Probably read that Minneapolis now has ~ 24" of snow on the ground and is expecting more.
San Diego does not have any snow.

Somewhere, Stan is breaking into a cold sweat and he doesn't know why What are you talking about? Is it true, he is now looking at our program so that he can play the 2? ----Stan |

Yes it is worth chatting with him if he can get out of his commitment - did he sign ?
Correct realize he can play the 5
I would also suggest to any recruit they visit a campus during the winter to get a good picture of campus life during the winter
My wife and I are from the TC so do have cold memories of those 4 letter words -Snow - Cold - Icey -

"People close to Evans told the Star Tribune that he and his family had been thinking for a while that the Gophers might not be the right fit after watching this season," Fuller wrote, noting that Gophers are expected to grant Evans' request and release him from the letter of intent to become a Gopher that he signed in November.
Sources close to Evans confirmed to 247Sports on Friday that Minnesota will honor his request for a release and that paperwork for the release should be completed by early next week. Prior to committing to Minnesota, TCU had been the most active school in Evans recruitment while others including Kansas, Florida State and San Diego State had been involved.

worth the time to see if he has any interest in SDSU
also any update on Brady Dunlap - who has asked to leave N.D . after their HC announced he is retiring

Think the University regrets passing on our boy now? The fans seem to.

Believe Dutcher's father Jim used to be the Gopher's HC and still may live in Minnesota so maybe he or other Gopher fans could put in a good word for the Aztecs
Evans could also chat with Aztecs Ledee about TCU
If the Aztecs were able to add Brady and Dennis to go with the other 2 HS recruits would be 4 HS Freshmen
Returning Aztecs- 5 - Lamont , Micah , Elijah , Bryd , would also guess that Keshad would come back to play and work on his Masters ?
TBD -3 - Ledee ( think he would like it even better if there 2 or 3 guys that could play the 5 position so he could focus on the 4 but also be available at the 5 ) do not know he would have to be a grad transfer so he would not have to sit ? , DT- he would have to be a grad transfer or sit , Shay Johnson is he happy with his development ,
that could mean any where from 1 to 6- Transfers from the portal - depending on how many HS players the Aztecs can get and how many guys return ? So numerous choices for the players and Coaches

Wish list: Dunlap & Evans, please... I second this! throw in a 1 year Big with experience to battle with Evans and DJ every day at practice. Right now they are at 4 scholarships for next year, possibly more (Trammell, KJ, LeDee....?) |

Logically speaking evans seems like a long shot. We should and will try but his list of suitors will only grow from first time around.

would agree you take the best talent you can get - Evans and Brady D would be quality Freshmen to add
As we are mentioning - who knows about Keshad ( think he would return for both Basketball and education ) , he definitely could use the extra season similar to the way other Super Seniors have
Ledee - could be a very good player both on the boards and scoring - not sure the Aztecs could get a better player ,
DT - is a player that could be debated as to whether he best fits into the plans for next season or try getting a better taller experienced guard , have a HS guard coming in and will Bryd be a guard or SF . Think DT may need to be a grad transfer to be able to transfer
Shay Johnson - seems to fit the defensive style center the Aztecs can need - or does he want to go to a school that he will get more PT ? Especially when the Aztecs are bringing in one HS player at thee 5 and then try to get Evans ?
So if the Aztecs can add the 2 other HS recruits - bringing it up to 4 HS recruits and have the other returning players could be up to 8 players means they could only have 1 scholarship to get another Portal player
So would you try to add either Evans or Brady and what players would you try to keep ? Could be interesting puzzle for the players and coaches
Key as mentioned you try to bring in the best talent you can

Feel confident that the Aztec coaches have reached out - but if he prefers to go out of state then there is little the coaches can do and just allows one more scholarship

Plus, Keshad and LeDee? could be an active off season in the portal |

I would guess that Keshad and his family would want Keshad to be working on his Masters Degree and after watching some of the current Aztec Super Seniors that he would want to come back
Do not know the full story on Ledee on why he would want to leave other then he might want to focus on being the starter at the 4 and in addition not have to play the 5 as often . Little doubt that Ledee could be a very good player at the 4 next season - where ever he plays - also Would Ledee get to be a Grad Transfer . Replacing him would be very difficult
Brings the important question - what has the progress been for Shay Johnson - can he give the Aztecs decent minutes at the 5 next season - has been known for his defense
Aztecs have a HS recruit PF/C Heide ( sp ) what do they expect in the way of contributions from him as a true Freshman
Same for the HS guard coming in .
Does DT return or also try to leave as a grad transfer
the Portal is quite helpful but still major advantage for P5 schools - in addition it sometimes takes a player a year to get fully adjusted to the Aztec system especially the defense
So still numerous moving parts in the outlook for next season
Yes realize Dutcher likes the experienced players
The core group could be Lamont , Keshad , Micah , Elijah , Bryd , hopefully Ledee , DT now has a year under his belt but the defense has hurt him and forcing shots , Shay ?
Portal is always interesting but players have to make adjustments

Portal is always interesting but players have to make adjustments We're light on the wing, shooting, and scoring in 2023/24. Assume we're after 2-3 players in the Portal. PG: Trammell, Davis SG: Butler (CG), Byrd SF: Parrish, PF: Johnson, Saunders, Hiede C: LeDee, Johnson |
