I know it isn’t or shouldn’t be one of the major reasons to choose a B.B. program but I can’t imagine a kid from Baltimore would rather spend2-4 years in Boise rather than San Diego, especially if all other things are relatively the same. I think the evolution of Chandler Hutchinson has rightly impressed a whole slew of recruits. From the recent Adam Zarogia Blog. San Diego State: “Love the coaches and their system of play. The academics were the most impressive to me. So many majors and opportunities. And what I liked the most was 24-hour access to the gym! And the development of players, Kawhi Leonard, for example.” Boise State: “Really love how Coach (Leon) Rice and (Chris) Acker made me feel on my official visit. They made sure Chandler Hutchinson and I communicated and I love how they developed him into a pro.” Why Boise State Basketball?

Could they have more PT at BSU then with Aztecs - could be important factor . Would also guess that BSU 's HC has told him that he was the main factor in the development for the BSU players -
Hope we have also asked for an in home visit as well

Acker, as everyone knows is now at SDSU... I am hearing that as long as SDSU doesn’t land someone that would be directly competing with Che, in this class, that he is coming to SDSU.

Understand that we have hired Acker - as that is how we have the opportunity to recruit Che . BSU has added R-Jay- Barsh another coach noted for player development -and variety of Connections- he has been coaching in the East and has run camps . You Never know with the AAU connections .
So they are still in the running even with Acker coming here .
So why not ask Che for an In Home Visit as well - with Dutcher and Acker ....

Acker, as everyone knows is now at SDSU... I am hearing that as long as SDSU doesn’t land someone that would be directly competing with Che, in this class, that he is coming to SDSU. Thanks for the insight. I mean he is down to 2 options. One of the reasons he calls out school B is because of a coach who is now at school A so it certainly seems like our chances are good. He's announcing in 2 1/2 weeks -- unless there's someone out there we don't know about, it seems very unlikely we land someone to compete directly with him before he announces. Would Hawkins be considered direct competition? He seems like the only guy who could potentially commit (as far as public info goes) in that timeline with his visit coming up. Is there someone else who would commit and prevent him from coming?

Is there someone else who would commit and prevent him from coming? Dream scenario would be landing Che and Coleman. Don't see them in competition for playing time. While Coleman could play the 3, he is a stretch 4. Che is a 2, that could play the 3.

Yeah, that's what I was thinking as well (failed to make the point that it doesn't seem like Coleman would be direct competition). Che, Coleman to go along with Butler would be a very nice trio in that class.

Che is a 2/3, Hawkins is a 4 that can play a tiny bit of 5 in certain matchups (i suppose he could pass as a 3 too but i don't love that thought)

Che seems very level headed , passing up the P5 schools that may over recruit in a position that he plays . Believe he said he enjoyed all the Majors available at SDSU and the fact that we have the JAM center open 24/7 for guys to work on their game . He definitely wants to be developed into an NBA prospect - so the coaching and ability to play seem very important for him
Could there be more PT at BSU at his position I do not know - seems from the clip that he mostly plays the 3 position- that he creates plays midway from the basket and working on his outside shot . So as would guess he would want to play the 3- or 2 if he sees himself as an NBA 2 position.
So he could be looking at those issues PT and the development into an NBA player .
Do think that an In Home visit could assist him in making a decision . So would hope our staff makes the effort to do one seems BSU is .

Dutch & Acker need to make a home visit, lest they get one-upped by bsu. Don't take the risk/chance.

Everthing I've read/heard is that he likes Leon Rice and has been loyal, even with Coach Chris Acker coming to SDSU. I think we should have a leg up, given the JAM Center, Kawhi, Jalen and our MBB staff. Plus, I would have to believe that San Diego is a more attractive city vs Boise. The wild card is his health, is re-habbing from lower leg surgery.

do think we should try to get an in home visit to talk with him and his family - agree it is not a slam dunk that we are going to be able to sign him he wants the development and PT -as with most guys looking for a NBA career the city where you play your college is not the feature deciding point - want a staff that is committed to getting him prepared for the NBA . Do think that is why Acker is so important but so is the BSU coach and his assistant

It appears that SDSU and BSU are recruiting him hard despite his recovery. I do think we have a bit more to offer him in terms of facilities and our program has had a better history. And, you don't have to worry about temps in single digits during the winter here. Also, Acker was part of the equation for him at BSU. Acker was big in Hutchinson's development. He would be a good get.

He would be a good get. The kid was a Top 100 recruit before the injury then dropped 80 points, so the injury was probably severe. My point is I hope he selects SDSU and I hope he is healthy. But, he still has an allegiance to Rice. Plus a real interest in SDSU.

We've recruited guys with injuries in the past: Malik Pope, Zylan Cheatham and Tapley (?) and have had success.

Would guess the coaches got a good idea of Che 's thoughts while he was here or maybe ask the guys who were with him. There were pictures of Che with our guard recruit - does show his interest also in having Che here - or he can provide some input.
He has stated he is looking for a a school that can best assist him in his development for NBA . If we are really hoping to sign him then would think we would try to get the in home visit . LISTEN to what he and family feel are important concerns and then provide answers . Show our commitment
