Miles Byrd and Magoon Gwath are expected to be big pieces of a new-look SDSU basketball team this season.San Diego State made a historic run to the 2023 men’s basketball national championship game with a nine- and sometimes 10-man rotation.Three months ago, the Aztecs sent their five starters onto the floor at Boston’s TD Garden for a Sweet 16 matchup against eventual champion Connecticut. All of them, gone.
Even one of the returnees, Demarshay Johnson Jr., cut his braids, grew a beard and looks nothing like he did before.“You’re flipping rosters, everybody’s flipping rosters,” coach Brian Dutcher said of the turbulence of NIL inducements and unlimited transfers. “It’s not like the pros, where you keep your franchise player for six or seven years, if you’re lucky. It’s just the nature of college athletics now.
All three could get time at a 4-spot that is notably devoid of experience after the departures of all-American forward Jaedon LeDee, Jay Pal, Elijah Saunders and Micah Parrish . “I’m not looking for a piece. If I take a guy, it’s someone I feel would make a huge difference. But I don’t know if that guy’s out there right now.”
“Everybody knew it was something we weren’t great at last year,” Dutcher said. “We had great leaders with their play, but verbally maybe we weren’t as good as we could have been. This group has a good chemistry about them. They seem to be more verbal than last year’s group, which is a good thing.”
