How many BB scholys do we have to give?

How many do we have left if all the Sr's that participated in senior night leave and the ones that didn't stay, without speculation on who else would leave? And do the remaining covid yrs count against the scholarship limit?

A school gets 13 scholarships

Aztecs do lose Adam , Nathan , AG , Matt for sure

Aztecs have 2 committed HS player

There are 3 seniors Keshad , Ledee , DT( not sure if he graduates - that would be needed if he wants to transfer ) , that could return or leave - many are saying that Ledee and DT have remarked they are very likely staying but nothing guaranteed - Keshad is 50/50

Believe Lamont , Elijah , Miles , Shay , Micah are returning 5

So guess 5 ( staying ) 3 seniors staying( maybe ) + 2 HS players = 10

So if that is correct the max would be 3 scholarships to give But not sure Dutch wants to use all 13 or hold at least 1 back

There is also some talk about HS player Brady Dunlap being another possible addition - but no one knows for sure

So a lot of moving parts 2 or 3 to give you a guess

Believe Dutcher has asked that all the guys give him an answer about staying or going after the season is over and they talk with family -

Parrish
Butler
Demarshay
Darrion
Ledee
Byrd
Sanders
Davis
Heide

This leaves 3 or 4 mattering on what keshad does. This of course assumes all the players above don’t transfer out which who knows quite frankly. But we will have at least 3 scholarships to give

Would guess that as usual the coaches will have a meeting with each player after the season is over and ask those that are eligible to return let the staff know as soon as possible after they talk it over with their families

What Dutcher does not want is for what happened to Roddy at CSU - waiting until late about going to the NBA . In addition things got sticky with Nathan - as Dutcher kept his scholarship and passed on a few guys that were interested in SDSU

Also would presume that the coaches as they always do is respond to the guys that they think they might want to come to SDSU and see if there is any interest from the player if yes then the coaches try to get as much information as they can get about the player . I do not know the rules about when a player would be able to visit . Of course it is important to know what position or positions the coaches think may need help with .

there was also some talk about HS recruit Brady Dunlap a good shooting 6'7" player that had the Aztecs in his final 5 schools then chose N.D. but N.D.'s coach has retired so he has opened up his recruiting . Some have said the Aztecs were no longer interested but then the other day some one said Coach David was following him on social media .

Would also add Dutcher rarely fills all the 13 - just in case some one adds their name later . It is also not that easy to manage 13 guys unless the coach and player red shirt some one or two

So think the coaches should know more by sometime in April but that will not stop the coaches from reaching out to guys they might have interest in
