What an effort we are already experiencing with Coach Ragland. Since getting the job it's like he has been shot out of a cannon. He and his staff to get all they have done so far is such a small period of time is over the top impressive. At this point, no one can question his work ethic.

The fact that Coach Rags got him to visit Butler then make the trip down here to visit as well just speaks volumes. Who knows if we even have a chance but just the simple fact that we’re sticking our neck out here is exciting. Recruits like these are ones the previous staffs just seemed scared to even approach. I hope JQ realizes that he would have every chance to be a star here for a community that’s starving to see successful basketball.

I hope JQ realizes that he would have every chance to be a star here for a community that’s starving to see successful basketball. I’m sure Rags has made him very aware of what his legacy could be here v the other schools recruiting him. The fact he’s already gotten him on campus is a massive W regardless of how the rest of the recruitment goes. Hopefully he can get Joey Brown & other recruits of that caliber to come to campus for official visits. JQ said an interview with IU reporters that he’d like to have his recruitment wrapped up prior to the start of his senior year, so hopefully we get some good news late in the summer from him!

Our coaching staff would have to pull a rabbit out of a hat to get JQ.

Our coaching staff would have to pull a rabbit out of a hat to get JQ. Not so sure on that. His only “big” offers have been from IU and Iowa (Butler was while Rags was there). All of his other offers are from mid majors such as the MVC and the MAC. Now, Sultan Adawale may take a rabbit being pulled from a hat to get as most of his offers are from P-5 schools.

Granted Sultan has mostly P-5 offers at this point in time but that doesn’t mean no other schools need apply.
UE has a history of signing high caliber players either via transfer or right out of HS. Jerry Sloan, Scott Hafner, Mark Jewel, Larry Humes, Kenny Perry and Richie Johnson to name a few. In those days we had a quality school and strong coaching staffs.
Today UE is a much improved school with an exceptional coaching staff. This could be a real difference maker for many recruits. Also, I believe I read that Coach Wilson has an inside track on Sultan that could end up swaying his decision to UE. If not, I like the doors we are knocking on.
