Of course, San Jose State is just a farm team for larger schools. So if John is any good next year, the following year you'll see him at Arizona or Kansas State or something.

I talked to Nigel two days ago and he STILL wishes things would have worked out and he could have ended up as an Aggie.

Forgive me if it has been asked already, but why is he not coming? I was really hoping Nigel would be Tai Wesley 2.0.

I thought he decommitted because Quetta didn’t go pro, but he still could have come. Wasn’t it his choice?

He didn't want to spend the 2020-21 season sitting behind Neemias or as a redshirt.

Which makes sense; I can't fault him for that. I, too, was looking forward to a strong big man, a la Tai Wesley, but things happen. Best of luck to Nigel, and I'm disappointed it didn't work out.

On that thread, though, was he at a point as a freshman to come into a mid-major team like ours and reasonably expect to be a starter as a 5? Or was it also that we're going to give Queta all the time we can, so even if he's #2, it's pretty distant? Were there concerns about us not having any strong/heavy 4/5 players, so development for his particular style hadn't been seen at USU under this coaching staff?

Neemias will be on the floor often this season. Another factor is that Neemias COULD possibly still RETURN for his SENIOR season. It's not a given that he leaves town after this season. Nigel just didn't want to spend that much time on the bench and that's okay. Our coaching staff and Eric Peterson in particular are VERY capable of developing the skills of big men regardless of their build

Saw that. Looks like a pretty athletic wing. Would be a nice piece.
