Look, I think we have a good chance at Compton. I've looked at both UNLV boards and Iowa boards, and both have us tussling with their schools as the final 2. We shall see soon.

Pharaoh Compton follows SDSU basketball, Lamont Butler, and a handful of other aztec players on Instagram. I didn't see him follow any other school. I like our chances.

Heide and MG will probably be our centers next year though. Heide is pretty highly thought of, is doing well so far for SDSU. MG is just oozing with talent and potential. I don't see anyone getting on the floor in front of those two. He isn’t a center… he is a 3/4 Definitely doesn't look like a 3 when I've seen him play. More of a 4/5, being a 5 defensively with weight & muscle due to his length and a 4 offensively due to a lack of muscle & post moves. He has quick feet for his size, but so did Nate. He definitely shied away from contact but hopefully that changes over time. It'll be interesting to see in what direction he develops. Heide & Shay are penciled in to be our 5's next year, with MG still developing as a 4/5 IMO.

I'd read somewhere that Compton to Iowa was a near done deal due to him finalizing a NIL deal there, but 90% of those reports are BS. I like our chances.

I'm envisioning him as a Billy White... slightly undersized PF with a very high motor and knack for the ball. Would love to land him.

What do you think our chances are to get Pharaoh Compton, buzz has been around UNLV, Iowa, and the AZTECS.

A few weeks ago Iowa got a commitment from 6'8" 225 power forward Chris Tadjo. I'd be surprised if Iowa is still in the mix. And don't look now but UNLV is landing quality kids, and Compton did visit, but he's from Vegas and I can seem him not wanting to go back.

I won't be shocked if we get him but if he blows up after a big Senior year, I'll be surprised we can hold on to him as the NIL$ gets bigger and bigger.
I asked this before; does anyone know what this year's Aztec BB NIL situation looks like compared to last year's $2,000/month per player?

I asked this before; does anyone know what this year's Aztec BB NIL situation looks like compared to last year's $2,000/month per player? He’s going to sign in less than a month. He seemingly was offered good nil deal by iowa and unlv but said no to both. I think Taj is who sold it in the end, if we didn’t get Taj we wouldn’t get Compton, they are good friends.

He’s announcing his school at the halftime of the h.s. basketball game on ESPN2 in a few minutes.

Dutcher was there for the announcement, as was the Iowa coach.
