San Diego has a thriving community from South Sudan to provide support. I doubt thats true for Lubbock, TX or SLC Utah.

Nothing to report yet, I just got tired of coming here a couple times a day to see if anything has happened. Is it November yet?

Clearly the 24 hour thing was a false alarm...now he may commit this week.

Believe Zeigler had written it last week , that of the three recruits Gach, Change , and Osborne, Both would likely make the earliest decision , with no definitive date .
Do hope the Aztec coaches and players are working it to get him to sign here .

Do hope the Aztec coaches and players are working it to get him to sign here . I'm always curious of how it works behind the scenes. For example, the coaches may want both Chang and Gach, but maybe they feel like with Arop already signed that they don't want that many freshmen in a a class and just want to get 1 of the 2. Does Gach have an offer that's dependent on if Chang commits (or vice versa)? Do recruits know where they stand in the pecking order?

Seems like we really need an outsider shooter for β19-β20 season... since Watson, and Hemsley gone after this year, we will only have Flynn - PG, Seiko - Combo G and maybe Schakel - SG/SF. An incoming freshman would be good so they are useful for β19-β20.
Maybe keep 13th schollie open for solid post grad transfer this year, or mid-year transfer.

He shot 39% in conference play as a FR. Add Mitchell to the list of shooters in '20 as well, so we'll have 3 proven perimeter shooters, and another (Seiko) who could prove to be pretty good. That's a very solid core. Narain may end up being 1 of the best perimeter centers we've had, and I think J Mensah could evolve into a terrific stretch 4. You can never have enough perimeter players, but given it's 2 years away I think we're sitting pretty good.

At least he lit us up in The Wooden Legacy. I think Gach is better from the outside vs Chang and he is the guy that that staff is looking to sign.

Which of those guys are good enough defending the perimeter to stop the break downs on defense? I heard Seiko can. Mitchell doesn't seem to have quick enough feet. Schakel seems to the have the effort.

Most reports have Adam S , AG , Both Gach , Ed C , plus Matt M ( if he loses a few lbs ). all having the quickness to play D . Major question is do they buy in to play D ). Would guess especialy newer guys when told from day 1 that it could earn them more PT will do it

Which of those guys are good enough defending the perimeter to stop the break downs on defense? I heard Seiko can. Mitchell doesn't seem to have quick enough feet. Schakel seems to the have the effort. For one, Hemsley. He was arguably our best on ball/screen defender last year & will only mature into more of a stopper around the perimeter. Watson, who was a TERRIBLE defender early, should improve as well with another year and be less of a liability. Mitchell, Schakel (& McD) were FR; they'll be much improved as defenders next year (they were later in the year). Mitchell's goal is to lose weight & be quicker, and he has the court savvy that should make him a decent if not strong defender if he is in better shape than he was last year. Schakel should get stronger, and hopefully won't wear down. He was solid early in the year for a FR (remember him on Maten?). McD, if he returns, will be stronger - much IMO. Seiko, while a rookie, was ahead of all of them defensively IMO last year. Assuming he stays healthy he'll be good once he adjusts to the speed of the live college game. Arop is long, athletic & should become an excellent defender over time. A 7'1 wingspan and a high BBIQ will go a long ways to expediting the learning curve. I also think N Mensah is ahead of the curve defensively for a FR; he's solid physically. We may not be able to replace a Kell, or DA before him, but I also believe we'll have fewer guys like Mitchell/Schakel/McD as freshmen needing to step in, and should evolve earlier in the year. Especially if McD returns. Arop could be a DA eventually (probably not this year), and Schakel could be a Kell defensively (same with Mitchell). We have some very solid athletes. If McD leaves the concern will be size/strength/experience inside, so hopefully we can find a solid defender via the Grad transfer market. If McD returns, I love this team.

I thought Mitchell's defense was pretty good for a freshman. He does look to give good effort and he plays with an attitude. As you say, though, quickness is an issue for him. If he can improve that I expect him to a very solid defender.
