6-foot-6 sophomore Elijah Mahi has returned to play for West Valley College. In July, he announced a commitment to play at Santa Clara but something obviously went awry. Maybe he never signed and the situation never moved beyond a commitment but that's not was written in several accounts.
"Elijah Mahi spent last season at West Valley (Junior) College, where he went to improve his academic standing after failing to get a Division 1 scholarship out of high school. That move was a success as Mahi averaged 17.5 points, 6.5 rebounds and 2.7 assists on 51-40-65 shooting splits before being Canada’s top scorer on the U23 GLOBL JAM team this summer. It was enough to earn him a scholarship to Santa Clara but, due to unknown reasons, he is back for a second year at West Valley."
This July West Valley College athletics article has him accepting a Santa Clara scholarship.
Having Mahi back is a big boost for West Valley Coach Danny Yoshikawa as Mahi was "selected to the 2022-23 CCCAA All-State Team and was the Coast Freshman of the Year, the Coast-South Defensive Player of the Year, and a member of the All-Coast 1st Team and the All-Coast Freshman Team. He topped the Vikings with 17.5 points per game on 50.8% shooting, along with 6.5 rebounds, 2.7 assists and 1 steal per contest."

6-foot-8 Kendall Munson played at Capital Christian High as a freshman and a sophomore before heading to the Northwest. He signed with Pepperdine but is now at Portland State and averaged 2.5 points and 1.8 rebounds last season. He shot 54% overall and blocked 18 shots.

- San Francisco 84, St. Francis PA 52 full boxscore
- San Jose State University 117, Bethesda 72 full boxscore Not sure why these games are scheduled as Bethesda didn't have anyone over 6-foot-5 on its roster. The Spartans lacked physicality as Robert Vaihola, their beefy frontcourter, will likely miss the season. The new center Adrame Diongue has promise but needs weight and muscle in order to have any sort of an offensive game. Like with tonight and the other night against UC Irvine, the Spartans will likely have a different top scorer from game to game. It was good to see Myron Amey healthy after back-to-back ankle surgeries. 6-foot-9 Tibet Gorener's shooting % never came around last season but tonight he looked like one guy who can work for his own shot. Promising freshman guard Latrell Davis garnered a high number of free throws, a definite need for SJSU in the backcourt. Liked Marc Spears doing color commentary.
