With today's signing of 6'4" shooting guard Taj DeGourville from Las Vegas, I am pretty sure that this takes Jace Richardson off the board for the Aztecs. No way. He can still come here if he wants to. Taj's commitment is a verbal one, it's not even close to November, and if Jase decides to come here... you know we are losing Butler and Trammell after this season. Taj is long enough to play the 2, Byrd is long enough to play the 3, so I'm not so sure - I think Jase still can come here is he wants to. Certainly it's not ideal in that it would weight our guards as all being very young for next year, in that sense a grad transfer makes more sense, but idk if you can pass up on talent like Jase.

Last month, Richardson narrowed his list of colleges down to eight: Alabama, Arkansas, Cincinnati, Michigan State, San Diego State, Stanford, USC, and Virginia.
Of those eight, he says four are prioritizing him.
“I would say Cincinnati, Alabama, Michigan State, and Stanford are the main four pushing really hard,” Richardson says.

I'll be shocked if he doesn't go to Michigan State, or maybe Alabama as a dark horse.

I'll be shocked if he doesn't go to Michigan State, or maybe Alabama as a dark horse. He was theirs to lose 6+ months ago. IMO only 3 things keep him from going there: 1) Izzo retires, 2) they recruit over him, or 3) at the last minute he decides he doesn't want to follow in pops footsteps. But according to the coach of BG he was all but formally committed to MSU as of last December. Can't blame him for shopping his services though, and taking as many trips as possible.

The LV pipeline began with Billy White... will it continue with Taj AND Jase?

We aren’t getting jase and a guy very involved in the aau hoops scene thinks he’s quite overrated.

I am in the same camp but will continue to post and follow through the end of recruitment for closure. We've all invested time and info. Once we picked up Taj, who may be more versatile but a lesser scorer, I figured both Richardson and Mikey Lewis will go elsewhere, and the Aztecs will focus on front-court players, postmen specifically.

Yeah, both of them probably go elsewhere. Still I'd love to get either, both are really talented.

It’s at least nice to get mentioned with all of those other Blue Bloods. The March madness run will be paying off for us in so many ways we hadn’t anticipated.

Thanks Gundo. Really appreciate all of your updates on our potential recruits. Do you know if Jase took an "unofficial" visit to SDSU ? Do we ever land a kid that hasn't made a visit ?

Most have it as just 2 - Bama & Mich St. IMO he's been MSU's to lose since he was a soph.

I think there will be more kids that have us on their lists because of the National Championship game but I still think we'll mostly always lose out to the P5 and NIL$. Hate to ay it but I don't see that going away soon.

Yeah NIL $ doesn't matter as much when your Dad played in the NBA and has $$.
