Would think Dutcher could tell it to Frank pretty honestly . Aztecs have Nathan coming back for his third season . We hope he comes back at full strength but we are waiting to see how he is able to perform - with his recent medical condition . He has had injuries the past two seasons . Even when he was healthy he only played about 20 minutes a game
. Aztecs have signed a grad transfer that last season who played very minimally last season . Stats being about a point a game and even less on rebounding . Joshua would also not mind playing the 4 position - Frank could also .
Frank would come in and battle for a position in the rotation either at the 5 or 4 position . Nathan in his first season had a slow start but worked his way into the starting line up . After the fall practices and full use of the JAM center .( Same facility K. Leonard uses during the off season. ) Frank could choose if he preferred to stay on the active squad or red shirt . His decision . Aztecs also had a very successful development program for Yanni last year and Jalen the year before he left for the NBA
Think Frank could be a very valuable player for the Aztecs moving forward .

Redshirting may be a smart move - it worked for Jalen McD. Anselem is a 2021 recruit who reclassified to 2020, so I suspect he's young for his class. And the write-ups I've seen say his offensive game is raw. At this point in late May it seems the kid just needs to make a decision on where he wants to go. BTW, SDSU brought in five new players for 2020, and will have another five open scholies (and maybe more?) in 2021. That's some huge turnover.That's more the norm these days than the exception unfortunately. With the goal being to "stay old", you tend to lean on grad transfers, plus the normal attrition via graduation. We replaced 4 from the 2019 team going into 2020 & that turned out just fine. If the transfer rule changes for 2022 it may only get worse. The decision to RS is up to the player, and while it may make sense for many it doesn't appear to sound like what Anselem has expressed interest in doing given his recent quotes. He could definitely use it, as a raw big, but convincing him of that while others may be telling him he'd play minutes immediately is a very, very tough sell. The downside of RS McDaniels is we only got 2 years out of him, so not sure I'd use him as an argument for redshirting. Other than not taking away PT from other guys, which can be helpful in itself, the only time it really pays off for the team is when they stick around for the 5th year. If you read Ziegler’s most recent article you can actually tell this is partially by design and the coaches think there is a good shot the 1st time transfer rule passes with no sit for next year. I’m sure that’s not the only reason and Dutcher does like experienced teams but it plays a role. |

I’m sure that’s not the only reason and Dutcher does like experienced teams but it plays a role. I think the main motivation, as it was last year, was to have a more experienced team so they don't have a slow start out of the gate. He learned his lesson after the '19 team got off to a slow start with an inexperienced roster. 6 out of 9 were underclassmen, which I doubt ever happens again. I think Dutch prefers to have 9+ experienced players available rather than needing to rely on FR. The 2nd part is as you said. They needed a G and Post they KNEW could play this year and didn't want to gamble on the rule change passing (& got it right). Had we got a Morgan and Stephenson instead of Gomez and Tomaic we would have sacrificed '21 for '22. Next year they may gamble that it'll pass which will make it easier to fill those 5 spots. |

The rumor I heard was that Anselem was positive on SDSU, but we brought in Joshua Tomaić as GTR which limited his potential PT behind Nate & Tomaić making Syracuse his #1 choice. Dutch would hold the last scholarship for a transfer who would have to sit a year before they could play; giving SDSU 12 players and a 9-10 man rotation. Cade Alger is the insurance policy.

Stan, when is Dutcher going to bring you on to help recruit? NCAA rules only allow for 1 Head Coach and 3 Assistants who are allowed to communicate to kids about the program. Otherwise you have unlimited contractors to recruit. I'm pretty sure that's how it works.

Alger would be more like life support or hospice than insurance. We'd see AG and Keshad at center before him IMO. PS. Re: Anselem, given the transfer rule didn't change and the stud transfer Kentucky got will most likely not be eligible, and thus won't go there, it wouldn't surprise me if Kentucky is back in the mix. |

Hospice - I LOLed. In a way, if we were to miss on Anselem, Kentucky might be the best scenario. If he gets recruited over (likely), then he'd be a transfer candidate and since we were high on his list the first time...well, it almost worked that way with Marcus Lee. |

Have no clue what the conversations were between Frank and the coaches before we signed Joshua . Or what they are now . But if there is still a good chance that he would sign here would stay in close communication with him .
of course his call on if he should sign with someone this year - expecting it to work out or even that the No Sit Transfer rule go into affect after his first season . Or do another year of Prep School and then go into the 2021 classification again .

For a guy who hinted at making his decision soon, even by mid-May, it sure is starting to look like he may be waiting on the NBA draft withdrawals. Smart move - best to have all the information, but not sure if that's a good sign for us?

as you said smart move to see what happens with guys on the bubble if they are going to NBA or coming back to their schools - final date has not been set - we also know that the No Sit Rule will not be in affect for for the guys for 2020-21 season but not sure if some guys could get waiver to play ( The player Kentucky got )
Also important to see what kind of guards each team will have that can get him the ball
He could also decide to go to a Prep School for the 2020-21 season but then the No Sit rule could happen for 2021-22 season
Do think it is important that if the Aztecs are told they are one of the main contenders they stay in the hunt - not easy getting a guy that wants to play down low .

Latest from Rivals.com, but no real "new" news. He’s in regular contact with all the coaching staffs. Look for a decision to come from him at some point during June, per Eric Bossi.

UCLA 's regular transfer just got a waiver to play in 2020 so would guess that Kentucky 's transfer will get one also - so that could put them out of the chase for Frank .
Things could get very interesting if the NCAA is more lenient about letting regular transfers play in 2020 - or at least those who apply before say end of May 2020 ?

2. Arkansas: “I did a zoom call with them a couple weeks back. We talk every few days. It’s in the SEC and it’s the head coach. Eric Musselman is really good and has a really good track record. He’s going to do big things there.” 3. Seton Hall: “I talk to Coach [Tony] Skinn all the time. He’s Nigerian too and also they have Ikey Obiagu too. We went to the same school when I got here, so we have a good relationship.” 4. Syracuse: “They call me almost every day. I talk to Coach Red [Autry] all the time. Me and Coach Red go way back to like 2017. He’s been recruiting me for a while now." 5. Western Kentucky: “They talk to me like every morning too. Charles Bassey is Nigerian too and he reached out to me about coming to play with him.” |

Tonight is a great time for Frank Anselem to announce he's going to SDSU and singlehandedly stop all the rioting.

Won't have to wait much longer...also seems like his final 4 has changed. Only SDSU and Syracuse are the same as in the prior article -- that seems like a good sign although Syracuse will be tough to beat.
