I fully expect Jaden to go to Washington assuming Jalen isn’t back (which is extremely likely that he leaves)

I think a lot of factors, but ultimately if this year went well he would of gone to SDSU. With how disappointing a season they had he’ll stay close to home

With how disappointing a season they had he’ll stay close to home It was disappointing, but we still had a chance to go to the big tourney. A few more buckets and maybe we are playing Thursday or Friday. I think our lack of depth hurt us this year as well as lack of a good offensive scheme. If Jalen stays and Jaden comes here, our team will be a lot better.

Not because I’m being a selfish “oOo what if”, but I think SDSU is an extremely appealing landing spot next year Jaden, especially if Jalen stays. I think we get neither or both.
And I’m seeing one mock with Jalen at 31, one mock with him at 41, and a whole bunch of mocks with him nowhere.
A fourth year and a fifth year in the backcourt. Year two Mensah at the 5. And McDaniels bros on the wings.
Gives them both the opportunity to play together, the chance to switch freely between inside and outside, enough firepower to make doubling very difficult, and a team good enough to get national attention for draft purposes. I don’t think there’s been anything like that since... the Morris bros?
But who knows what they want. Just as likely Jalen is over it and Jaden goes for the P5. Wouldnt blame either of them.

I agree, I think we've built a very appealing roster to surround both the McDaniels bros for next season. The perfect pieces would be in place for their style to thrive and their skills to be on full display, while we also have a lot of team success

If I'm not mistaken, Jalen hasn't declared for the draft yet? That means, to me, he hasn't decided, which would seem to indicate there's a chance he'll come back... Perhaps, we can infer from this a legit chance of both McDaniels being on the team next year.
Ah, to dream a little dream...

Jalen declared and isn't coming back. Does that tilt the scales to Washington? Probably.

Jalen declared and isn't coming back. Does that tilt the scales to Washington? Probably. It could actually factor in either way, depending on what Jaden is looking at. Had he stayed, Jaden & Jalen would have been competing primarily for time at the same position (the 4), with scattered minutes at the 3 and 5 possibly. With him leaving, the lion's share of minutes at the 4 would be wide open for Jaden to monopolize. If playing side by side with his brother (even if it meant one of them playing out of position during the overlap on the floor) was his priority, then it hurts our chances. If having a clear path to being the #1 guy and plenty of minutes at the 4 was his main goal, then it could help us.

Does anyone recall whether any recruit has ever selected SDSU once his recruiting thread exceeded 30 pages? 40 pages? (I think Zylan's thread was pretty lengthy.) This could be critical to our analysis.

Jalen declared and isn't coming back. Does that tilt the scales to Washington? Probably. Who knows other than Jaden, probably Jalen, the parents, maybe Clint Parks and one or two others. UW is a great school in my birthplace. Both of my parents graduated from UW. The program appears on the upswing. It's down the road from Federal Way. All factors being considered, I'm sure. But, when my daughter was looking at schools, SDSU was not on her list primarily because she wanted to "go away for college". Maybe Jaden wants to "get away". He and his parents know the SDSU program backwards and forwards, and they have to be very appreciative of the protective approach that the university and coaching staff took with Jalen and his legal situation. If it was an easy decision for the family to make, it would have already been made. IMO, he can't go wrong either way.

My quess is that Jalen leaving confirms that Jaden is not coming. Hope Jaden makes his decision known so we can all move along.

If it was an easy decision for the family to make, it would have already been made. IMO, he can't go wrong either way. Yep. Also, I don’t think Jalen’s year went quite the way he hoped it would, but he left anyway. Which means he was always going to leave, Jaden knew that, and still has/had interest. There should still be a lot of appeal to come to State. There is also a lot of appeal to go to any of the schools on his list. He’s a dang McD AA. By far the highest recruit that’s ever considered is this heavily. No consolation prizes here, but we can’t be mad with where we’re at. We also can’t be mad if he’d rather go elsewhere. Either decision is completely understandable. Also to a different psot made above - Jaden will not sniff playing the 5 wherever he goes. I’m positive that promise will be made by the school he chooses. Nathan looking very good late helps us in that regard, and while Nolan largely struggled, that still bottles up 95% of our 5 minutes.

It's a toss up if he's coming or not...nobody knows not even those close to the team...I don't feel Jalen leaving has anything to do with it...Jaden is only playing one year...so it's not matter the academic or player development...it's just playing somewhere for a mandatory year before the NBA...so it's all about being comfortable...for at least a contender...everyone wants to win or be associated with a winner...Jalen says his brother is both comfortable with staff and the college atmosphere...I'm sure he has visited on several occasions and has experienced the lifestyle of a basket baller on/off campus...most of all...the Aztecs have the capability to go to the tourney...pretty much all he would have to do is plug himself in where Jalen use to be...and make his jump shots...his other choice is stay in WA and play in front of mom and pop...and be the home town hero...the kid has options...whatever he chooses...power to him.....

I think that he included the Aztecs in his top five as way to acknowledge the program. He and his brother have been treated well. Frankly, the other teams have more to offer than we do. I’d be very surprised if he chose SDSU

Jaden was leaning towards SDSU in October/November. The way the season unfolded kills our chances imo. Jalen leaving has nothing to do with it because he was never coming back next year
