I would like to see at times Sakho and Great at the same time. I hope we get to see this in conference play. I feel like it could work. Sakho is so athletic I'd agree Sent from my SM-S906U using Tapatalk In fact I would love to see a “Giant” lineup that plays a 2-3 zone on defense and is just insan...

Nevada clicking on all cylinders tonight. Up 55-15 at the half against pacific

Darius Brown's defense is elite. Such a joy to watch. Picks his dude up in the backcourt and hounds his a$$ all the way up the floor. I totally understand those of you that are on the Falslev train for favorite player. He's going to be a great one but for this year I still am on Brown. I love his g...

FULL participant in practice today.
Great still in a boot?
Yes.

For a second there I thought Max was full participant in practice but with a boot on

I don’t put much stock in exhibition game scores. The coach is usually tinkering and doesn’t care win or lose as much as discovering more about his team.

nswaggie

As I read (and enjoyed) Aggies22's player profiles by position, I was struck by the 247 ratings of so many players. Being fully aware that ratings are projections not prophecies, I still believe that this is a team of very talented players. I have no idea how many HS seniors there are in the US in ...

nswaggie

Thanks for the read. Do you see any scenario where two of these guys are on the floor at the same time and we go big? Do any of these guys have the skill set to slide down to the 4?

There is some recency bias on there. I like seeing USU on the list but for the west coast teams, Utah and UNLV should be on there. BYU and San Francisco should be lower.

UNLV is #20, I agree the Rick Majeras era should have Utah on there before us if I’m not being biased.

I always thought if Roddy could make the NBA that Bean could also. I guess sometimes it just takes a team identifying someone and investing in them. I honestly didn’t think either would stick, but Roddy seems to have carved out some minutes last year.

Martinez is probably the second tallest Costa Rican in the valley. We keep getting lots of international players..

Someones scholarship must be sponsored by some NIL deal.

Can't wait to see these guys play.

Is this the beginning of 13 does not = 13

FWIW. Last year my son went to the USU bball camp and had a blast getting to know all the players and competing. He came home and told me that Funk was going to be a really good shooter....so he was not surprised when last year Funk came out on fire from 3. This week he's been at this year's camp a...

I would guess

1. SDSU
2. Boise
3. New Mexico
4. Nevada
5. Utah State
6. UNLV
7. Colorado State
8. San Jose
9. Air Force
10. Fresno
11. Wyoming

This would be my guess as well. Though I think 5-8 could be in any order, and possibly flip flop Air Force and Fresno.

nswaggie

Something is off on this one. Maybe he received offers from these guys a month ago, then they filled their rosters and he was left out? No way he picks UVU over those other options. Maybe Spuds knows something about this guy since he had an offer from Nevada. Maybe he wants playing time and has a p...

He will be 2 to 3 inches shorter than listed due to the Logan Height Negation Syndrome.

But on paper we will be one of the tallest teams in America!

nswaggie

Thought this thread was going to point out some player we could have gotten had we a spot. I am a little surprised we are full, I always liked leaving a scholarship open late to be able to snag some of those guys that become available late, but also have no issues with the roster being filled out.

nswaggie

I really hope the euphoria about our new talent level is true. We clearly have more depth and I am cautiously optimistic about our talent but we didn't exactly pick up players that were tearing it up in real good conferences. That is how I feel. Super happy about the roster Sprinkle put together bu...

He doesn’t know what Dixon’s plans are. VCU is not interested in Sakho, doesn’t know what his plans are. Phelps and Templin will be awesome and he wishes they were going to VCU. Of the USU recruits he talked about he seemed the highest on Uduje, said he is an absolute baller. Said those three recru...

nswaggie

I know he was a scharalship player but he was not ready for D1 basketball and didn't make much improvement over two years at USU inspite of his obvious physical atributes. I speak mainly in retrospect - he should have gone to a place where he could play a lot of basketball. USU coaches took a chanc...

nswaggie

As of right now I think there is great competition for every starting spot. Only player I see for sure locked in at a starting spot is Brown. I see the remaining spots wide open based on guys that could play multiple positions and coach deciding who the best 5 to start would be. (Starting 5 is not a...

nswaggie

This is good for Zee. I hope he finds a good landing spot. Wonder if he lands at VCU. I could see him being a backup plan for Odom. Maybe Odom is realizing it is also hard to recruit to VCU and recruiting in general is hard and it wasn’t so much recruiting to USU that was making it difficult for him.

nswaggie

Is it just me or are we way overloaded at the 4 position? Are some of these guys able to slide to the 3 or 4 position?

nswaggie

I’m gonna guess he end up at CAL

I don't know if Max's 2 buddies that bolted with him at Wyoming our on our list, but that would take some more serious vetting.

Hoping they are not on our list. I think we got the most talented of the three.

nswaggie

I was told from a pretty reliable source that Max, Ethan Anderson, and Jake Kyman all chose to leave mid-season, and no one even knew they left until they missed practice. That is... well... concerning... Not for us. That mess was on Lindner. Regardless, there’s a mature way to approach things, and...

Here's one of the three dudes that visited earlier this week.

So we know one of the three was Brown right? So other guy still a mystery?

In days of yore, the entire crowd stood and clapped in unison at the beginning of the game and kept it up until the Aggies' first basket. Then the place erupted for a little bit until the geezer side sat down. Any chance you were there in the 90's? I remember doing that, always loved that tradition...

Big blue coming out of the ceiling with repelling ropes. Seemed to get the crowd started. My understanding is the new sound system doesn’t allow for him to come down in the center anymore, but could he come down off center? Some more dramatic entry for big blue would be great to get things started.

nswaggie

I think Sprinkle is smart enough to not mess with prior agreements. There may be some quiet negotiation involved if they don’t want to come, or if he doesn’t want them, but I doubt we will see anything controversial. In the case of Grant, recruiting Utah could be impacted positively or negatively b...

:wtf: Another interview. Really good stuff. Doesn’t do alot of coach speak. A few interesting points. 1. We have approx 8 scholarships 2. The guys in the portal are not coming back. He said that was done before he got here. Then he said long before he got here (interesting because listen to an ashwo...

I think Johnson will have to make huge strides for him to be a big contributor. Hope I am wrong but I am thinking we need some real help from the Portal in the stretch 4 space. Obviously don’t have enough information on Johnson to disagree, but I am curious about what is fueling your negative take ...

One of the things I like most that Sprinkle has said in more than one interview is that offense will be predicated on personnel. His system is flexible and he runs a lot of different stuff. He has mentioned that scouting opponents offense comes easier for his guys cause his stuff is flexible and inc...

nswaggie

This is obviously not the lineup, but with these guys, I would think… Falslev Phelps Zee Templin Johnson As The most likely. Jones would play a bunch, but hopefully be used judiciously to perhaps make it through at least half of the season 😀. I think Sakho is not coming, and Zapala, if he does stay...
