Zeigler usually has the inside story

Dinwiddie can outright score. (Listed between 6'2" to 6'4") Now looking for the 6'7" Che Evans to commit this week and the 6'9" Coleman Hawkins in the near future!

Yep, would be very odd to also see a Taitz commit now. I have no inside knowledge and don’t know who it would be, but I wouldn’t be surprised if we lost someone to transfer at some point, Guard or otherwise. If we have all those guards, Seiko seems like a possibility, but 1) he red-shirted already and 2) a lot of folks thought Narain would transfer and that never happened. I guess Joel Mensah could be another option if he's not developing as hoped and he wants more PT. However, it seems that we are high on Che, Dowuona, and Hawkins. We only have a spot for 2 of the 3 so be interesting to see what happens. Since Seiko redshirted maybe he could grad transfer if it was the case. But I don't want to get ahead of ourselves. We did that this summer with Sueing and Baker |

Seiko is a real good defender and will always find minutes to shut down our opponents’ scoring guards.

I like that he has previously played with Lamont Butler & Keshad Johnson and clearly wants to be on a team with both of them. Speaks well for chemistry and playing style!
Welcome aboard, Keith Dinwiddie. Become another Fairfax player to star @ SDSU.

Have seen reports listing Keith at 6'1" or 6'2" have not seen any listing him at 6'4"
we should have 5 scholarship guards for 2020 - but that drops to 3 for 2021 ( that includes Seiko ) do wonder how many guards will sign up for the team in
2021 knowing we could have the guards there for a few years - things and players do change
did notice that a freshman guard is coming to Keith's HS this year that is supposed to be very good -

It isn't. It is absolutely normal. New recruits aren't particularly worried about unheralded bench warmers. Having open slots hasn't helped fill the roster in the past as we've continued to have scholarships go unused. |

I'm really happy that the two recruited guards seem to compliment each other. The only thing that worries me is that at 6'2" (and we're never sure of heights) and taking his jumper from in front of his head instead of above it, I worry about him being defended by taller opponents. His shot release didn't appear to be especially quick but I'm sure he'll work on things like that. I miss having an outside shooter that we can count on. Really anxious to see how Malachi does.

It's similar to Steph curry's form the way they gather the ball right in front of their head I noticed. Not saying he's Steph, but if he's crafty it shouldn't be an issue IMO. I'd be more worried about him defensively guarding 6'5 two guards |

His shot release didn't appear to be especially quick but I'm sure he'll work on things like that. I miss having an outside shooter that we can count on. Really anxious to see how Malachi does. Devon Watson (6'1") shot more than twice as many threes as a senior than did Trey Kell (6'4") and he was more accurate by 10%. As a senior he took 6.9 3pt shots a game making over 38% of them. As an Aztec, he averaged 5.4 per game and .384. Xavier (6'3") averaged 4.5 and .374 as a senior. Brandon Heath (6'4") averaged .352 on 6.4 tries. As a junior, he hit .408 on 7.3 shots. 14 years ago, John Sharper (6'0") shot .420 on 5.7 attempts. 7 years ago, Tapley (6'3") finished a career in which he averaged .395 on 4.2 attempts. It seems to me that Watson was as good an outside shooter as we've had. He is of diminutive stature as have been many of our best outside shooters. |

I'd prefer to see a team that doesn't live or die on the 3 pointer. Xavier, Kell and Heath were not just an outside threat. |

We had an outside shooter. We didn't have guards who could effectively initiate in the pick and roll. Neither guard was particularly good going to basket. If Watson wasn't fouled we were in trouble. And when Kell was off (or hurt) we were in trouble. |

any one have his stats last year
Keith also said the freshman guard he will be playing with this year in HS- Dior Johnson is "silky smooth" - would be worth taking a good look at

What I like about both Dinwiddie and Evans is that they can attack the basket and are not just an outside threat. I do agree with what you say about not being able to institute the pick and roll, though Dutcher said that earlier this year. The guards we will have next year, all three new ones, can play that type of offense. You still need guys to knock down the 3 and we should have more than just one the next few years who is adept at that. |
