Just asked for a release from his Duke letter of intent, do we got enough juice to make a run on him? Would he fit in what we need or do we have a log jam at the forward spot already?

I don't think he would go from a Duke to us. Other P5 programs would probably jump in with that sweet NIL $$$

What makes you think he has any ties to us? His finalists were Duke, Kentucky, Memphis and Ohio State, he's from the NE, and he's also considering the G League Elite. There's zero link to the west coast or SDSU.

Even with our success, we just aren't going to be the destination for 5* talent or one and done guys. We can't offer the same type of NIL money and we don't have opportunities for true freshman who haven't learned or defense. Those guys want to go somewhere they'll get 30 minutes a game and have an offensive focused coach.

Completely agree
Aztecs had the second best run of any college team in MM . But Aztecs are Not a P6 team nor have the NIL money to the Highest rated players
Things are better then last year but still have a challenge getting some of the better players from HS or the Transfer Portal

It's still a stretch for SDSU to compete for the top-10 level 1-and-done type players (partly because the team's culture isn't built around that type of player, although that could change)

Not Jersey, and not when we have zero relationship with him.

Now maybe for players 2-3 years down the road, sure. Unless we have a boat load of money now for the NIL's we probably can't get these guys just yet. But I like your thoughts of shooting for top players!

there could be more guys that might consider SDSU but bottom line is seeing who they can sign
Aztec coaches may have been reaching out to guys that have entered the Portal but not sure what players have said they have an interest in SDSU - and if there is a true fit

Or maybe if that 5 star player was from Oakland, or Sacramento area, or Riverside area. Somewhere that we have a connection to and have recruited from in the past.

think for the most part Aztecs have taken players with a lower rating but high ceiling from those areas
other then maybe K. Leonard
things could change IF Aztecs can get into a P6 conference
