When is the transfer portal expected to be for this upcoming season ? - take it for most after the regular season and or If they make it to MM ? Although there are some guys that bail on their team early .
It seems that Dutcher and the staff have decent communication with their players so there are not that many surprises . The staff did a fantastic job of knowing that Matt B was going to leave CAL and were right on it when he entered the Transfer Pool

Byrd took an unofficial to his hometown campus Pacific today. I saw him, they were showing him the business school… I thought about stopping him to tell him that SDSU is his school… but I thought better of it. |

They do always jump on players the second they enter the portal which is a very good thing. |

Did hear Dutcher say on the radio after Last season - that the staff does prepare a list of guys that they think maybe thinking of entering the transfer pool - guys that the Aztecs would want - Then when it did happen they reacted quickly - got in touch with Matt B and did what they could to make it happen - They were proactive rather then be reactive . So a great deal of credit to the staff . there were a few guys that did come to Schools in the West but most feel the Aztecs got the best one they could . Think MATT B was rated one of the top 10 transfers .
Also did comment that the Coaches do have good communication with their guys - so they may know who may leave early , or guys that could leave but decide to come back for the additional " Covid Rule " although things do change as the season goes on . It does help when the coaches are recruiting for 2022 and beyond
Is there an official date you can enter or have to enter the transfer portal ?

When the season ends I'm sure they'll sit down with every player, like always, and my bet is 1 of those guys may be encouraged to leave, but we'll see. The coaches get texts when a player enters the portal. They always reach out to anyone they have any interest in, even if just preliminary while they do their research, and since they recruited Matt back when he was in HS it was an easy thing to do. They weren't being "proactive". You can only be "reactive" when it comes to the portal, and they reacted to a player they were already familiar with from way back, including when we faced him in 2019. |

Was only repeating what Dutcher said on the radio . The coaches make a list of players they think that may enter the transfer portal from other schools - Then when Matt 's name hit the transfer portal they reached out to see if he was interested . He was and the Coaches met with him and made it happen , as quickly as possible .
Little doubt Matt B will be a starter at the 2 or 3 position - . So three starters Trey at PG (quite important- fifth year player / 3 in the SDSU system ) Nathan ( 4th year player in the system ) at the 5 they also played together on their Swish team this summer . Then the coaches decide after fall practices who the other two starters will be at the 2 , or 3 or 4 positions . But as we all know not always important who starts but who is there at crunch time .

any reports on which Aztec Coaches are going to be there ? Assume JayDee Luster may be one, since he coached at UOP with Miles Byrd father who was a AHC for the last 10 seasons. Also, we have some coaches hitting the road to Compass Prep tomorrow in AZ, to watch additional Aztec recruit(s) |

I'd expect the same after this year, or at least go somewhere he's more likely to get PT. |

Do we know who it is among? Based on the Sept 1st article Gundo quoted on page 2, you'd have to think Pacific (dad is AC), CSU, UW, & Minnesota, assuming he actually took trips to the latter 2. Plus Santa Clara, since he tripped there back in June. Minnesota was supposed to be his last trip (25th) - haven't checked anywhere to see if he actually went. Usually you want to be either 1st or last on the trips. We were neither, but with JayDee having such a good connection with him that may tip the scales. IMO he's the 3rd priority of the 3, but would definitely be a solid get! From SDUT-9/1/2021
Byrd, a 6-7 lefty from Lincoln High in Stockton, has gone from no Division I offers at this time last year to interest from the Pac-12 and Big Ten (and a four-star rating from 247Sports) once coaches realized that he’s two years younger than many seniors. He doesn’t turn 17 until October. Translation: high ceiling. New SDSU assistant coach JayDee Luster, who replaced Jay Morris last week, knows Byrd well. Luster coached with his father, Calvin, at Pacific and was their neighbor in Stockton. Byrd visited Colorado State earlier this month and has trips planned to Washington and Minnesota later in September. Villanova, where his father played in the early 1990s, has shown interest but not offered. |
