I'm officially done getting upset when we miss out on players (Mag). Every time we do, the next target is even more exciting. Don't get me wrong, Mag is better, but the stability of a vet scorer would be a great final piece.

I put this on another thread yesterday.
Got some tools: gomatadors.com/sports/mens-basketball/roster/de-sean--allen-eikens/5953 Good stuff 6'6", 36% from 3, 74% FT and 18.8ppg last year with two 30-pt games. Bad stuff He had an unusual number of TOs in some games: one game with 7, one with 6 and five with 5! He's 24 years old and this would be his 4th school:University of North Dakota, New Orleans and CSUN. He was also arrested in 2023 for fighting with a security guard in a bar and then punched a cop while he was being arrested.

We can find higher quality players with better characters Sure on the character part, but at least at this late stage it will be real difficult to find a higher quality player who would entertain coming to us.

I read about the arrest a little bit. It's the classic likely drank too much and an altercation with security turns into an altercation with a cop... which is the alarming part. Also happened just over a year ago so relatively soon. However I watched a heartfelt interview with the CSUN coach who said De'Sean was their leader and did a lot for the program. If it were still April you may go another route unless he really wants to come to SDSU. At this point if you can bring him in I think you do and hear him out on what happened, what he's learned, etc. My understanding is SDSU coaches do a lot of due diligence through associates of the player/family as well. Try to get to the bottom of if it was a mistake and he's learned or if we're going to be hearing about him out in PB.

Lauderdale will always be somewhat of a landmine. You have a ton of underage kids with fake IDs who don't know how to drink and they're running all over town. The bouncers and cops are fed up by the 2nd night. It's real easy for them to overreact. I don't know that's what happened but I bartended for 7 years in school and there were dozens of people I would probably have done the same thing to as that bouncer did. After dealing with drunks all night, sometimes you just kind of snap.

Looks to be a genuine scorer, which the Aztecs NEED!

If we're "interested" then Dutcher probably wants him. And I'll trust him too. He had two 30-point games last year. It was so much fun watching LeDee score big at the beginning of last season. I wouldn't mind seeing that again. Having DEA and JCJ both be scorers sounds pretty exciting, especially since JCJ is supposedly coming here to get better on defense for his professional future.

What really sucks is when the off-duty cop working security baits drunks into hitting them just so they can get physical. I was a bouncer a number of years and this was a common theme with dudes with anger issues. Some who were cops. The government entrusted these dudes with guns and authority which is frightening

The government entrusted these dudes with guns and authority which is frightening I worked undercover security for Sears for a few years back in the early 80's. They would hire part timers from both the SDPD and SD Fire. Some of these people were really good people. But, there were a couple that definitely liked to rough up the "dirt bags" as they called them. These were shoplifters who maybe stole a pair of jeans, or a socket set. I mean, I watched a female security person (she was a SD firefighter), just pummel this guy who I had just handcuffed for stealing a socket set. I was like, whoa whoa whoa, what are you doing, the guy is defenseless. Two weeks later I was let go for not making enough arrests. Maybe this is off the original topic a bit, but back to what this young man was involved in...always two sides to a story.

doesn't Interested mean that after the player has entered the portal SDSU reached out to see if he was interested in SDSU as SDSU and other schools do to see if the player has any interest in SDSU - and then he lists the schools that reached out ?
in another post some one mentioned Duncan Powell from SAC State ?
in addition the Lakers are going to be talking with current UCONN HC with a very good sized contract - if he leaves any player could leave within 30 days - so would SDSU reach out to any player if that happens
would also point out stats for some of the players we are talking about are guys from at a lower conference and do not always mean that guys will be able to get the same results
So yes SDSU could see if some of the guys would come in for a visit to see how they are
