So this has become just another "let's post about all transfers" thread?
It would be nice to have *one* thread dedicated to only those transfers credibly linked to SDSU...

I've seen one name linked to the Aztecs, Jalen Bridges, WVA. However, I've have included ex-Aztec recruits (possible bounce-backs?)

I'd share what I've heard but you'd just bazaarly accuse me of making a "thinly veiled racist comment" because you know I'm not "woke".

would think that Ethan would be a guard candidate for the Aztecs as well Absolutely not, he’s the exact opposite of what we are looking for

Stanford transfer PG 6'3" Noah Taitz, is in the portal, selected Stanford. Stanford is looking for another PG ball handler. Taitz spent two years in Palo Alto, and was a 4-star player from Las Vegas. The Aztecs made his short list out of HS.

Andre Curbelo PG Illinois is in the portal. He’d be a great get, Dutcher’s ties to Midwest will help here. Remember Brian Carlwell & Quinton Watkins were Illinois transfers. Watkins never became eligible ended up having a good career at Cal State LA. Watkins woulda made a difference for Sweet 16 team with Kawhi.

Plus TCU & Texas tech from the Big XII, he still has game. Not the best shooter, big, thick aggressive defender, who can find the open man. Played HS at Fairfax, LA.

Watkins never became eligible ended up having a good career at Cal State LA. Watkins woulda made a difference for Sweet 16 team with Kawhi. I like Curbelo's speed and defensive, poor shooter from long range. Was a 4-star HS PG 3 years ago. Voted the 2021 Big Ten Sixth Man of the Year, but went down for 12 games with injuries and concussions. He also held offers from Indiana, Texas A&M, Kansas, Oregon, Florida, UConn, Georgetown, Providence, Louisville, Boston College, Pitt, Maryland and Texas Tech. “These past two years have been insane,” Curbelo said in a tweet. “So many amazing moments and some hard times that we had to battle through.” “Unfortunately, my time here at [the University of Illinois] has come to an end & I have decided to enter the transfer portal.” Inconsistent play kept out of the starting line-up, bad shooter since his return from injury.

Curbelo is a loose cannon on the court, just the opposite of the calming influence we need at point. Illinois was a way better team when he wasn't in the game than when he was. Pass.

Key of course and do not think we get too much information - what players have responded back to the Aztecs - that they want to come here . ?
Sometimes Zeigler is allowed to mention it in his articles .
If I remember ? Dutcher and the staff head down to the Coaches meetings at the Final 4 . While they are there they chat with fellow coaches about some of the players in the Portal to hear what the coaches think of them .
Believe players can visit now that Covid regulations have been eased - do they ? or do they rely more on chatting with players ?
Thought I saw a player from Michigan in the Portal would their coach chat with Dutcher or others in the BIG ?.
Unfortunately do not think Dutcher has that many strong ties to the BIG schools as we would hope .
Also if you look at the top transfers from P6 schools they usually want to go to another P6 school .

Noah Taitz would be a nice addition to the team. A couple of days ago I was wondering if he would become available. Gundo thanks for the update. I think he is more of a shooting guard with good handles so may not be an issue and would be a really good replacement for Bradley the following year. Smart player so lets do this. Could see him ending up at a BYU or Saint Mary’s.

The guy who covers Nevada thinks SDSU might be a landing spot for Washington if Mensah doesn’t return. The reason he’s leaving Nevada is due to shared minutes where he’ll probably only get 20 a game.

Think the Aztec coaches do not say much about recruiting - they are the only real source - unless they make some comments to Zeigler that they choose to be made public .

I refer more to the " hey this player hit transfer portal and we could use him type post"

Personally if there was a good relationship with a player and the player enters the portal there is a good chance there will be a discussion with that player again and it could be initiated either way. This is just common sense. The relationship was already established it just a renewal to see if their is interest and or talk about potential areas the player should consider. Example is Noah from Stanford and Wayne from USD. I am sure there was a discussion which does not always mean mutual interest.

Isnt there an administration person that can clean this up....just asking. There are over 930+ names in the portal, this is hardly a thread of "Nice to Have" players. All players that I have posted have either shown interest or have been previously recruited. I can't speak for everyone. But that's my qualifier. Aztec coaches typically dont recruit transfers in public: Tomiac, Baker-Mazara, Diabate, etc, however, we have had many bounce backs throughout the years: Polee, X Thames, JJ, etc.. Previously recruited are possibilities given our history.
