RonSwanson Posted April 25, 2021 Share Posted April 25, 2021 Going to the WAC! Should be a great move. I’m hearing that at least three seniors are returning for another year. Signed a top player out of Louisiana, Derick Tezeno and signed a Kansas point guard that was in the portal. Could be a great year! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
topher805 Posted April 27, 2021 Share Posted April 27, 2021 So many moving parts to this offseason. With the extra year of eligibility, it is kind of the wild west out there. SFA looks to benefit as it SOUNDS like David Kachelries, Roti Ware, and Gavin Kensmil are all coming back for another year. Cam Johnson said he is going closer to home, but is now posting about offers from Nevada soooo...Verbal Commits has Charlie Daniels as a transfer as well, but I can't and haven't heard anything on that one. Regardless, this team is going to be good, and apparently we had a zoom visit with another big recruit yesterday. Would be nice to snag another big for depth purposes, but if the seniors stay, this will be a VERY good team next year. Not to mention the new practice facility will be opening and will be a boost for the players and recruiting. Returning: Jaylin Posey Nigel Hawkins Calvin Solomon Nana Antwi-Boasiako Transferring Out: Kahree McDaniels Demiere Brown Cameron Johnson Charlie Daniels Transferring In: Latrell Jossell - Kansas Sadaidriene Hall (Sulphur Springs native) - East Tennessee State Signed: Derrick Tezeno (#1 player in Louisiana) Seniors With Option To Return: David Kachelries Roti Ware Gavin Kensmil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sfa made the most of it in basketball. I assume the facility is coming along as well. Hopefully the jacks become a routine player . I believe the WAC will be better overall. Especially since SFA, Sam, ACU and Lamar will join an already competitive conference. The WAC has better fan attendance over all than the Southland. New Mexico State has been the SFA of that conference I think. Also Grand Canyon should be very good... Maybe someone with better knowledge than me can comment further. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has been a one man show for a while, with New Mexico State running things. Grand Canyon finally made the leap everyone has been waiting for last season. Seattle will be good next year, but not sure what their future looks like (If it is even in the WAC). NMSU, SFA, GCU, Sam, and ACU will be the cream of the conference next year. Lamar made a good coaching hire, but lost a lot of key players to the transfer portal. I don't think it happens next year, but I do think the WAC can become a multi-bid league. Non-conference scheduling should get better for these schools and the quality of play in conference will also increase. Other sports are another discussion (Not a bad one), but for basketball purposes this is a great move for everyone involved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
topher805 Posted April 28, 2021 Share Posted April 28, 2021 SFA MBB tweeted out a commitment from Jonathan Aku (Texas A&M), but deleted the tweet a minute later. Dude was a 4* (#149 player in country) out of high school and is listed as 6'10" and 260 lbs. Underwhelming at A&M, but a chance at a new start...Hope this commitment holds. Could be huge.

For several years I have said if the Jacks could get a serviceable 6’9” or 6’10” guy with a little bulk, they would be a top 30 team most years. Not all world, just a 10 points and 10 rebounds type guy with a couple of blocks a game would work. Maybe Aku could fill that roll. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will have to coach him up some there, but glad to know he is already bought into the system... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RonSwanson Posted April 28, 2021 Author Share Posted April 28, 2021 AKU missed both summers at A&M so hopefully coaches can develop him. I don’t think he will guard as many bigs as he did in the SEC. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The quality of the coaches that have come through SFA the last 2 coaching staffs is impressive. From underwoods staff you have the OK State head coach, an assistant at Illinois and an assistant at Florida that I know of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many of the players have moved on to become high level coaches as well. Desmond Haymon is now an assistant at Louisiana Tech. IF Keller were to ever leave, Pastrana at Florida is a name I would reach out to...Mason and Cox as well... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
