Dutcher’s Rebuild Blueprint: SDSU Basketball After the Portal Bloodbath After losing 9 of their top 11 rotation players, can Brian Dutcher reload the right way? On this episode of Winning Pulse, we break down exactly how SDSU’s new roster fits into Coach Dutcher’s proven philosophy. We look at the massive holes left by Miles Byrd, BJ Davis, Magoon Gwath and others — then spotlight the young core that stayed: Elzie Harrington’s shooting, Tae Simmons’ rebounding, Latrell Davis’ skill, and Thokbor Majak’s rim protection. Next, we evaluate the new portal additions — Nick Anderson, Bear Cherry, David Torresani, Chance Gladden, Luka Skoric — and how well they match Dutcher’s defense-first culture, freedom-within-framework offense, and high-character approach. Good fits? Red flags? Growing pains ahead? This is the ultimate deep dive on whether the 2026-27 Aztecs are built for a bounce-back or another transition year.
