What was annoying was Ron complaining about the transfer portal and us losing kids as if this is only unique to YSU. Everyone operates under the same rules and others have figured it out - we clearly have not.

I honestly felt bad for not renewing my season tickets for this year - today I feel vindicated. DP & Strollo should have had to answer all offseason why there was such an exodus of players - I think we found out yesterday. This program is on life support - Bring on basketball season!!!

Really excited for this upcoming season - they have been promoting the team so well on social media.

pretty wild to see the roster this offseason absolutely implode... it has been a slow burn... 11-defensive players (2-deep depth) have entered the portal so far... will us fans get answers from Coach on what's happening??

Coach Faulkner was featured on Penguin Gameday yesterday evening. He did a lot better in that setting. Coach Jackson was on, too. She is going to be terrific. Such an exciting time for hoops!

Definitely believe that this was a solid hire - but it was a pretty underwhelming & flat press conference.

Few take aways:

-All players with eligibility have returned (6)
-Danny Reese has been promoted, Evan Faulkner (brother) has been named, Mark Richmond (former director of operations at YSU) has been named, too.
-Much of the offense & defense will remain the same

Thoughts...
-The confirmation of returning players was definitely welcomed news
-think it is a great and well-deserved promotion for Danny.
-his brother, Evan, specialized in recruiting, scouting, and player development for UPIKE.
-Was expecting a little more excitement and pull back the curtain more.

Losing Ben Asher is going to be tough. He was on the Silver Waves 2024 Rising Stars for Mid-Majors and I believe he was responsible for a lot of recruiting. I feel pretty good about Faulkner - great hire!

he is probably leveraging this for a raise - well deserved raise.

Boy that sun was cookin'!

I really had no idea how they were keeping track of the points? The halftime D-Line vs O-Line fielding punts was fun.

I was pretty impressed with the D-Line - it seemed they often times had their way with the O-Line. LBs were flying around making some nice plays.
