The article doesn’t even really mention SDSU other than to say it’s in his top 5. At this point there is probably an 80% he goes to UW, 15% chance to UK and maybe 5% to SDSU. Eh I disagree with that. I think it's probably 45% Washington, 35% SDSU, 20% Kentucky. This article didn't offer any clues on where he is going. He's been really tight lipped about it. He values family and being close to home, and Washington and SDSU offer both (Washington more then SDSU, but SDSU has a family-type relationship with Jaden and Jalen). Kentucky offers neither. Insider, family member or just hopeful?

UK offers the biggest stage. If he thinks of himself as a 1 and done and potential #1 pick next year then UK would be the best place to make that happen.

Top 5 recruits aren’t concerned with playing time.

Insider, family member or just hopeful? Just somebody who has been following what he has said and what other have said. The interviewer asked him questions about two schools. That does not mean that he is leaning towards those two schools. The national analysts have no idea who will win although they think that its a Washington lean. I'm inclined to agree with their prognosis. It fits with everything that he has said publicly. Going with what he has publicly said, I have SDSU #2 and Kentucky #3. JMO

Not quite strong enough, not quite aggressive enough to stat stuff against NBA caliber competition. You could see it watching him play in the McDonalds game.

Not quite strong enough, not quite aggressive enough to stat stuff against NBA caliber competition. You could see it watching him play in the McDonalds game. I agree. He may be waiting to see what Kentucky does. I don't know who, for them, have opted to go to the draft and may come back or what. If you want to be a "one-and-done" player you better come in and immediately start, so maybe he has concerns with that with Kentucky. But if he is truly waiting until August to make his decision he does hurt his chances of being that type of player. Coming in late and missing work with his new teammates doesn't help him regardless of what school he chooses.

If you're a legit 1-and-done talent, trying to find the biggest stage is of marginal value... lottery pick gonna lottery pick.

Agreed, and if you follow Clint Parks on twitter he and a couple other guys who work out McDaniels tweet about finding the place thats best for YOU, and how Kawhi, Paul George, Lillard, McCullom all went to mid majors. I definitely could be reading too much into it but I wouldn't count us out yet

I definitely could be reading too much into it but I wouldn't count us out yet Completely agree. Parks is in Jadens ear and Parks loves the underdog schools. Hes also tweeted that yes you can get to the NBA from sdsu and the MWC. Parks is always clowning the blue bloods who get the best players but rarely develop them. I wouldnt count us out.

I would guess that most guys who are top 5 recruits think they can be the #1 pick if things go their way.

Many pieces out there to complete the Aztec puzzle. Jaden is the lynch pin.

I believe that the only reason Jaden is waiting to make a decision is that he's trying to break Norvel Pelle's record on Aztec Mesa for the most pages devoted to a possible recruit...

I think The PASR forecast is just based upon us not being in a P5 Conference and nothing else. Lack of investigation

That fact that he hasn't decided makes me think that SDSU is not going to be his destination. He is probably deciding between UK and UW based on what happens with the draft. There is nothing left to 'know' about SDSU if that was his choice.

I think we’re out of the running, unfortunately. The biggest gain for us getting him I think, would be the National pub that comes with landing a top 5 player, and showing other top west coast recruits that were a plausible destination. Not sour grapes at all, but I don’t know What type of Producer Jalen will be at any school his freshman season. He’s physically not there yet, as his brother wasn’t, and from what I just read from Eric Bossi at rivals, he didn’t stand out amongst the other top players at the McDonalds game or practices. He still has a tremendously high ceiling, but he might not reach that for 5-7 years....which only helps us in the sense of his ties to the program when in the pros, not next year on the Mesa in terms of value to wins and losses. With that said, I still reeeaaally hope we land him, would be great to fulfill the McDaniels family legacy
