Boogie Ellis on the other hand, is a quiet, polite, unassuming kid. He should be our #1 target moving forward.

Well, regarding Taeshon Cherry, he was expelled from Foothills Christian yesterday. Soooo glad he will never be an Aztec. I would have loved to have him

I would have loved to have him His talent pales in comparison to his lack of emotional maturity and all the baggage he brings along with him. He's good, but if you are benched by Brad Leaf, who gives his players a lot of leeway....Something is seriously awry.

Maybe, but only 1 has offered (USC) & they already have a 4* PG recruit in the class of 2018 & could be facing NCAA issues. Plus, they're now tied into the Compton Magic rather than the Oakland Soldiers. We've been on him as hard if not harder than everyone else and have the advantage of distance; time will tell.

From what I've heard... SDSU is definitely in the running, but a UCLA offer may change that.

Maybe, but they already have Tyger Campbell signed for next year who is an excellent PG (& not a 1 & done), and they have Sherfield committed for 2019, who's a combo guard. Plus Hands in front of them. They're loaded at the guard position in the 2018 & 2019 classes, so they'd need to see a bunch of attrition IMO for that to become a reality. You never know though. I'd think Ellis would be a plan B recruit for UCLA, but maybe that'd be enough to keep him interested?

www.prephoops.com/2018/03/2019-pg-prospects-gianni-hunt-vs-rejean-boogie-ellis/This was a good article and finally got to reading it (behind a paywall I believe), but essentially it compares the two. And the conclusion is that neither is a true point guard rather a scoring guard. Boogie has/is a better frame, ball handling, scoring, and shooting, while Hunt has a better motor, defending, and athleticism. They draw on passing.

I don't get the UCLA appeal. When Wooden was coach and they were winning yes, but now they play in a mostly empty old Gym and typically with pretty poor teams.

Pauley was completely redone a few years ago, they just opened the Mo Ellis practice facility in 2017, and the average 11000 fans in 2017. Never mind looking up at all the banners. UCLA remains a blue blood and, along with Arizone, the premier program on the west coast. If only we had their money.

UCLA & Arizona are the only programs on the west coast in the "elite" category. Gonzaga is an excellent program, with terrific success (esp. recently), but they are in no way viewed the same as UCLA or Arizona.

Zags have risen beyond the "mid-major" category, and definitely a strong & respected program, but not in the same category as UA or UCLA. The next notch below with Oregon, etc.

You can also look at National Championships, # of players currently (let alone historically) in the NBA, athletic department budget, quality of team facilities & other support to student athletes, conference affiliation (i.e., ability to play against meaningful opponents from Dec-Feb when scouts are watching), and on and on and on...
The Zags have a really good thing going, but to compare them the UCLA & Arizona is just ridiculous.

The latter isn't playing on a level playing field with the others in their conference. Zags have a great program, but they're NOT a blue blood. UCLA is. If UCLA had to face Gonzaga's conference schedule they'd be in the dance annually as well. If WE had to face their conference schedule we'd be pretty close as well. That's not taking anything away from what Few has accomplished, but it's also why he's looking to get out AND even demanded an easier path to the tourney. He knows if it came down to being an at-large that streak would have been broken several times.
