Truly great news. It probably means we have Lickliter through the term of his contract. If we were fortunate enough to get Newton to return, we’d have some experience. Then with a couple of additional D1 talent transfers, we’d be capable of a .500 season.
Not only is the news about Sekou good news, but it appears that Trey Hall is also getting geared up for next season. Put his 6-8/9 size in with Sekou, and we could have a serious inside game. Not being reliant on the 3 ball as our primary strategy would be huge. My guess is that we see 2 more signings during the next week or 10 days. Maybe we have some recruiting momentum.

Very happy I was wrong. So very glad Sekou signed. Though I (nor should anyone else) expect him to be a "dominant NBA" type of player, he does represent a significant upgrade from what the Aces have had before. Now, if Evansville can find a decent backup center and a good point guard, Aces might actually squeeze out a few wins. Perhaps, I am the odd ball here, but I don't think Sekou's signing rules out Lickliter not returning. I sincerely believe, (though may be wrong...again) is that Sekou came because there is plenty of playing time awaiting him, regardless of who the coach would be, and that he liked the school itself. This current coaching staff can't sell anything else but those two things. If Lick gets handed his walking papers, nothing changes.

This is good news for the Aces. The coaches need to stay busy and bring in some more transfers. Thank you Sekou for joining the team.

I thought this 5 second video of a block by Sekou was worth reposting here. This video was from September 2020:

One thing I do not see mentioned which is in our favor vs Akron and many other schools is the conference we play in. We play in a very good and well respected conference with good competition that is only going to get better with Belmont and Murray State coming aboard. When I was deciding on the school right for me it was important to me to know I was going to play good teams that would make me better.

I'm watching the coach intro stream and it sounds like Sekou is signed.

I'm watching the coach intro stream and it sounds like Sekou is signed. Ziggy said he talked to Sekou on the phone before the meeting and it sounded like Sekou was very much on board. If there was any question that he was wavering I don’t think the call would have been mentioned.
