CJC has said that once a player enters the portal, he is done at UC.

He wants gamers and not game players.

Scott Springer says Jordi Rodriguez is out too (not sure if he is first to report, but was first I saw) -- no returners unless anyone pulls their name out of the portal/is welcomed back.

The park! Which section? South of the lake man, myself. if you know, you know.

H section, but that was a long time ago.

Did you grow up in Forest Park? Are you the same age as Jamie? My son Jeff played select soccer with Jamie, and Jamie also played baseball.

CJC said last night on his radio show that he will look overseas for players. Give the man time. He may have some players in mind.

Kind of figured Eric would sign here. I grew up with his dad. His dad has some health challenges and he probably wanted to be close to home. He's a solid addition and should stay multiple years.

As Mick Cronin would say, this team would look great in an airport. Now go get some guards.

UC's staff directory has been updated to reflect assistant Ben Asher as "Offensive Coordinator," Johnny Hill as "Defensive Coordinator" and both Max Bent and Curran Walsh as being involved with "Offense and Analytics."

If the two USU players that are projected to transfer here, who were freshman this past season becomes real, their bios seem like they have lots of potential. If they stay to be the developed that's at least 3 or more years years to play considering the status of how things are today.

So far, 3 of the 4 commits have just 1 year left -- obviously lots of guys only stay for 1 year anyway, but hope to see some commitments from some talented multi-year guys also. Ideally you aren't doing a full roster rebuild in 2027 too.
