Thanks for the info. It also shows that there are some other pretty good schools that are being selective, taking their time and figuring it all out.This has to be a challenging time for Coaches and I trust ours.

This kinda jumps out at me. Hard to believe its 11/2/2020 and our number is still zero. And that's an incomplete list. How many just have 1? Add MANY more. There's little to no difference between having 0 & 1, and this is an odd year for recruiting. It's not a big deal.

Assume that some could possibly use the additional year and grad transfer out; Pullman, Mitchell, Schakel I’d be very shocked if either Schakel/Mitchell were playing college basketball next year. I see no reason to worry about those guys transferring out too. I think Mitchell will go pro even if he doesn't get drafted by the NBA. Schakel I'm not sure about. His mother is an assistant professor at USC so he may value the education factor a bit more than most other players.

Although the Aztecs have ZERO recruits, they still have added two new players; which may be better than having raw recruits.

My uneducated opinion, is if Schakel has a good year BUT staying another year to be "the man" and have national attention.. then he could return. Otherwise, if he is going to have the same international opportunities after this year, then why come back to SDSU again next year?
That said, I would love to see next year's team with... 1 - Seiko/Butler 2 - Gomez*/Dinwiddie 3 - Schakel*/Evans 4 - Arop/Johnson 5 - Mensah/Tomaic*

a very different year - with COVID , new extra year for players if they want for 2021 , new no sit transfer rule all factors that have changed recruiting .
Know some do not want to accept it but we did not get the bounce we could have with our successful season that a good run in MM would have made with the extra exposure on National TV . Recruits getting to watch our team play and win sure would have helped . Dutcher got some awards but do not think he was named the Coach of the Year in a few of the polls . Also our successful transfers did not get as much notice as they would have gotten from MM . Malachi could have moved even higher up the draft boards . In addition the late NBA draft also hurt our recruiting .
We had a great season but for most NON P6 schools it is MM that gives them a bigger opportunity when recruiting for the next season . Yes other schools had similar situation but my concern is the Aztecs recruiting . It also took the Zags a few successful seasons to move up on the recruiting level
Our coaches did a great job last year but there are numerous things that affected their recruiting for the 2021-22 season .
Key replacement will be for Matt and maybe Jordan or Gomez or help at the 4/5 - but do think we could have players on the squad that could step up . or the Coaches will be able to find guys to help us reload -
Do guess it will take a few more successful seasons seasons by the Aztecs to get to the level the Zags are at

4-star PG TyTy Washington named SDSU still among his top schools, 35+ offers. Aztecs, Creighton and Illinois named as the schools he talks with most.

For those freaking out about us not having any commits, here's an article on the early signing period. It's behind the ESPN firewall, but point #1 is pretty valid: Four storylines to watch: 1. Is anyone committing? Last year, there were several ESPN 100 prospects expected to commit around the early signing period, including three five-star prospects. There won't be the same type of pop this year. As of now, there's an expectation that perhaps only three ESPN 100 prospects will decide, with zero five-star prospects among them. We'll dive in deeper a little later in the column. This is an odd year. Relax. PS. Their crystal ball on Washington has him 60% to Illinois www.espn.com/mens-college-basketball/insider/story/_/id/30285684/what-expect-men-college-basketball-early-signing-period

Would be a great get at 6'4 190 and a strong, scoring point guard.

Would be a great get at 6'4 190 and a strong, scoring point guard. Per Zeigler today: "The Aztecs are known to be a finalist for TyTy Washington, a 6-3 guard from Compass Prep in Phoenix who is rated a four-star prospect by some recruiting services. Washington listed SDSU among 10 finalists over the summer and more recently indicated that it’s down to the Aztecs, Illinois and Creighton. He is expected to announce a decision Sunday."

With D Johnson committing, and Dutch saying he'll most likely only take 2 kids, we're exactly where we should be. Especially with many not signing during the early period. Washington would be a nice add, but not critical. If we do, that would mean we'd get 2 of our top targets, despite everyone freaking out.

looks as though Gundo had listed top recruiting targets for Dutcher with D. Johnson and on that list

How many scholarships do we have to give this year?

How many scholarships do we have to give this year? If I'm reading the rules right now we have 5, as of this moment we have Che Evans Keith Dinwiddie Lamont Butler Keshad Johnson Aguek Arop Nathan Mensah Adam Seiko Demarshay Johnson Under scholarship for next year and I believe any senior that comes back to school won't count against the scholarship limit. That being said, we know by now how Dutcher operates, he's not going to have 15+ scholarship players on the team next year. So the math gets fuzzy without knowing which if any of the seniors will comeback. Keep in mind that after this year the scholarship limit goes back to 13, so you are taking away from potential 2022 scholarships if you are taking in another freshman or a 2+ years left transfer. It's possible that Dutcher will try to get a transfer or 2 willing to redshirt a year (remember the new immediate eligibility rule). TLTR: It's complicated

It’s a shame last year’s team didn’t get an opportunity to play in the NCAA’s. The one thing that’s missing in the program’s legacy is a deep tournament run, like a Final Four or Championship appearance. If Coach Dutcher can manage a couple of these kind of runs, the program has the chance to turn the corner into blue blood territory. Of all the MW teams, only UNLV has that in their background, if the Aztecs can break through with a memorable run, they will be able to recruit with the big boys. JMO, but I am not sure that's where I want MY Aztec MBB to go! Dutch has been consistent in saying he wants to be "old". And the program will always be defensively minded as long as Dutch (and/or Velasquez) are running it. It's kind of hard to get 5 star, and even some 4 star recruits, who are the scoring machines on their HS/AAU teams, to buy into that mentality. I watch a program like Kentucky this year with how young they are. They are stacked with highly rated recruits, but it's almost painful to watch them trying to blend and figure things out, and they have struggled thus far. I don't know, I kind of like the way Dutch is currently doing things. Get some good 3 star guys who are willing to work their asses off and grind on defense, and then looks for the Grad transfers that immediately make your roster older. Seems to be working pretty good right now.

Say a very good player has decided to transfer, but, is recuperating from an injury. A red-shirt year to learn the Aztec system might be just what the Doctor ordered for such a player. Especially if he wants to join a winning team and likes to play defense with other players that take pride in playing D.
Anybody out there listening??
