Does anyone know who is in charge of purchasing the fan apparel at the bookstore? If we know, maybe we could start a pressure campaign

Regarding Jalen Harris: Does anyone know what happened or why he isn't on the roster?

Axel Eason, QB, and son of Aggie HOFer Bo Eason, commits to the Aggies per his IG

I had always held out hope that The Grad might rise like a phoenix in The Commons downtown, and occupy the old Whole Foods location.

Aggies sign 6’ 5” SG, Nils Cooper. He played one year at Pepperdine. Also son of LA Laker great, Michael Cooper.

Same here. I take a big gasp, cross my fingers, and hope for good news about TY :pray:

I think that video is current-ish. I believe Pepper and Rocak are still on campus (saw Rocak recently).

Agree. :pray: that he returns.

From TY's Instagram: "I'M BACK" I will be declaring for the NBA Draft while maintaining by eligibility. Excited for the process and ready for the journey.

Not exactly sure what that all means . . . Does it mean he's exiting the portal and returning unless he gets drafted?

Same here. I always believed that the moment that TVD retired, that it was Coach Gross' job for the taking. No knock on Coach Paye; she's got a very high ceiling AND her Stanford roots run very, very deep (born at Stanford hospital, brother was a 2-sport star for The Cardinal, walked on and won the point guard job for TVD, etc., etc., ...

No head coaching experience but the athletic department may see this as the safe and obvious choice - keep continuity, keep the recruits, and someone who can easily lean on TVD for advice.

My thoughts exactly.

TY is in the portal, per verbal commits and his IG feed.

Regarding the admission challenge . . . I, too, heard that from Hawk. I've heard a few whispers in Athletics that the admission problem is being addressed and remedied. No verifiable intel, but those are a few "whispers" I've heard. Plainly, Davis needs a sensible "lane" in order to get student-athletes in to school in line with the pace and timing of other schools. Some of our best, most locked-in transfer recruits have signed elsewhere because we couldn't notify them of admission quickly enough. Obviously a risk not worth taking.

Cal has some guys in the portal that would look good in an Aggie uniform. Peja Stojaković's kid, Andrej (formerly of Jesuit), is leaving Stanford after a productive freshman season. Playing close to home might be an attractive option for him. And I'm sure Coach Les and Peja are very familiar with one another. The Ivies also have a couple of grads in the portal.

It's been a pleasure to watch to watch Pepper grow into the outstanding basketball player that he is today over the last 5 years. He is certainly one of the greatest Aggie players ever to wear the uniform. — BlueGoldAg

100% agree.

Rumor has it that the admissions office is not a friend of athletics. Very, very slow. So slow, that kids commit elsewhere by the time we get around to extending admission.

Hmmmm . . .

Pepper is going to declare for the draft but retain eligibility

Wait?! What did he do? I saw coaches rush in but no questionable behavior.

Just saw the video of Coach Turner charging at the refs. Security had to step in. Bad look for UCI.

Foul on that last shot by TY. Tough loss to choke down. Ags fought hard. On to the next. GO AGS!!!

I was also happy to see the Aggie Pack spirit leaders appropriately channeling the Aggie Pack energy. For example, hyping up the noise when the Ags are trying to stop USD on 3rd downs. Also, keeping them quieter when we are trying to convert on 3rd down when we are on offense so our guys hear the QB

Ugh. And THAT'S the kind of BS that rubs me the wrong way. :rage:
