SDSU's remaining recruiting in a nutshell: - 10 players currently on scholarship (assuming nobody enters portal in next 8-9 days which is very rare at SDSU) - AG very likely to come back, bringing that to 11. Will be the perfect 11th/12th man, given he won't demand PT but can bring an A game when needed - 2 open spots, 2 needs: 1) Center, starter or backup, although if Nate is truly weighing NBA vs. SDSU I'm sure Dutch can read the tea leaves & expects him back. If not, he's actively contacting others although no names mentioned. Past links to Anselem have come up, and his visiting Georgia (who's starting from scratch), and there are west coast kids like Kepnang still out there. 2) SG, with 3 guys appearing to the leading the chase in Reeves, Lucas & Williams. Reeves is an elite pull-up shooter & scorer with a big upside, but has holes including defensively. Lucas is a proven perimeter player & known as a good defender at 6'4 (although I've seen him take plays off frequently). Williams is an elite perimeter shooter, but shorter at 6'2. Lucas wants to play some on ball along with playing off the ball. Williams is a combo. Reeves is primarily off ball. Lucas on 3rd visit today - decision time expected in around 20 days. Forget when Reeves is visiting us, but just finished Kentucky and said he'll take his time before deciding. No clue on Williams time table, but IMO he seems like Plan B to Reeves & Lucas being Plan A. First come first served between those two. If we fill the center spot (Nate) & 2-guard (Reeves, Lucas ideally), and AG returns as expected, we're full and I'd expect Byrd to RS. Maybe even Saunders. Dutch rarely runs with more than 11 eligible players. I also think this roster is top 20 - Lunardi has us top 30-ish now w/o. Not to nit-pick but curious...Are you saying Lucas is the ideal one over both Reeves and Williams, or was that "ideally" meant for both Reeves and Lucas, for us to land either? Either/or. Should have gone with "Reeves/Lucas ideally...." Think they're both preferred over Williams, and would be happy with either. A little different games. I may lean slightly toward Lucas due to familiarity with him, but like the upside of Reeves.

If you want to completely ignore the previous years of shooting and FT% which is a big predictor of 3 point % success you can do that. You are just using selective data and the “eye test”. You can ignore the entire picture if you would like. I tend to trust Theathletic's take below which rates Reeves higher but more as a scorer than the perimeter shooter Lucas is. Lucas is at WSU and may take 2 more trips. Thus far he hasn't been blown away at either Nevada or SDSU, at least to where he'd think of committing. Lucas is looking to play some point guard this year and does believe he'd have that chance at SDSU. WSU offers that as well, as does Nevada since they're starting from scratch. Reeves got some relevant news in that the FR from Kentucky (Sharpe) is staying in the draft so 1 less 5* to compete with if he goes there. From Theathletic: 26. Antonio Reeves | 6-5 wing | senior | Illinois State If you’re looking for scoring, scoring, and more scoring, Reeves might be the perfect player for you. He averaged 20.1 points per game in the Missouri Valley this year on his way to winning second-team all-conference honors as well as the league’s Most Improved Player award. Above all, he’s a pull-up maestro, capable of getting his shot from wherever on the floor at just about any time. He finished second in the conference behind Isiaih Mosley from Missouri State in scoring, hitting pull-up jumpers at a 51.4 effective field goal percentage, a very high number given his volume of shots. Among the 227 players nationally to take at least 100 pull-up jumpers, Reeves finished 19th in his efficiency in terms of making them, per Synergy. And yet, there’s a reason he only made second-team all-league despite those numbers. The rest of his game is a real work in progress. He has a long way to go as a passer and playmaker for others, and his defense leaves something to be desired. There is some question how scalable his game is to high-major situations where he’s just a piece of the puzzle. Still, my bet is a good high-major takes a shot on him and sees if those parts of his game can improve. The scoring is lethal enough to take such an informed bet. 41. Jarod Lucas | 6-3 guard | senior | Oregon State Lucas is another tried and proven high-major floor-spacer, an absolute sniper from distance who was essentially one of the few bright spots in a disastrous Oregon State season. He averaged 13.5 points while shooting 39 percent from 3 on over six attempts per game and making 87 percent of his free throws. He’s the kind of player who makes life easier for everyone else that is out there. He’s also a pretty underrated flop artist nationally who isn’t afraid to put his body in there and take charges. He looked pretty frustrated by the end of his time in Corvallis, so this shouldn’t really come as a surprise to anyone. But any team looking for a legit shooter — and there are 100s of teams across the country looking for real shooters — should come calling. He’s from the southern California area, so it wouldn’t be a surprise to see him end up back on the West Coast. You can’t copy and paste paywall stuff. It a copyright infringement. You can put it in you words in what they say but not this.

interesting way to put it or pretty honest in Lucas's comment that he was not blown away by SDSU or Nevada / not committing on the spot so probably going to enjoy a couple more visits

Unfortunately word has Antonio Reeves committing to Kentucky today. Bummer. Really liked his upside. Hopefully we can entice Lucas to commit - he's visiting WSU this weekend (his 3rd visit overall). Not sure if he's taking more, but he's said he won't decide until around May 10th or so.

They give you a few free articles but that doesn’t mean it’s free. It’s just their subscription model…no different from most paywalled news sites (NY Times, Washington Post, etc.).

I'd be happy with any of Reeves (who hasn't officially commited yet to uk but seems like it is just a matter of time), Williams, Lucas. But as of now my preference is in the order Reeves>Williams>Lucas

Any ex-aztecs own a Ferrari dealership?

BTW, Godsgift Ezedinma, is now in the Portal. Currently playing for the University of the Incarnate Word. Truely a blessing to be picked up. Best transfer name in 2022. Sorry to say that Godsgift is not linked to the AZTECS.

BYU has lost at least 3 maybe 4 players to the Portal so they may have starting PT available
How many years does Rudi have remaining to play

New, interest in Texas GTR transfer, Courtney Ramey, 6'3 185 lb. (2021-2022 stats) PPG: 9.4 RPG: 3.5 APG: 1.8 FG%: 40% 3FG%: 35% FT: 77%

Not sure I'd say he'll be starting. They still have Wheeler who will start at PG, plus add 5* 1 & done talents Wallace & Livingston, and have CJ Fredrick returning. He could supplant 1 of them, but out of curiosity I ran BartTorvik's 2023 projections adding Reeves to their roster (& no Sharpe) & they have him getting the 8th most minutes. Obviously not scientific, but not far from the realm of possibility either. I could see him being injury insurance for CJ Fredrick, in case he has issues again. But even then it'll be tough for him to beat out Wallace, Livingston & Brooks. There's a LOT of 6'3-6'7 talent on that team & they're far from done with the portal. I'm sure he'll play, but I'm not sure he's getting more than 10-15 minutes a game? But I'll never blame a kid for wanting to play for a blue blood or at Kentucky or for a team with visions of a natty now that Oscar's returning. It just comes down to priorities & what he values most. If PT & having a bigger role, then Kentucky may not be for him. If it's winning/national picture/history, then heck yes. I get it.

Ramey would be INCREDIBLE! Would take him in a heartbeat. He's a career 37% shooter from deep, and can play a bunch of positions. Very rounded & experienced player. In fact, he's #1 on my board as of today! : ) Looks like a long list of potential suiters and not sure if we have any history or traction with him, given he's from the midwest, but damn that'd be a great add. Only downside is that given they're reaching out to more they may not feel comfortable with any currently on the list. But this would be an upgrade...
