many looks and offers? Diane has had 8 double, doubles in 13 games. Get him on the AQ path CSUN to SDSU.

Why did two different coaches miss this obvious stud? Was he stuck behind Lew Alcindor? You're looking at his advanced stats which are valuable but based on scant playing time. Valentine has had four years to play three. At this point, he's played in 47 games and has attempted 78 field goals. By comparison, Chol (who played on much better teams) played in 98 games and had attempted 234 shots at this point in his career. To be clear, I hope that y'all are right. I'm just more excited about our returning players and some of our other newbs. Hoetzel, in one year, has played 240 minutes in 31 games and has attempted 56 field goals. Again, have you seen him play? Comparing Chol to Valentine is ridiculous - they play completely different roles. Izundu didn't pick up a basketball until the 9th grade, when he was a gangly 6'6. He played JV ball until his senior year. He was extremely late to the game, and extremely raw. Despite that, and despite not playing a single game of varsity ball, he was being recruited by Texas, SMU & Marquette after his junior year, and decided to stay close to home at Houston. He played in 20 games as an extremely raw FR, setting several defensive records for a FR. He then left the team & looked to transfer, only to change his mind at the last minute & return to the team his SO year. He had to apologize to his team for doing so, and missing a lot of time with them over the summer. It hurt him, and he rarely played as a SO, partially due to injuries as well (he was their 7th man until getting injured). However, he was going to return for his junior year until his coach got fired. At WSU he put on 20 lbs & worked on his game. He was the PRIMARY starting center at WSU last year, both before his injury & then late in the season. Nobody started more games at center, despite Ernie being completely messed up all year long & starting 3 guys, none of whom got consistent minutes. He played 15 minutes a game, which is all we'd ever need him to play at SDSU, but even those #'s are skewed. If you remove the game he was injured in the first minute, and 2 others which he started but had to be pulled due to soreness, he averaged 17 minutes a game. He would have played more except he's a defensive specialist who plays on a team which a) has few offensive weapons, and b) doesn't play or value defense much. His backup, Clifford, is an offensive specialist who stunk on D, yet played about the same # of minutes because Ernie needed someone they could go to consistently when Hawk was off the floor. If WSU had 1 other offensive weapon at guard/wing, Izundu would have played a lot more minutes. That's not something he has to worry about here. As Bill pointed out, when on the floor he basically delivers what Sky delivered. Same # of shots per minute; as strong if not stronger shot blocking stats. He's also very coachable. Kent has called him the "best athlete he's ever coached". He'll be a guy who runs the floor very well, possibly better than most if not all centers we'll face. He's very much like Chol in that regard. He'll crash the boards well. But most importantly, he'll protect the rim, something we really don't have this year. He'll give us size to battle the Karnowski's & Rabb's of the world, and he won't have to cover for a bunch of poor defenders like he had to last year. The only question mark is whether he can stay healthy. He's proven he can play 17-18 minutes a game, and he's played as many as 27 minutes - against New Mex & Aget/Williams where he went for 10/3/2/2. He was hurt 2 games later. He's never proven he can stay healthy for 30. This year, with our staff, he'll actually have a defined role & a spot defined within the rotation, which he didn't have. He won't need to play 25-30 minutes. We don't need him to put up 5-6 shots a game, although he's perfectly capable. Probably more so than Sky. Like Sky, he's a perfect fit for what we're trying to do. Bump. There was an overabundance of cock-sure basketball analysis in this thread. Sdcoug was particularly dismissive of my dissenting predictions. Izundu was a stiff. MGC was a stiff and it looks like Narain is too. These three guys got a lot of love from coug and I caught a ton of grief for being skeptical.

He knows his stuff and his input is valuable but he seemed to be a major optimist (which I partially mean as a compliment) and wouldn't ever criticize anything coaching, players, or university related
Probably why he has stopped contributing on this site since the football and basketball has now taken a downturn

I noticed that he went radio silent 2 months ago. He’s a passionate guy who has access. He tended to overestimate the prowess of a particular player each season. He’d point to his access, viewing practices and speaking with coaches, as the main validation for his opinions. It seemed to me that his predictions conspicuously aligned with what would be the team’s best case scenario. Consequently, guys like Izundu, Narain, and Teki never resembled the players he described from unseen practices.
