Coug appreciate your update about Heide and think he would be very helpful at the 5 - do the coaches think Shay Johnson could help the team - even as primarily a defender at the 5 Also agree that this is where communication comes in with the staff about where Ledee would prefer to play - so the Aztecs can keep him - as I remember Aztecs lost a PF to either ASU or Arizona because he did not want to play the 5 - he wanted to showcase his skills for the NBA and did not want to play the 5 - so he left and played his final season there would guess that Ledee would want to play more at the 4 Elijah hopefully will be in the mix also As for Evans yes a learning curve - so the coaches could at least ask then move on if he says not at this time It was Zylan Cheatham to ASU. He made 1st-team all PAC12 and on the all-defensive team too. From 2019-2023 he played on different G-League teams and over that time got into 2 NBA games. He just signed with Bayern Munich, a team in the top German League for the remainder of their season. He should have played the 4 here.

Good to know, perhaps I can catch a game with him here in Munich. Of course with Aztec gear 😉

correct it was Zylan and think part of his thoughts were he did not want to be playing the 5 when he had no intensions of playing that in the Pros
Aztecs also had Malik Pope having to play the 5 or 4 when his skills seemed more fitted to play the 3 - he did stay at SDSU and not sure where he might be playing now
It is not always that easy getting a high quality player at the 5 position as it is for getting guys that might play the 1-4 positions

Seems hard for us to get them? Yes, I know Spencer n Mensah but, they were/are offensively challenged.

We know how that went but there was no way he would have stayed to play more 5.

Definitely the type of player who over time became a quality power forward for us, learning how to use his length inside and around the rim for easy buckets and complimenting that with some midrange and 3 point shots.

Hopefully Shay can contribute as a rim protector next year. LeDee at the 5 could lead to both an increase in offense as well as a dropoff on defense. I'm not sure if it would cause us to change our scheme, but it might cause our guards to be slightly less aggressive with on ball pressure when LeDee is at the 5. Heide might become a 5 once he adds muscle to his frame, but next year there's no chance he will be playing the 5. If he can add muscle he could be incredible in the pick and roll as a 5 in a couple of years.

Evans committed to Louisville who were 4-28 (2-18 in the ACC), UMN was 9-22 (2-17 in the B1G)- I assume the NIL $$ are the difference. Both teams sucked this year

Hope thing work out for him but it looks like he traded away the chance to enjoy the full College BB March Madness experience ( something you can't buy) for some spending $.

Should the Aztecs offer his pal Henley?

I can only imagine how much NIL $ those desperate Louisville supporters are ponying up to turn around their terrible team ASAP.

Should the Aztecs offer his pal Henley? Aztecs offered Henley as a HS senior. His top two schools were UMN & SDSU. He went to UNM. Played 31 games, started 18 freshman year, palyed 21 minutes a game, 5.3 PPG, 2.2 RPG 38% FGA, 38% 3-FGA% & 63& FT%. Henley wouldn't have seen much of the floor at SDSU this year, but next year is a new year!

Believe that HS commits are not bound until they sign LOI when that opens up in maybe April
The Freshman guard from Minnesota would be considered a player that could have some upside for the next 3 years - but would guess the Aztecs might want Brady Dunlap HS recruit even more
