Ended sooner than we wanted, but these guys helped take the program to the next level this year. Lots to learn and continue to improve on. Excited for the future of the program
Excited to get to work at Converse, it’s a special place with all kinds of potential!!! Very thankful for my 4 years at SWU, and all the great players we had a chance to coach.
Cannot express how proud I am of this team! God has blessed this team so much. 1 Peter 2:7 was our team verse this year, and this team has become cornerstone of our program. God works in amazing ways. Truly thankful for all the support form everyone this year. On to the NCAA!!
Thank you to my wife
@spenser_pasqua

These guys accomplished more than anyone ever thought they could,& still had more to do together. I loved coming to work everyday to be around them & watching them grow as men. They uplifted an entire Univeristy and made everyone associated with SWU proud! One proud coach!
As the school year comes to a close, this past year was a year that will be in the NCAA record book forever, as the most improved team in the country. Special congrats to Zo, Cam, and Diego in graduating from SWU today! Great way to go out!
We will be previewing our signees in our first recruiting class over the next week. Up first, was our first signee Ta'Jay Dunlap. A 4A All-State PG from Westwood HS. He was also 2X all region, and a top 50 player in the '19 class in SC. Excited to have him @ SWU!
#NewSWU
Proud of Ta’Jay.. challenged him to be a more complete PG this summer and he answered the challenge.. tied for 2nd in scoring, lead us in rebounding, as a PG, assists & minutes played. As tough as they come.
Our 4th signee, 6’6 F Solomon Smith. He spent last season at Clarendon CC in TX. As a freshman he played at Queens and was a key contributor on their Final 4 team. Solomon is a versatile player who can play both the F & G position!
Excited to keep building the Converse basketball program! This will be a great chance to hear about the future of the program and be evaluated by our coaching staff!

HBD to this beautiful, funny, sweet, independent, & determined, 3 year old today! You were born then night after our 1st blue/white game at SWU when neither team scored a point for the 1st 10 minutes (wasn’t stellar D)! Somethings a coach will never forget 🤷♂️ HBD Riley!
Excited to speak tomorrow @ the virtual basketball coaches clinic. Have enjoyed all of the presentations so far, and have been able to learn a lot. Looking forward to tomorrow afternoon!
Our 1st “Warrior 4 Life” meeting tonight. Our guys learned about interviewing for a job, building a career, moving up the ladder, & family/life balance. Educating them on life after basketball. Great night, and great speaker! Our guys got better as people tonight!
Some prospects are really missing out by being “too good for D2.”
