It’s just seems Bandaogo would follow his former coach to Cal. Maybe I’m wrong.

Cal signed Aimaq, who played for Madsen at Utah Valley and was the starting 5 before Aziz. Not sure they can coexist this year but you never know? If he has to sit I agree it would only make sense to follow Madsen. But then again, it's Cal. It's not like they're making the dance in the next couple years.

He wouldn't be in the portal if we weren't interested in him. The coaching staff was aware he was thinking of going into the portal long before he did. If he wasn't a college kid, where they all can flip decisions overnight, it'd be a slam dunk. As is, it's extremely likely. He really doesn't even need to visit, other than to further talk roles, but I'm sure he will. Everyone here knew, since it was blatantly obvious, that Washington wanted to come here last year but when the staff pretty much knew Nate was returning in mid-April they let Washington know & he had to move on. This time there isn't that problem, other than Allick who was their #1 target as of last Sunday. Unfortunately I think the fact they gave WW the thumbs up means they're getting less of a vibe from Allick than they were getting last weekend. I find it hard to believe we'd get both. You'd have 80 minutes for 3 guys - Ledee, Allick & Washington, all seeking to play 25-30+, AND the staff wants to give Saunders & Shay minutes. And none of them are part-time players like AG. If all 3 are willing to sacrifice, 2 coming here vs. other places they'd get 30+ minutes, then I'll be pleasantly surprised. We'll know more by Sunday, when Allick is supposedly making a decision. Whether WW is added before (or after) is TBD. Everyone knew about Washington? I said it last year and you literally denied it and said it was a rumor. Then told you to get betters insiders. Yes every one knew. There were multiple articles in the UT about it. And no, you weren't the only (or even first) to mention him. There were several people on here hoping Mensah would have gone pro so Washington could have committed, even if that was a dumb thing to say.

I don't see Sanders redshirting. I see him possibly starting. He's got a ton of upside, the guy can play basketball. He is the main reasons KJ leaving isn't a huge loss. Hope we get Washington because that is the type of player we are missing. Another player with elite defense that can guard the other teams best player would be good too. Saunders has huge upside and he has a red-shirt available. would you want Allick or Saunders next year? (if you has to make that decision) If you have a chance to land Allick and Washington you do it, next years rotation of Allick, Washington and LeDee would make for another outstanding team right from the start with depth at every position. The hard part is keeping players happy with a limited number of minutes and a pretty deep team. ----- The following year's team would still have a good core Saunders Waters Davis Heide DJ Brown (big dream) There is ZERO chance Saunders RS's next year. NONE. He's going to be in the rotation to some degree (top 9), which is why I think getting just 1 more "big" for this year is all they do (unless the other RS's or is a player likely to take on a minor role - and that's not WW/Allick). If we get both and still find minutes for Saunders & Ledee then Dutch is clearly a miracle worker.

If Mensah didn’t come back Washington would be here now. You said. No guarantee Washington is here if not Mensah. I said, get better insiders. You need to have better insiders. Washington wanted to come here. You said. He was rumored to want to come here. There was never anything definitive. I've said I though he would but there is no way to know for sure. Again, I said get better insiders. He wanted to come here. You want to retract your last statement about everyone knew. Clearly you didn’t know. Lol.

If you want to believe you knew what nobody else did knock yourself out. Whatever makes you feel validated, since you apparently need that. There was never any guarantee if him coming here because Nate was a done deal returning before WW made is final decision. He definitely had us on his short list, which implies he wanted to come here to some degree by default. But since it was never an option...we'll never know.

Cool, you in denial mode again, when you get call out. Lol. You have no insiders. Just admitted it, you were wrong.

It just seems Bandaogo would follow his former coach to Cal. Maybe I’m wrong. Please note that CAL has already signed one of the premier Centers in the Portal, Fardaws Aimaq. His previous school is Texas Tech but he played only 11 games (nine starts) for Texas Tech this past season as a senior because of a foot injury, and he averaged 11.1 points and 7.9 rebounds. He played his previous two seasons at Utah Valley and was the WAC player of the year, 2020-21 and the WAC defensive player of the year, 2021-22. Impressive stats at Utah Valley before Texas Tech, scoring and rebounding exceeds Bandaogo. 20-21 Utah Valley (WAC) 14 PPG, 15 RPG, 1.7 BPG 21-22 Utah Valley (WAC) 19 PPG, 13.6 RPG, 1.3 BPG 22-23 Texas Tech (Big XII) 11 PPG, 8 RPG, 0.3 BPG

Remember Glen Taylor, 6'6" Ex-Aztec recruit from AZ Compass Prep? He selected Oregon ST over SDSU and became the starting SF on the Beavers. 11.6 PPG, 3.7 RPG & 2.2 APG, well he just signed with St. John's. Has a bright future as a Johnnie with the big Pitino. Was viewed as a JJ O'Brian-type, glue guy.

has any Portal player visited in a while Not that we've heard, but Dutch & Staff typically talk a lot about prospects in the press and social media. Bigs are still a focus, and Butler's status makes things interesting as well. NO real news coming out of the sports outlets, this article (below) was on ESPN.com today. (No new news.) 25. San Diego State AztecsIt's hard to rank a team that lost in the national championship game so low, but there are so many roster questions with the Aztecs right now. Lamont Butler and Jaedon LeDee are testing the NBA draft waters, Keshad Johnson is in the transfer portal and the likes of Matt Bradley, Nathan Mensah, Adam Seiko and Aguek Arop are out the door. USC transfer Reese Dixon-Waters is a great start to the reload, though. Darrion Trammell could choose to come back, too.
