Notice it says he's considering "San Diego State and Gonzaga?" That loss as a #1 seed in the second round of the NCAAs after having been less than impressive in the dance for a few years prior has hurt the Zags a lot. And Davis would be playing in front of nobody at half his conference games in the WCC. Then there are the several great OOC opponents we have this year. And of course the chance to spend a year in America's Finest City rather than in Spokane. And finally the fact we know he's visiting us this weekend and my check of the Gonzaga board says nada about him having scheduled a visit there. Ergo, if Davis chooses Gonzaga over SDSU, I'll be very, very surprised.

Ergo, if Davis chooses Gonzaga over SDSU, I'll be very, very surprised. Gonzaga doesn't have much on SDSU. We've produced 21 NBA'ers...them 17. We were #3 two seasons ago, they hit #1 this past season. We have 2 current NBA players (Kawhi, Malcolm Thomas) they have 3 (Robert Sacre, Turiaf, and Austin Daye). We both have a 2013 NBA draft 1st rounder. Arenas and fan support are very comparable. When you compare both teams it boils down to exposure/prospects, and environment...and both are comparable but SDSU has better weather, more attractive women (of all races), and probably better exposure (more games NBA scouts will attend.) Mtn West and out out-of-conference schedule is a bit tougher (which is good.) Then you can distill it down to role with the team and how much they like the coaching staffs. I think SDSU is a smarter fit and would not be surprised if he signs next week.

Ergo, if Davis chooses Gonzaga over SDSU, I'll be very, very surprised. Thanks to the new TV deal we should have more than a few games on ESPN. With an OOC schedule of Arizona, Kansas, Washington, and the DirectTV classic we have such a legit schedule. If he wants exposure, he'll definitely get it here just as much as he would in Gonzaga. Not sure what their OOC schedule is but it can't be that much better than ours, plus the WCC conference schedule is so soft. I'm not saying I can't see a way he doesn't go to Gonzaga because of course he could go there and hit it off with the team and the coaches in a way that he doesn't here. But if he is looking at just "where am i going to get more exposure?" I think SDSU is slightly ahead of Gonzaga at this point. And that's a pretty cool thing to be able to say.

The Aztcs also really need a guy with exactly his talents, which will give him a better opportunity to display his talents. for the NBA scouts.

They always load up their OOC schedule because the WCC is so weak. The problem is after January 1st when WCC play starts nobody cares about them unless it's against SMC.

I would guess SDSU , would have better masters programs then the Zags, he could chat with Shelton , or Garret Green . NBA scouts would be more likely dropping in to see MW games then WCC games. Would also speculate there will be more people watching Aztec games vs Arizona, Kansas, Washington, NM, UNLV, USC ( new coach ) Direct TV Tournament games then the Zags OOC games and WCC games. Zags and St . Mary's lost key players , the MW has UNM , rated , UNLV reloading. Zags , have two bigs coming back, two HS recruits / both bigs , a transfer and red shirt big . Aztecs have two bigs - both non starters coming back , JJ'O can not match up with true PF, Aztecs lost 80% of their offense. Davis would be the most experienced go to player for the Aztecs . Can only hope Davis sees the Aztecs as his best opportunity to make it into the NBA , (hope K.Leonard has some monster games)but you never know and the Zags will also be building their case also.

Angelo Chol was a good get. Josh Davis would be a better get. Justin Hutson back on the coaching staff and recruiting and coaching the defense........Priceless!

Why do you think he might want to attend a religious school now when he hasn't done so before (NC State and Tulane)?

i just looked at their schedule and noticed how the wcc runs their conference tourney. the #1 and #2 seeds get a pass in to the semi's. and, if you are the #8 or #9 you have to win four games in four nights just to get to the finals!

The Aztecs make so much sense for this player.
I have to think if he gets on campus, he will sign here -

The WCC is Gonzaga. I can't think of another conference that one school so totally dominates.

Believe the link you are posting for the Gonzaga 2013 schedule is their 2012-13 schedule . They played at U of ILL last year, this year they are playing in the Maui T , that includes Ark, CAL, Orange. Not sure if they have other games posted , but they know they need to beef up their OOC, after last years disappointing run in March Madness .Pacific moves from the Big West to the WCC. St . Mary's should take a hit with the loss of their top Guard and the penalty from the NCAA. Conference that other then BYU( who has a very good recruiting class) has mostly smaller size arenas or gyms. Gonzaga when full holds 6,000.

We have.. but most of them were before the common era of basketball and boasting about them is about as silly as boasting about football winning the small school national championship. We have put 2 legit players in the NBA. Michael Cage and Jamaal Franklin. Joel Kramer is a distant 3rd.
