Mississippi athlete JaMarcus Bradley had an in home visit with Cal recently. They're the likely leader at this point but there's a chance cb coach Tony White will have an in-home visit with Bradley this week to the Aztecs chances alive. Very big target.

Per another subscription article on a different site, he just officialled to Cal and has ones set up to Gonzaga (the leader imo), New Mexico, and SDSU. Any idea what date ruben?

I was going to save this until tomorrow but I received more substantial, clear cut info on how the staff search is going and some more clarification. Before I go further though, coaching searches are fluid situations and actual coaching titles/responsibilities will be the last thing finalized during the process. It will all get sorted out eventually.

OK, first off, it sounds like incoming coach Brian White will NOT be the quarterbacks coach. He will likely coach the running backs as he did at Florida during his last coaching gig.

That leaves SDSU with this on offense:

OC- Jeff Horton
QB- Unknown
RB- Brian White
OL- Mike Schmidt
WR- Hernandez Cooper
TE- Grad Asst (or possibly another hire)

Rocky has interviewed QB coaches all week and he's still looking for the right guy. He wants to interview a lot of candidates before he comes to a decision, which means there is a possibility that he can end up hiring somebody who he already interviewed this week. He's moving patiently - he knows how important the job is. QB development is the most important piece to any successful program.

It's not going to be a guy like Jeff Garcia who has zero coaching experience and it's not going to be a guy like George Whitfield who fixes flaws in throwing mechanics and that's it (NFL QBs see him once or twice before the draft). He's looking for a guy with experience and success both in coaching and recruiting.

Rocky is looking all over the place, from the high school ranks, NFL coaches and other college candidates too. I'm sure Jeff Horton will have a say in it too.

So, whoever the hire is, just know that a lot of thought was put into it.

Extra note: Speaking of QBs, there should be some surprise news for me to report as early as next Thursday. That's all I will say about that for now.

'16 Justin Moore and '17 Jaylen Hands went at it yesterday. Video from Sportsontheside.

game highlights

Jesuit OLB/DE Kori Collons has committed to Nevada.

Long Beach CC OT film from then.

SDSU is the only school that apparently knew that he was a spring qualifier and kept things under wraps, otherwise Pope would be one of the most coveted JuCo tackles on the west coast. Say, for example, he stayed in JuCo for another year and became a mid-year graduate this upcoming December, he'd probably blow up sort of like Kevin Scott.

Mike Schmidt had an in home visit with him last night and basically sealed the deal. He will likely redshirt and fill in for Pearce Slater when he graduates in a year at right tackle. I think he's that good as long as he develops.

Very BIG commitment.

Quevedo just got back home from his official visit. Loved hanging out with his host Nico Siragusa and all the fancy food consumed during the weekend (favorite was Tower 23). He roomed with NorCal safety Ron Smith and they talked about SDSU a lot. He said the visit really put San Diego State at the top and they will definitely stick in his top two no matter what happens moving forward, but he wants to take one or two more visits before deciding. He came down to San Diego with his mom and she loved the area. His dad wasn't able to make the trip so Quevedo needs to talk about his recruitment a little more with him. I get the vibe that Quevedo is waiting until his mid-January visit to Boise St. and he will decide after that. It will be interesting too see how the Aztecs o-line recruiting develops until then. Also worth noting that there were two more OL official visitors this weekend. Will have more soon.

Ruben, are there any visitors scheduled this weekend?? Also, have you heard anything on former USC WR commit Desean Holmes?? He seems to be following several staff members now.

Are all the coaces on board now? Did White change his mind?

-Fisher very proud of the win at Wyoming.

-"We've had great games with Vegas. We have great respect for one another but when we get out an play we desperately want to win."

-Fisher wary of UNLV coming off tough overtime loss to Boise State. Knows they're going to give it their all and try to avoid very poor start in conference.

-Fisher said Dooling has been big for UNLV but the team still has a lot of inexperienced true frosh playing significant minutes.

-Polee had a stress test according to Fisher, and all went well - they feel good about it - but they're still going through the process.

-Winston adamant about not doing anything differently against UNLV. Attacking the hoop, defending 94 feet.

-Winston says Polee off the court impacts the team in a lot of ways but especially his usefulness at the top of the 1-3-1 zone when the Aztecs execute it.

Jeff Horton has been officially named offensive coordinator / running backs coach.

Looks like SDSU has added some beef along the OL by adding Long Beach CC Offensive Tackle Ryan Pope per JC football. Pope appears to be a freshman qualifier and should have 4 years to play 3 here, giving him the ability to redshirt if needed. Should be here for spring ball.

I was perusing twitter and looks like the staff offered Seaside HS DE Dariyn Choates and Riverside City College SS/LB Thaddeus Lagrone recently. Choates looks particularly studly and has great getoff, as evidenced by his 17 sacks during his senior year. Lagrone is a great athlete who has LB size and might be able to play Aztec here.

This DE/T at Upland. Gary Baker. Big body that can move. Looks like he can have some nice upside at guard. He can be a good match with Quevedo and Cronk in my opinion (along with one or three JuCo guys).

San Diego State received a commitment from an offensive lineman this weekend. I'm not at liberty to say who just yet but I'm letting you guys know so nobody goes in panic mode about SDSU not having any OL in this class.

Former all-american tight end MJ McFarland is transferring out of Texas and will have one year of eligibility to play right away since he graduated from the school this past spring. McFarland was a Tony White recruit and wouldn't be a surprise for the staff to put a feeler out on him soon.

Winston Shepard gave his best Richard Sherman impression during today's presser. He said he's really focused for this game. I don't blame him.

"I'll talk to you guys on Thursday."

Let me guess, SDSU is right on the cusp of being the new Boise St., right? That's comical, with this coaching staff.

Sr qb from U of Kentucky. Redshirt possible?

According to Mark over at the UT, Zylan has been a full on participant in practices. So why hasn't he been cleared to play yet? We need a strong rebounder and another player who can muscle his way inside for a basket. If the staff is going to be overly cautious at this point in the season then they just need to go ahead and red-shirt him now. Otherwise he needs to start playing right now.

Or was it still a quiet/dead period?

San Diego State has received a commitment from Texas OT Jordan Murray, a 6-8, 350-pound prospect who visited in December.

Bonus: His teammate, Coppell HS running back Charles West visited with him in Dec. as well.

Haven't seen him on the court or even on the bench.

I see Stan Sedberry still on the roster do they expect him to return? Also what happnedto the young olineman from Tucson Antonio Rosales, I do not see him on the roster. Last one What happened with Judges injury is he ok.
