As many are suggesting we could be done recruiting But if he has 3 years remaining could be an interesting addition - as Dutcher has said it is quite difficult to get quality guys that play well down low He has 1 year remaining. He's played a total of 2 games against "A" (top 50) teams and 6 more vs. "B" (51-100) teams. His eFG% in those games is sub 42% and he's not done well in those games overall. This would be a BIG leap for him. Against UNLV 2 years ago (2020) he went for 11,3 & 1 with 2 TO's & 4 fouls, and that's coming off the bench & playing against the likes of Vitaly Shibel. His only quality game against quality comp was back in November, 2019 (11, 6 & 2 against Marquette). I think we have a few guys on this roster if put on a really bad team in a really bad league would do really well, like Bramah. Props on digging into the data here.

Did not realize he originally played in a JC - so would only have 1 year to play

Did not realize he originally played in a JC - so would only have 1 year to play He may land in Reno, NV. as an undersized 4, since they have guys who can play the 2/3 wing. Plus, he is a Bay Area guy. I think the Aztecs are set at the 3/4 positions. Thoughts?

Someone posted that we are not in the mix but Brahma would have elevated us to a top 10 rather than top 25 (unless our roster exceeds expectations).

Diabate is very much an effective post player - that's his game, and I'm sure Tomiac will improve in that area as well. AG is good in the post as well when healthy - great footwork. Bradley can also post his guy inside, much like Mitchell this past season. We have plenty of options. You also risk losing a player if you sign Bramah, and Bramah is very much unproven against decent competition.

Nevada was the runner up his first go-round in the portal. No surprise. Damn they will be really good.

Alford stacked the Wolf Pack and they are back. Not sure they're "stacked"? They basically traded Wade (Wichita St SR who's faced a higher tier of comp) and Patterson (top 50 recruit from Oregon who was already on the team) for Blackshear and Bramah. Not sure they're any better this week than last week and may be worse?

Not sure how Steve A does it but there seems to be a very steady influx of quality transfers to UNR. Eric M started the process and SA seems to have successfully continued it. They look really strong to me. CSU just picked up a 6'2" guard who was DII player of the year who decommitted from Texas Tech. New Mexico has 8 new players, including 6 transfers. On the surface it looks like there's some talent and potential there. It remains to be seen how good of a coach Pitino is but it'd be impossible to be worse than they were last year. UNLV has the same situation they seem to have had the last couple years: lots of big name preps and transfers who mostly abandon the program within a couple years. To be fair, that may be in part to losing two coached is a short period of time. Hope we face UNM and UNLV earlier in the conference season before they jell as a team(assuming they do).

Little doubt the Aztecs lost the most in offensive production among the MW schools , Matt , Jordan , T Go but have added Bradley most feel as the best New Addition to the MW , plus some other transfers and hopefully development of other guys who are coming back - will the "P" word be there for Che, Keshad , KD , Lamont ...? Even Nathan does he finally have a break out season ? Although he should have additional help down low with Josh and the transfer from Portland, AG IF healthy and even Keshad ? . So looks as though Aztecs will be stronger down low this season compared to last
Nevada does have numerous guys back - especially the all important high quality guard play . were looking very strong then did lose some guys this week - then added others . including Brahma who is strong near the basket . Alford can recruit and coach
CSU did not lose anyone and has added some additional players. So have the team work and Roddy and a high quality guard to be highly rated
USU also lost some key players - has done some "trades " with Utah ( including their former HC ) so how good are they going to be ? Q USU 's 5 was a very good player on both ends of the court .
BSU did lose their top player but had others stay so ?
Fresno did add a quality transfer or 2
UNLV , Lobos , have added numerous guys of talent - also have new coaches - do they play together as a quality unit or is it more a team of individuals

It will make our domination of them even sweeter........
