A very good coaches show as always. I can’t speak highly enough of the job that Rags and his staff are doing and the foundation that this staff are laying down. They fully expect to make some noise in St. Louis. He already has the offseason schedule mapped out and mentioned that the portal will open up sometime around mid March.
He also spoke very highly of our fan base and how encouraging (the vast majority of) our fans are. However, around the 20-minute mark, there was some mention of threats. I hope these are very isolated cases and hopefully are being looked into and addressed. Our guys deserve our support and encouragement. The players and staff are putting in a lot of blood, sweat and tears and laying a foundation to bring us back a program that we can be proud of.
I believe in this staff and team and I would not underestimate them in St. Louis.
Update: The transfer portal opens on Monday, March 18, 2024 and closes on May 16.

In regards to the fans threats, I would hope that it is not actually coming from any actual UE fans. Ever since sports gambling as been legalized, you will occasionally see someone completely unaffiliated with a program harassing the team in comments on twitters because they failed to cover a spread. I would hope that is what is occurring and it’s not actual Aces fans threatening players.

Ziggy said he met with a recruit that “just committed” that knows Ragland and was excited to see proof that he’s building a winner and a culture here. Could that be Turnbull?

On the coach's show, Ziggy talked about the increase in ticket revenue since he and Coach Rags arrived. In 2022 - Spencer and Lickliter's last season - it was a little under $40k. This year it was slightly above $174k! Wow, what an increase!

Coach Rags did mention Yacine will not be here next year and they’re looking for a lead point guard and much positional size in the portal. Also sounds like Chuck will forsure not be returning, but surely doesn’t sound like any kind of bridge has been burned.

Also sounds like Chuck will forsure not be returning, but surely doesn’t sound like any kind of bridge has been burned. Rags certainly doesn't seem like the kind of man who burns bridges. He's as level-headed as they come, which is why I think he's the right guy for the job.

I just listened to the coaches show and was very impressed with Ziggy and Rags. These guys communicate, they are on the same page, no egos and will work tirelessly I believe in making UE athletics the best it can be in coming years and better than it has been in many, many years. Such a far, far cry and so much improved over what we had with the prevoius AD and coaching staff, night and day difference. The money generated in this year from 2022 is great and headed in the right direction. They are going to do it the right way and get the right kind of players and I feel we can be in the top half next year and maybe even better depending on who we land in the next 30 days. Looks like we have one down already.
Go Aces !
