@BearkatsMBB picks up a commitment from 2027 PG Aiden Groce!

Groce played for Southeastern Prep, one of the top prep schools nationally as a Junior and then also played for AB elite on the EYBL circuit.

Groce is athletic, can create for others and fill it up.

Love this get.

The Conference USA Football Kickoff & Media Day begins next week up in Arlington, so it feels just about high time to get things going.

Here are not all, but five, key thoughts as Sam Houston Athletics enters its fourth year in the FBS era & in CUSA.

Sam Houston INF Ryan Franden tells me he intends to sign an UDFA deal with the Toronto Blue Jays this week.

In ‘26, he hit .311 with a .948 OPS. Hit nine homers & had 35 RBI.

One of the best hitters to come through Huntsville in recent memory.

Back in Bowers soon
