Seems like a beast... would be a terrific fit to immediately step in at the 4/5 for us.

Great to see that the Aztecs are one of the teams after him . He also played at GW . Was also a member NHS in HS .
Dutcher has said that the staff is spending a good amount of time looking at names then film of those in the grad transfer portal

Seth Towns played at Harvard 6'7, 215 from Columbus, Ohio. Averaged 5.7 Rebounds a game, 16.0 points per game. Highly desireable Grad Transfer. Can play both PF/SF one year left to play. Considering Kansas, Virginia, Syracuse, Ohio State, Michigan and Maryland, still hasn't committed. www.espn.com/mens-college-basketball/player/_/id/4066829/seth-townsDown to Duke and Ohio State.

Bruner would be a good 4/5 to pursue
plus P. Tape or K. Marfo

Bruner's point guard at Yale is a local kid named Eric Monroe, who went to Trey Kell's HS, St. Augustine.

Think it has been reported that
Towns - going to Buckeyes
Tape - Duke
Marfo - does Not have Aztecs in his top 10

Even with our #6 final ranking East coast and Midwest kids probably don't know that much about SDSU. Makes you wonder how a deep run in March Madness would have helped recruting ?

Not being able to play in MM - really hurt the Aztecs in recruiting . The successful seasons that Yanni- Grad Transfers also Feagin - but especially Yanni did not get much publicity nation wide . His development was way under the radar .
Also Malachi's achievements did not get as much attention as we would have liked - may have put him in NBA
Dutcher also lost opportunities to get his name out there for recruiting
We will see who the coaching staff can sign from the transfer list - our success this past year did help but not as much as many had hoped

Not much publicity? Did you miss the 100 or so articles on various major websites re: the Aztecs this year? Did you miss the fact Mal is a consensus 2nd team All-American, or the fact Dutcher was a finalist for EVERY national COY award? There has rarely been a time when SDSU was in the spotlight this much. Ever. Missing MM hurts every team who had a legitimate shot, but at least we're on that list of teams with a legitimate shot. That doesn't elude potential recruits. We have an outstanding recruiting class coming in & we'll be a very popular destination for transfers thanks to all the press & success Mal, KJ & Yanni had. We were already a finalist for one of the top transfers, and the transfer portal is just getting going. This whole "no one knows us", "we don't get respect" mindset is beyond me. We're a national brand; have been, and that's only getting louder as a result of this year. Our recruiting has been terrific - you don't have a season like ours if it isn't. Our incoming class is fantastic, and includes a national recruit in Evans. The transfers we landed last year were exceptional. These are exceptional times for our program, not a time for a "whoa is me" mentality. We're set up very well for the present and the future.

As I said we had a great season . There is a strong amount of Pub for the team that we follow here in San Diego . Dutcher and the staff were able to bring in what Could be some very good HS recruits - Talented and hope they will be able to contribute as they develop .
But do feel that if we had been able to play in MM we would have gained so much more nationally . IMO Yanni's development into a very good player did Not get the attention nation wide that it got here in San Diego . Think it could have boosted our reputation as great school for grad transfers even more . Plus that we are a good place for guys that play the 5/4 position to come to . Think we could have gotten a major boost in both categories -
Same goes for Coach Dutcher and Malachi - a good run in MM would have helped both of the them and the Aztecs Even More - did not say we did not get any Pub - but Not as much as hoped for Nationally and that definitely comes from results in MM
Team had a great season but a good run in MM would have helped even more . MM provides a National exposure that is not like any other so feel we would have gained a lot from it . Schools from Non P6 conferences need all opportunities that you can get to compete for talented players especially when you go against top rated schools .
Do hope that the coaches are able to sign a quality Grad Transfer ( think that is what we are talking about here in this post ) that plays the 5/4 . Some of the guys are from the East or Midwest and may not have as much information about the Aztecs as you may think . Or still hung up on going to P6 schools.

Some of the guys are from the East or Midwest and may not have as much information about the Aztecs as you may think . Or still hung up on going to P6 schools. I get the perception that you think recruits live in a bubble. They're tuned into the game nationally. They're not immune to all the press we've received. Sure, being in the dance adds pub to 68 teams; 32 heading into the 1st weekend, and 16 & 8 the second. If you advance, the more pub. But since NOBODY got any tourney pub we're actually at an advantage against many, given all the publicity we DID receive over the course of the year, where others didn't. Especially out west, where there were only 6-7 teams in the spotlight, with Gonzaga & SDSU leading the way. Not sure what you mean about Yanni's "development" not being recognized? He had that talent when he came here - every move he showed during the season he showed during the Swish league. His talent is why we recruited him. All we did it give him opportunity, which we did & which has been well documented. How many "SDSU took 3 transfers to success...." articles have you seen in the past 5 months? I'm guessing MANY, because they're out there. Recruits/other players see that stuff, and if they don't all it takes is a link from Dutch/Dave, etc. when they make contact with the kid, along with telling them their plans for next year's team. IMO that contact carries 10x the weight advancing in the dance would have had. Right now, we were considered 1 of the 10 or so teams with a legit shot at the title. Again, that carries weight. I have no worries that this staff will find the right players because they usually do. They have a great history of doing so, and they have a core moving forward that makes it even more attractive to recruits. IMO the key determinant will be Malachi's decision. If he stays, I think there are plenty who will line up to play with him. If he leaves, then there will probably be guards lining up saying they want his spot. But the best thing is we already have an outstanding recruiting class and a solid team as is. We're just patching, not repairing.

The Aztecs should be looking at this guard. Senior transfer Gardner-Webb transfer Nate Johnson, an elite shooter. Being recruited by mostly high mid majors, Maryland, Oklahoma, USC and Arizona. A 6-foot-3 guard, Johnson averaged 13.5 points, 4.7 rebounds and 1.7 steals per game this season. The redshirt junior is an elite 3-point shooter, converting 41 percent of his triples, despite taking six per game.

Not sure that's all that appealing? If they grant the 1-time transfer waiver, no doubt he'd be appealing. Not a ball handler though - just a shooter. Seems like someone in the mold of Seiko.

Nate Johnson is being recruited by Arizona , Pitt , Xavier... as a Red Shirt Junior - who should graduate this year. Is noted not only for his offense but also as a strong defender .

Your right sit one and play one would pass. I think he will be a graduate transfer and I would be in on this kid, unless we went 2 huge bigs which I would be good with.
