Players to Watch:

Joe Rahon- 6'1" Senior/Guard/Torrey Pines HS. This combo guard is the younger brother of San Diego State sharpshooter James Rahon. Joe had a big summer playing with the likes of Shabazz Muhammad and Winston Shepard on Dream Vision 17U while playing the point guard position. He boasts offers from SDSU, Boston College, Georgetown, USD, Fresno St., Portland, St. Marys, Loyola Marymount and New Orleans.

Matt Shrigley- 6'5" Senior/Forward/La Costa Canyon HS. This super athletic small forward pledged to San Diego St. in mid-June after turing down offers from Boston College, Oregon, Oregon St., Colorado, Arizona St. and Washington St. among others. He should fit in well with the aztecs, but needs to work on his strength so he can finish around the rim.

Dalante Dunklin- 5'11" Senior/Guard/Francis Parker HS. This undersized combo guard plays with intensity and has offers from USD, Cal-Poly, Denver and Portland St. and interest from SDSU, Colorado and UCSB. Has great upper-body strength but must grow is he wants to continue at both positions.

Sam Beeler- 6'10" Senior/Center/Poway HS. Sam runs very well in transition and his jump shot extends out to 20 feet. He has offers from SDSU, UC Davis, UCSB, USD, USF and Colorado. Very agile, but needs to bulk up and become more physical. He'll probably need a year to redshirt.

Adam Lacey- 6'8" Senior/Center/San Diego HS. Adam is long and skinny and has good jumping ability. He would probably be an outstanding volleyball player. He has offers from UC Irvine and CSU-Northridge and plans to wait until the season to make his decision. Very limited offensively, but can change the game with his length. He needs to develop more of an offensive game and to become more comfortable with the ball in his hands.

Cameron Rooks- 6'9" Junior/Center/Mission Hills HS. Cameron is the son of former Arizona Wildcat and NBA player Sean Rooks. Cameron has offers from Oregon St. and UC Irvine as well as interest from USC, UCLA and Notre Dame. He is a big kid, huge frame and long arms. He is a smart player that catches the ball well in the post. He doesn't run the floor well and fatigues. With better conditioning he should become a solid D1 player.

Dayton Boddie- 6'2" Senior/Guard/El Camino HS. Dayton is a very athletic and physical player. He can go and grab the lob and throw it down. Dayton chose UC Riverside in July over Long Beach St. He gets good lift on his shot but overall it needs improvement, he could also use improvement on his handling, especially in traffic.

Javion Watson- 6'1" Senior/Guard/San Ysdiro HS. Javion is a "score first" point guard but did average 5 assists per game for his HS team last season. He needs to improve on leadership skills and managing the game. Too often he settles for outside shots. Javion chose Long Beach St. in may for the opportunity to play as a freshman. He also had interest from SDSU, USD, Cal, UC Irvine and Marquette.

Garrett Galvin- 6'3" Senior/Guard/Torrey Pines HS. Garrett is an outstanding shooter that needs to improve his lead guard skills and his defensive awareness (but who doesn't?) Yale and a few other Ivy leagues are involved in his recruitment as well as UCSD.

Jerry Cobb- 6'2" Senior/Guard/Lincoln HS. Jerry is a combo guard that came off the bench for Hornets last season, runners up in the D2 state title. Great athlete with outstanding speed. He is between guard positions at this time and will need to focus on a certain position before schools get too involved.

Tyree and Tyrel Robinson- 6'4" Junior's/Guards/Lincoln HS. Tyree and Tyrel are twins and both combo guards, they play AAU for the Oakland Soldiers with Dominic Artis, Brandon Ashley and Aaron Gordon. Tyree is ranked 17th nationally by Rivals and Tyrel is ranked 70th. Many schools nationally are involved in their recruitment; Texas, UCLA, Arizona, Marquette, Florida St., Kansas, SDSU, Stanford, Washington, Oregon and Kentucky. They have made it clear, wherever they go, they will be a package deal. They both play too fast at times and become turnover prone, but they're both outstanding at attacking off the dribble and Tyree gets great lift on his shot. Tyrel is a divison 1 football prospect, but is a better defensive stopper than his brother Tyree and has a good mid-range game.
