No you don’t stop lying. You keep on saying I just know Twitter as a inside source. I told you to get better sources last year in Washington was a locked coming here. Then magically you knew this year that it was true. I called you out you of course lied, then you backpedal. You didn’t say anything about Resse Dixon Waters visiting . Reliable sources please. Believe what you want dude. I could really care less. If you don't believe my posts don't read them, but most here who are clued in know they're accurate. As for RDW, I didn't have any conversations with anyone around that time, but I did when it came to some other recruits, and especially Dunlap. I only make statements about recruits & other things when I've actually heard it from from of the AC's. But yeah, reading the twitter tea leaves ("Dave followed his mom so they must have interest") is more accurate than 2 coaches specifically talking about him and saying the opposite. Got it. Oh,I believe you are a fake. Funny you didn’t mention the Washington part. Where you completely lied with your so call sources. I wonder why. Ignore, backpedal or cherry pick those are your options.

can we please get back to talking about the Transfer Portal
IMO Aztecs should continue to try to look at possible players - would trust that SDSU continues to see what guys might be willing to come for a visit - yes realize coaches want players that fit the system

The 6’3” guard averaged 13 PPG on 49% shooting (33% 3 & 72% FT), 3 RPG, and 2 SPG. Looks like a defensive-minded guard on tape. But a small conference player.

What would we have to alter for him? He's an shot blocker at the rim similar to Mensah He can't move in space, you can't switch any actions with him. I haven't seen any tape of him defending the P&R.

I appreciate your input and insight here. But I also realize often what you say is filtered through rose-colored glasses. So it can make it tough to discern truth in what you say. In the Facebook Aztec group you said this was a superb offseason by Dutcher. That’s a stretch for even the most diehard of fans. We got the best bench player in the PAC and a pretty decent player at a low major, that’s it, while losing one of our team leaders to the portal. We couldn’t even secure a guy who started for a P5. I think with the national title run we should’ve been able to recruit someone at that level. We also struck out on a 5 numerous times. Hard to call that superb in my opinion.

NIL has been an issue and to some players that is one of their main issues If they consider all other things the same for schools they are looking at - toss in P6 schools can still matter to some .
MM did elevate SDSU to some but let's also remember the phrase that kept on being heard by announcers and players - If Defense is not one of your priorities then maybe look at other schools
Yes it is difficult to recruit 5 's and even 4's as there are not that many quality ones out there - so guys are going to look for the best offer
The transfer the Aztecs did add Waters can he also play guard or is he primarily a 3 position player
could the offer to the guard be dependent on what Lamont might do by May 31 ?

After Butler lost the NC game in 2010, they brought in two 3* and one 2* recruit. After they lost the NC game in 2011, they brought in three 3* and one 2* recruit, and one good transfer in Rotnei Clarke from Arkansas. They wouldn't get back to the Sweet 16 for 6 years. They've been to a total of one Sweet 16 and nothing further than that since 2011.

He can't move in space, you can't switch any actions with him. This is reason 1A we'll be in trouble if Jaedon starts at 5 for us... On/off court splits for 2022-23: On-court Opponent eFG% - 48.0% (79th percentile) Off-court eFG% - 45.5% (95th percentile) On-court Opponent FTA Rate - 35.0% (27th percentile) Off-court FTA Rate - 26.7% (79th percentile) I ran on/off numbers last year. In a word we did well with ledee on the floor. docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/15K9_772e9sQfyIgemm0dFdncVx_m82I-a9INqFB1crI/edit

Interesting that our three lowest rated players were Keshad, Bradley and Nate with DT right there with them. I would not have expected that. I always loved when Arop is on the floor, but was not aware his on/off numbers would be that much better. The rest of what we should be bringing back looks really good.

That trend exacerbates when Nathan and AG were both on the bench - i.e. when Jaedon was at 5. We will not be nearly as strong a defensive team if Jaedon is our anchor on D. Also - no need to run them yourself! Sign up for a free account at this website and choose SDSU as your one free team cbbanalytics.com/

Luckily I don't think Brian Dutcher is going to take the Celtics head coaching job in a year or two, so that helps us a bit.

The on-off court numbers for some of our players is extremely misleading in my opinion. When our bench players were going against other team's bench we were absolutely dominant. Or when our bench guys came in, they were fresh and going against other team's starters staying on the floor.
So yes, all our bench players numbers look great. But if the roles were reversed and our starters came off the bench, I think their stats would improve.
I'm not saying the numbers are invalid, I'm just saying they don't tell the whole story.
And we all know the first 60% of the year, LeDee was not a good defender. But he improved a ton as the season went along. Nate Mensah is probably a top 5 defender in MW history, so comparing the two of them is not really fair to Jae.

Not surprised the team was so good when AG was in. He was such a tremendous player, always making winning plays - many that don’t show up in the box score. He was easily our least “aggravating” player … meaning he rarely did anything that drove you nuts, he made minimal mistakes. I just love that guy, one of the highest BBIQ players we’ve ever had along with the highest motors always going hard. I’ve posted this before, be he is the guy we miss the most next season. I’m always happy when I get to extol the virtues of AG! 😉 😆

AG knew what his role was for the team and did it to the max - not every player does what is best for team
He was an example of a player that totally adjusted their style of play to the betterment of the team .
Important to have reserves or role players that are willing to buy in to the coaches game plan

Your comments are fair… but… I think we are all going to be surprised… JP will be an upgrade over what KJ provided last year… when we run the 4 out offense the other team will have to guard him while they didn’t guard KJ… so… IMHO JP>KJ P12 6th man of the year and someone, who by the end of the year, that was one of U$C’s Top 3/4 players… We won’t be able to judge until January
