I’ve hated Ziegler’s reporting in Scoric’s shooting. He says Scoric hit 38.8% of his threes, but I can’t find that number anywhere. Realgm has him as a 33% shooter last season from deep. It does have him hitting 38.9% of threes within the league (smaller sample size than all year) and only in wins.

Both times SDSU plays Gonzaga are on 1 day prep. Idk how much getting kore prep might sway the odds one way or the other, but 1 day prep both times feels wrong.

Not that any Aztec fans need convincing, but this is why you leave the MW and go to the Pac-12.

I cannot emphasize enough how much of a bummer Nick Andersons injury is. Other than that, @evanmiya.bsky.social algo is higher in chance Gladden than I am, and much lower on Cherry, Davis, and Torresani. Still very nice to have numbers coming out though.

Zags seem to be the clear favorite in the Pac 12 this season. No surprise there. SDSU and Utah State seem to form the 2nd tier.

Can't remember if I ever shared this. It's my current projection of the Aztec rotation, as well as the players' PIPM scores from their last healthy season. Losing Nick Anderson was brutal.

Gotta love a big with a mid range game.

Vincini doesn’t have a huge block rate, but he can swat a few shots away.

Torresani hits the tough 3 off the dribble.

Torresani with the killer crossover to finish in the lane.

Scoric pressing full court.

Scoric attacking off the catch. He can punish defenders who are closing out.

Scoric contests the shot then attacks and dishes.

Scoric attacking in transition. One of his better abilities is attacking after the rebound.

AztecBreakdown @aztecbreakdown.bsky.social · 27/04/2026
Scoric showing some good footwork in the post. Has a solid back to the basket game.

Chance Gladden attacking the rim.

AztecBreakdown @aztecbreakdown.bsky.social · 23/04/2026
Another assist where Gladden doesn’t need to do much. The defense isn’t broken, his big man just makes a good play.

AztecBreakdown @aztecbreakdown.bsky.social · 23/04/2026
This is how I see the rotation thus far. Obviously it's still really early.

AztecBreakdown @aztecbreakdown.bsky.social · 23/04/2026
Gladden gets the assist despite not doing much.

Cherry falls prey to the spin move.

Cherry gets blown by on the perimeter when trying to close out.

AztecBreakdown @aztecbreakdown.bsky.social · 17/04/2026
Cherry shows good post defense against NJJ, pushing him out early and not letting him get good position.

Cherry contests the shot from a low drop coverage.

Absolutely love this pickup. Elite shooter that should really help open up the offense.

Call me highly skeptical that these numbers are real. At the very least, if it’s incentive based they aren’t realistic to expect.

AztecBreakdown @aztecbreakdown.bsky.social · 14/04/2026
The SDSU contacts we’ve heard about. Oftentimes commitments come from players not on this list though.

AztecBreakdown @aztecbreakdown.bsky.social · 07/04/2026
As best as I can tell, this is the Aztecs roster situation on the day the portal opens. It will probably take months to fully fill the open spots, so get ready for the long haul.

AztecBreakdown @aztecbreakdown.bsky.social · 06/04/2026
Here are some examples of guys that could fill a role in Heide's absence. Big men are hard to come by this offseason as everyone wants them, so it's a harder market. Still potentially some diamonds in the rough though. And this doesn't even count international players.

AztecBreakdown @aztecbreakdown.bsky.social · 06/04/2026
Heide entering the portal, according to his agency. Seems like a super great kid. Idk if he ever lived up to what Dutch thought he would be when he was recruited.

AztecBreakdown @aztecbreakdown.bsky.social · 06/04/2026
There are a few guys I've found while perusing portal lists that could fill holes the Aztecs currently have. I don't know of any contact between anyone, just giving examples that should be somewhat realistic to replace Byrd and likely BJ.

And here is some of my top potential targets, the holes they could fill, and how much they might cost.
