I was ready to throw in the damned towel

I was ready. I'm a fan and supporter of this program but three weeks ago I was wondering if this staff could get it done. Now we make some changed and we go with a QB that can move the ball and we look like an entirely different team. This looks like a team that can compete in every game left on the schedule and I think we could steal a win or two. @Luke Matheson what are you thinking? Bowl eligibility this year?

A-State Basketball Hodgson and Quarels out recruiting today

Arkansas State men's basketball head coach Bryan Hodgson and assistant Jamie Quarels have been out on the recruiting trail today.

Rivals.com basketball analyst Russ Woods informed me that Hodgson and Quarels were both at Winter Haven (FL) High School today to visit 3 Star SG Isaac Celiscar today.

Celiscar is a highly sought after recruiting, holding offers from Arkansas State, Chattanooga, Florida Atlantic, High Point, Indiana, Jacksonville State, New Mexico State, Presbyterian, Siena, South Florida, Stony Brook, and UIC.

UCF, and Yale are showing serious interest.

ON HIS GAME:

“I think I can do, like, everything really. I’m one of those hustle players, I rebound, I score, I can shoot it. I try to be active and do everything. I guess I’m an all-around player.”

ON WHAT HE IS WORKING TO IMPROVE:

“My outside shot. I think I shoot pretty well, but a lot of people think I can’t shoot. I just have to show it so I stay working on that a lot.”
