Shamar's speed and 5" taller. Good first recruit. Let's keep them rolling in with a few more asst. coaches.

Unbelievable how quick he can make it up the floor. If the Aces are going to up the pace of play, this looks like a guy that can make it happen.

His dad is a longtime basketball coach and is currently an assistant at Boston College. Interesting that BC didn't have any interest but maybe they didn't need a PG. They do play in a tougher conference (ACC) though. Update: Was recently an assistant at BC as RPyke pointed out. Thanks for correcting me on this. |

His dad actually isn’t at BC anymore a new regime has taken over the program. Wonder if Scott wants to sneak on the bench as an assistant? Lol

Lord have mercy. What's not to like about this kid? Quicker than Givance, can shoot the three, and can finish at the rim. Reminds a bit of, dare I say, Ja Morant. In my humble opinion, the Aces will not finish last in the MVC next season. I think somebody let him slip through their fingers.

According to a Holy Cross website, this kid plays really tough, hard nosed basketball. Odd tha he wasn’t offered by NE schools other than Bryant, but we’ll see what we get.
Does show the breadth of Rags’s network, so hopefully the next kid to sign will be a big.

Does show the breadth of Rags’s network, so hopefully the next kid to sign will be a big. I think this kid was being recruited heavily by Lick & Staff and Rags just upheld the offer. Got a feeling the other commitment is the same way. All our old assistants & DOBO follow Spinelli on twitter, but neither Rags or Snow do. Maybe I read way too much into twitter (Probably so), but if I had to guess, that’s what’s happening here. |

Gabe has the quickness that’s for sure and the video shows he can finish at the rim and hit jumpers. His height will definitely be needed to play his position in the Valley. One of the problems Shimar got himself into is that he became predictable and opposing players would jam up the middle and reject almost everything he did. His size became a disadvantage.
By my count that leaves us with 3 scholarships available. We certainly could use another guard like Spinelli to help run the point and another big to provide bulk in the paint. My next question is what do we do with #13?

My next question is what do we do with #13? Looks like I answered my own question about another big. While I was commenting on Spinelli the post popped on another 6-10 center to share the middle with Kalle. Since we seem to be well supplied with paint players I expect the last scholarship will be banked or used for another quick point guard. Whether any of these Ragland additions were on any UE coaches rolodex doesn’t matter, David has recognized talent needed to fill the roster and sealed the deal. You’ve got to walk before you can run and I believe Coach Ragland has the Aces off to a pretty good trot. |

Wow, Gabe is really impressive! Physical and aggressive player who is not shy in attacking the basket! Yes, he is super quick and looks like he handles the ball really well! I found this tweet about him that I thought I'd share ...

Looks like a good signing. Tenacious and plays hard all the time with athletic ability. On the flip side Ja Morant? Curb the enthusiasm there brother😂
