I don’t think we seriously recruit him unless we miss on Joel or Nate

I’m happy that Nevada is good and continuing to recruit well. They will be a big part of rebuilding the conference to multiple bids. SDSU and Nevada look to be the clear front runners for the next year or two. UNM has recruited okay and should be back to a bubble team by 2018-19. UNLV has potential to return to 20+ yearly wins under Menzies, and possibly even better than that in another year or two after they get their legs under them program-wise. Boise looks to continue their streak of tourney-quality teams, as does Fresno. CSU always fields competitive teams. If I had to lay money on it, I’d say we get two bids this year and at least three next year.

Since he's in conference can't really move this. Any votes to lock it & forget it?

We are going to regret missing out on this kid-he seems to have a lot of the intangibles this team has been missing of late. The one guy I wanted us to go after instead of holding a spot for a transfer.

thank you for your input it is very much appreciated and you are considered a very valuable member of this board by almost everyone and further you are a godsend to the sdsu community and a model citizen. No shot at this guy..move on...it's is over Just wanted to let you know you are still considered a very valuable member of this board by almost everyone and everyone likes you and what you have to say. It's a bummer you left for the summer after we got our recruiting class because seriously, everyone REALLY likes you. You're the best.

Only SDSU and Nevada can do that in '17, UNM should be able to win in '18, UNLV is still the great unknown.

Nothing matters except comparative performances among bubble teams against top 25 RPI, against top 50 RPI, losses against 200+ RPI, and overall RPI/BPI. Total wins doesn’t matter. “P5” wins doesn’t matter.

Only SDSU and Nevada can do that in '17, UNM should be able to win in '18, UNLV is still the great unknown. Not necessarily. As Azteccc points out, it's all dependent on the rest of the At-large candidates. Last year was filled with a bunch of teams with warts. Had CSU beat UNR in the final we may have had 2 last year, and definitely if UNR hadn't lost @ USU. All you need is your regular season champ not to have any bad losses & not win the conference tourney. In the year prior, had we not lost to USD we most likely get a AL bid & the MWC has 2 teams. SDSU & UNR are both good enough to garner a potential at-large bid this year- just need to avoid bad losses. UNR is expected to go 12-2 in NC this year, and neither projected loss (TCU/T-Tech) would hurt them. Even without a P6 win. If they do that & win or tie for the regular season crown they're fine. We're expected to go 8-3 in NC, assuming we split our last 2 Wooden games. If we have a solid MWC season & no bad losses we're fine. For us, Zags and SMC's aren't must wins, just bonus games that could really pad our resume, but the critical games are ASU & Cal - borderline top 100 teams. Don't want to lose those at home (Cal), and beating a ASU on the road would be a quality win. Can't lose more than 1 home game during conference play (ideally none), and if we do it needs to be to a top team. FSU, BSU & Wyoming are all dangerous teams, and I think UNLV is being undervalued as well. Between their 2 guards (Johnson & Mooring), McCoy & the #1 JC stud that's a scary unit. Any of those 4 teams could shine as well. Possible SDSU/UNR wouldn't win the conference tourney, and the MWC still sends 2 if not 3.

For most non P6 schools - IMO - For at Large MM bid. A Quality OOC with of course good wins while avoiding bad losses is paramount . Need to pick up some quality wins - At ASU , Zags , Wooden Classic - may play Georgia and would need to get to finals to play SMC . CAL is a PAC school but not as good as ASU
Wolf Pack do play Texas Tech and TCU , they also need a quality wins during OOC .
Not sure what quality teams the other MW teams play during OOC , but that is the opportunity to get into the top 25 . If MW does not have teams in the top 25 or close , by the end of OOC then it is difficult to get there during the regular season , and get MM at large bid .

If MW does not have teams in the top 25 or close , by the end of OOC then it is difficult to get there during the regular season , and get MM at large bid . "Top 25" is too limiting & very arbitrary, and definitely not accurate. The column definitions on the NCAA tourney cheat sheet are: Column A Win: Top 30 at home; Top 50 at a neutral site; Top 75 on the road. Column B Win: Top 31-75 at home; Top 51-100 neutral; and Top 76-135 on the road. Beating a top 25 team at home isn't much different than beating a top 75 team on the road. It helps your RPI at little more, but then again so does just winning in general. Better to beat a #60 team than lose to a #25. We just need a few teams in the top 50-75, and plenty in the top 135. In theory we should have 7-8 teams in the top 135, all potential resume builders on the road. Focusing on the top 25 is too limiting; it's primarily teams from just 4-5 conferences, and 25 has never been the criteria. You can stack your OOC schedule with A & B games, but losing them all doesn't do any good. Better to go 9-3 OOC & 1-1 against A-B teams than 6-6 overall & 1-3 against A/B teams. You have to be smart. Losing a Column A game isn't a killer by any means, but total victories are equally important, assuming your schedule isn't overly padded with 200+ teams. In OOC play, both SDSU & UNR's have 2 Column A games & 2 Column B, assuming we get Georgia/SMC. The toughest among all legit contenders, as it should be. At worst, we'll be 1 A & 3 B's. FSU has 1 & 1; BSU has 2 A's; Wyoming 2 A's; and UNLV 1 A & 1 B. Some may have more if I'm missing day 2/3 of any holiday tourney's, but that's a decent mix of games. 2nd tier teams aren't overloading themselves. All should have several Column B games during conference play, and potentially 2-3 Column A's if SDSU/UNR & 1 other team stays/gets into the top 75. Bottom line - don't slip up against bad teams; win most if not all against top 135; and if you can steal a Column A win, great. If you have a very good record against Column B, just as good. If someone goes 13-5 or 14-4 in conference this year, doesn't "choke" against teams that actually hurt the resume, they should be fine. Just win the games you play.

Is there anything that makes it difficult for a MWC player to transfer within the MWC? I don't recall seeing too many guys switch from one team to another within the conference.

The new NCAA rules now prohibit anything to stop or dictate where a student athlete transfers to. Any school, any conference, doesn’t matter...
