1 unused? + 3 seniors =4 -3 recruits = 1? Is that all we have left, baring defections, for next season? Would think looking at one big/5 transfer as that is where we lose YW, NN and NM is still questionable?

Hopefully he is back and healthy but, would still b on scholarship unless he left school. So would count if he played or not.

let's see what the medical reports / options are for Nathan
Did think that if an athlete was not able to play for medical reasons that they were switched over to another type of scholarship but do not know for sure

I'm afraid you're probably right but in my day I've seen a lot of medical diagnosis either be wrong or off base as far as recovery time. Doctors often err on the side of caution. I'm still hoping we have him before the end of the season. |

As most of us have said wait to here what the doctors tell him and then what he chooses to tell us . Guess coaches will error if anything on the side of being cautious
Do hope the Aztecs pursue the grad transfers that play the 5 or 4 - is still hard to beat out the P6 schools but Yanni's success this year does help greatly . Also check out JC transfers. Would also be helpful if Yanni could help them get contacts with players from New Zealand and Australia .

According to an Aztec insider we can all expect Malachi to turn pro next fall; opening up a second scholarship. Assume Dutch and staff look to replace the 4/5 position (Yanni) and a scoring guard (Malachi/KJ) with Trey as the starting PG for the 20-21 team as a Senior with Matt, Jordy and Nathan as starters.

Not sure Trey will be the starting PG unless he works a whole lot on his shooting and general aggressiveness. He was a good temporary substitute to give KJ and Malachi breathers and he had that great day @ UNLV that pretty much won the game for us. But other that that tear-drop shot in the lane, his shooting leaves a lot to be desired. He's 33% from 3 and 64% FT. He did had a 2.14:1 TO-Assist ratio which was better than KJ's and would have ranked 52nd among D1 guards in the country, so he can distribute the ball. More than his shooting is his general lack of offensive aggressiveness. I know he often deferred to the "shooters" on the floor but when he had really open looks, he rarely took them. The offense really stagnated when he and Seiko were on there floor at the same time. I thought he had turned the corner after the 1st UNLV game. He had 18 points (17% of his entire season's total) and was looking to score throughout the game. But it never carried over to the rest of the season. I really like the kid and hope he ups his game next year. |

I dont think Sieko is a true PG. I dont disagree with your assesment, But as a senior Trey has all but been promised the spot and averaged 18 minutes a game. |

I have never seen him play in person, but from what I have seen on video and what I have heard, Lamont Butler could really push for significant minutes next year at PG.

I've only seen Butler in person once, at the Torrey Pines Tournament last December. He didn't exactly dominate but he accumulated good stats without you really even noticing. He's got that wide-body lower half that can back slighter guards into the key and to the basket. His passes were mostly accurate but not flashy. He didn't score much that game put has put up numbers in other games.
He looked in charge and confident without appearing cocky or strutting around and bumping chests a lot. Not sure if he can take over a D1 program as a true freshman but I think he'd at least be serviceable except maybe in the area of scoring.

Think he is a high quality guard but also will be a Freshman that will be going through the transition from HS to college - make the usual freshman mistakes - also if Malachi leaves means that we could have -as of today - Trey P or Adam S as the other guard .

Would you rather me go off of recruiting videos where everyone makes every shot and never turns over the ball? Wasn't I nice enough for you? Should I gush endlessly about him because he signed with us? Oh god. The guy with no take that complains about anyone else's. |

Not sure if he can take over a D1 program as a true freshman but I think he'd at least be serviceable except maybe in the area of scoring. Yea, I saw all his games at TP + 1 other, and he a fundamentally sound player. Had a couple good games and a couple when he was in foul trouble and/or struggled. But the coaches absolutely love his game, and a friend of mine who scouted him for another university was very impressed with him as well. (my friend absolutely LOVED Dinwiddie but really liked Butler). He'll be a FR; if he was a FR wing he'd probably be fine, but PG requires a little bit of an adjustment. But IMO guys who are pass-first players, like Butler, adjust faster than a PG who may be a score-first, pass 2nd player in HS, which many (if not most) tend to be. IMO Butler & Pulliam have similar games - terrific pass first guys who make others look better, but who need to up their shooting to be more consistent and effective. Luckily Butler has a few years for that, and we saw the potential in Pulliam. |
