So looking at our official roster it looks like we could have four roster spots to fill in 2023 (not counting any potential transfers):
Marvin is a 5th year senior;
Kenny is listed as a redshirt senior;
Gage and Antoine are listed as seniors.
The last three might have a COVID year if they and the coaching staff decide to use.
We have hit a home run on our first two 2023 recruits in 6’11” Michael Day and 6’5” Braylon Jackson.

I believe Kenny came here with the intention of using the COVID year and being an Ace for two seasons. The other two I believe we will end up being open scholarships, but that could change depending on this season. I’m guessing we have 3 graduation scholarships + a transfer at the seasons end. I’m guessing the staff will wait and see on Tanner Cuff still, but are done with other high schoolers for the 23 class and will try to fill out the roster via the portal this spring. |

Hopefully recruits will see this up tempo style of play and good coaching as a major plus. More than winning right now for recruits is, can I flourish playing ball at a school.
Seems to me a kid can flourish in our system. Basic ball screens and taking smart open shots. I didn’t see Rags get pissed at anyone’s shot. Just Let’em play!

If you’re a recruit, you had to have liked the offensive flow, energy on the bench, and post game celebrations you saw from the team. Seems like Rags is building a culture & system that a lot of recruits would enjoy being a part of. |

I’ve seen ISUr announcing all their signings today. I wonder when we will get to officially welcome out ‘23 recruits?

We have now maxed out our expected scholarships for next season with HS recruits. I don’t think we have any outstanding offers to players that haven’t committed besides Sultan Adewale, which seems like a long shot to come to UE. I’m guessing Cuff is our last commitment until portal season unless Sultan decides he wants to be an Ace

So we have filled all of the current openings during the fall? That’s a refreshing change.

Not only are we filled up… we are continuing to recruit for class of ‘23 in case someone leaves. Just posted in ‘23 thread that someone is on a visit tonight. Very nice to see a proactive approach to recruiting

Looks like Rags agrees with us that the roster needs some improvements. Can’t wait to see what they’ve got in store for us

It is crazy to me how people are taking their frustrations out on our only good players but I haven’t heard a word about several players that consistently produce next to nothing for the team. Toumi and Strawbridge have their limitations certainly, but the lack of help from the rest of the roster let’s teams focus on taking away all their strengths because the rest of the roster has no strengths |

Some of the coaches posted that they were having dinner at Cavanaugh's tonight. That typically means that they were hosting a recruit on an 'official' visit. Any ideas?
