The starting NT tweeted recently that he is still in his boot but is no longer required to get around on a scooter. I definitely still expect Barrett to miss spring ball but him finally being able to lose the boot is a positive sign in regards to his progress and rehab.

He also sent out this video clip of exactly when the foot injury happened last season.

How about that.

I have now read 2 different articles where Cage is asked who is pursuing him the most and he has named 6 different schools, none of which are SDSU. That is really really surprising to me. What are your thoughts Ruben. From what he has recently said, I am sensing we have lost a lot of ground with him and that he has gone from a probable to an unlikely commit.

Was notified today of another walk on who joined the team: WR Brandon Fitzpatrick, formerly of Ramona high.

Everybody looking healthy and sharp during warmups. Team also sporting a black & red Tony Gwynn shirt with "24" on the back.

A pretty good wide receiver from Manville Texas left the Aggie's.would sit one year have two to play. Wonder if there is mutual interest. He was a four star coming out of high school

Are going to be playing baseball this year. They're practicing with the team now and may play a couple early games. During spring ball they're all football, but afterwards they're going back to baseball.

Hey, I'm on the road checking in on prospects in the St. Louis area and got the news about Keith Smith committing to San Diego State while checking out the Dayton/St. Louis college game.

Anyway, made it back to the hotel and wanted to stop by real quick.

Smith was put where he is in the rankings after a very impressive spring prior to injuring himself. He looked like a good sized wing (6-6, maybe 6-7) with a great frame and some explosion to him. Can rebound, plays well in transition and keeps defenders honest with his jumper.

He is also somebody that I feel I need to see more of to have a true evaluation on him. Lots has probably changed since coming back from injury and the jump from sophomore to junior is usually big for most prospects. Hope to have some updated game film on him soon and at worst I should be seeing him again by the first live period in April.

Based on everything I know up until now, this looks like a really nice score for the Aztecs and I'm sure they are happy to have gotten him done before everybody else jumped in after April.

Reuben,

any truth to the rumors that Keith Smith has committed to SDSU to play basketball? there is nothing on Rivals or ESPN that confirms this.

Hearing it's 50-50 between BYU and SDSU for Dayan Lake. I'm giving BYU a little bit of an edge because it was his last visit and he seemed like he had fun as he was a long-time commit to the Cougs for quite some time as well.

Still, Tony White has been on him hard for a few weeks now and I'm hearing JJ Whittaker did a great job as his host. Will post more here as I gather info.

It's being reported by multiple outlets that Larry Nance Jr. is not traveling with the Wyoming team to San Diego and will miss the game Wednesday (mono). Air Force blew out Wyo this past weekend without Nance.

I see he has abandoned Hawaii. What are the odds of him visiting our AZTECS!!

Worth mentioning that Jaylen is taking notice of Trey Kell starting as a freshman.

"That's good for me, that's a good sign,"

I wonder if Clewis and Morris will be ready to go? Lots of young guys to watch at linebacker Dunlap,Dunn Henderson and Morris, Brown.I am also curious to see the weights although actually getting any change form fall seems like a fantasy.

IDK if this has been posted yet, but if SDSU and UH do them together again, it looks like it'll be March 19.

If you can make it, it's pretty interesting. I went last year to check out the teams and it doesn't really matter what position guys played in college, they work out for whatever they think they can do in the pros. I remember seeing a TE for UH wrap up his drills then jump in w/ the DE for the hell of it and he impressed some scouts.

UCLA DC and LB coach Ulbrich just took a job with a Falcons. Doubt UCLA looks at Rocky but wouldn't be surprised if Tony White gets another call or interview.

I just saw on Twitter that he's leavin USC, I rem we were on this kid a couple of years ago and I'm just wondering if he might be heading this way?..

Probably the most important conference game the rest of the way in likely the most important week of the season ( with Wyoming and Colorado State at home coming up later this week).

Winston and AQ will have their hands full with Derrick Marks and Anthony Drmic.

Great Job on the recruiting stuff as always..was just wondering how many players they lost on the football team
besides Jordan Smith...Thanks

Next time someone bitches about "ugly" win, remind them of these scores. Bottom line: Win is a win.

Wyoming one game back now at 8-3 in MWC.

Oh, if you don't think consistency is hard: reminder that traditional MWC powers, New Mexico is 6-5 and UNLV is 4-6

The first do we have any scholarships left for a transfer or two? Second do we have tentative list of preferred walk ons.

Boise State, Cal, Fresno State and Utah St. all appear to be making a last minute run on him. Some reached out just this week. That's why he's considering not signing on Wednesday and holding off so he can make more visits.

Since Lessard was so underwraps, we don't really know much about him, but where do you think he ends up? Is he a true inside LB or a edgerusher type?

Also, Sevea was a sneaky good last minute pick up, he hasn't even visited. Is he more of an OT guy at 6'7"?

I'm just really intrigued as to what you guys think about our two most unknown signees.

I've noticed that we have a few posters that like to talk down our opponents, especially our in conference opponents.

This last year the Spartans head coach, Ron Caragher brought in Al Borges as his offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach as well as Dan Ferrigno as the special teams coordinator and tight ends coach.

As we are all aware, these two new additions to the Spartan coaching staff played a big role in turning the attitude around on the Mesa when Brady Hoke came here.

Additionally, the San Jose State defensive was beefed up when they signed four star cornerback, Tae'on Mason, and highly touted safety, Jeremy Kelly, and cornerback, Dakari Monroe, as well as JC defensive lineman, Loni Fa.

We best be taking the Spartan game in San Jose, this coming year, very seriously.

New San Jose State coaches

To those that say they don't matter (at least the ones we've been a part of) just need to look at this recruiting class, they're just as important to the football program as making the NCAA Tournament is to our Basketball program. Successes on the field/court leads to successes off of it. Stoked to see both programs on the up and up.
