I'm told 5th year senior Hommes #1 destination is SDSU right now and he has reached out. Adding Juiston will be a huge get, with Hommes and his shooting makes us top 25 preseason. Jaden still leaning U of W but it's very close. With Juiston he'd get the 3/4 spot and that caters perfectly to his game. I like everything about this post. Are your sources fairly credible? |

Watched the first 3/4 of the Championship game today. He's a great FT shooter but he's 1-4 from 3 pt and most of the game he had a 6' guy guarding him.(he's 6'8") Not as much of a quick release as advertised and he gets burned a lot on defense. Not sure how good he'd be at the D1 level guarding people. He can shoot when open but against this team he had a hard time getting open. Yeah I just watched the D2 championship game. He would be a very good D1 player, but he does not have the lateral quickness to play in the NBA. I don't see him getting drafted. Hopefully he decides to become a grad transfer. He will probably have a long career overseas regardless - great player, just not NBA athleticism. Same thing could be said of Joe Ingles and a few others. If you can be an ace three point shooter with some refined skill, you can make it in the NBA with limited athleticism. You could be right about being drafted though |

But we could pull a Nevada and cut some dead weight. |

We had two graduate, plus had an open scholarship, and then with McDaniels leaving, that gives us 4. With Keshad Johnson being the only one coming in, doesn’t that give us 3 open spots? |

Check my history on these boards regarding Boogie...I posted that Coach K was calling him regularly. Where'd he go? |

we were at 12 scholarships last year . 3 guys are leaving the team . Have added 2- a transfer from Santa Clara and true Freshman So that brings us up to 11 - have 2 scholarships as of today to use if the coaches want to have 13 on scholarship in play leaving zero in case we could get a last minute add on transfer .
What position do you guess Hommes would be the most effective for the Aztecs at the 3 or 2 ? Is he better then Matt and Jordan ? Very hard to get a real read on his game when playing at the D2 level .
Do you think If he was going to transfer do you think he might be looking for an almost certain chance to be a starter for his senior year ? Would he also check out USD if he wanted to stay in San Diego or even head back to state of Washington WSU or Zags ( if they lose their forwards )?
If you are suggesting Dutcher let some guys look else where because they will not get the PT - who would you suggest ?

If you are suggesting Dutcher let some guys look else where because they will not get the PT - who would you suggest ? USD & UCSD spoke to him already. Flynn, Feagin, & Hommes is a solid backcourt. Hommes is a better shooter than Kell, Thames, or any shooter we've ever had. Like adding the kid from Utah State. I believe we may see someone leave us via transfer. |

Stan, do you really believe that the coaches are leaving scholarships open based on an overarching recruiting philosophy? You are missing it. They only leave scholarships open because they haven’t been able to get enough athletes of a certain caliber to commit. They would immediately and excitedly take any combination Juiston, Hommes, and obviously Jaden. If all three were willing, they’d make room. |

So a starting lineup of:
Flynn
Feagin
Hommes
Juiston
Mensah
Bench:
Mitchell
Shakel
Arop
Narain
Looks like a potential Top 25 team to me. Toss in McDaniels and it might be Top 10.

I think automatically plugging in Hommes over Mitchell is a bit premature. Matt is a really good player, and just because people on our board like to rag on him, he's a very solid small forward. I could be totally wrong, but I think Hommes will have a hard time defending at the high division one level. I've seen him get off the ground well, but laterally he looked slow, and that was against division two talent. Again, could be totally off, but we all know if you don't defend you don't see the court in this system. I will say though, his stroke is absolute money, never hurts to have a guy who can bomb it. Maybe we can just hide him in a zone on the other end all will be well? |

Skeptical it happens (and think juiston is at best long shot) but if you land both they both immediately become high minute starters

Maybe we can just hide him in a zone on the other end all will be well? “If you can’t defend you don’t play” has flown the coop. Mitchell isn’t a “really good” player. He’s a two year starter who hasn’t had anyone pushing him for minutes. He isn’t a strong defender. He lacks lateral quickness, can’t get off the ground, and he can’t be compared to Hommes as a shooter. Matt does have bulk and strength. He hasn’t used those attributes to his advantage. For his career, half of his shot attempts have been from three. Last year, he attempted a lot more 2 pt shots than he did as a freshman and his 2 pt FG% dropped more than 8 points. He shot .328 from three, had more turnovers than assists, and averaged just under 3 fouls a game. Mitchell isn’t a terrible player by any means, but he doesn’t appear to be destined for an all-conference team either. |

If I had to gripe on his game it's carelessness with the ball, which maybe the staff can address, maybe they can't. But Mitchell is the one big body defender we've got, and he absolutely took a top 3 player in the conference in Jordan Caroline out of the game when we played them at home last month. He's unique to us in his ability to do that. |

He's unique to us in his ability to do that. He played relatively evenly with Caroline in one of their two meetings. That’s hardly the resume of a defensive stalwart. Mitchell didn’t do we’ll contesting 3 point shots, staying in front of wings, defending post players, or keeping 4’s off of the boards. |

Would be outstanding to get him here.
As others have said, defense is going to be a liability. If he’s still coachable this far into his college career, he could be serviceable in our system. But I don’t know if he could be on the floor with Feagin at all. Also adding Juiston would help.
Hopefully Nathan can improve his foul rate on help defense. If so, that can help a lot. I also think Arop is going to get big minutes next year for defensive purposes to help hide some of our guys. Hopefully the ratings for Flynn aren’t lying (he’s superb on O, but also above average on D).

In that highlight he looks very agile for someone who is supposedly 6'8. Not saying he'd be a great defender but I don't think he'd be a liability |
