@dylan_lutey @madman_320 So happy he is back. There must have been 40 times this season that I said out loud “I don’t understand how that ball went in the hoop.” Has such a unique skill set. If his 3’s start falling next year, good golly watch out!

American guard Madden Collins (@madman_320) had a very strong freshman season averaging 13.4 PPG, 4.8 RPG, 2.0 APG, 1.3 SPG, 50.8% FG. Big time player to keep an eye on in the Patriot League.

@gregjones47 Thrilled to be able to watch 4 years of Greg at AU! Next year is shaping up to be special for the Eagles.

💙❤️

@TheFieldOf68 @IturbeJulen @AU_MBasketball Great to hear. Love having this do it all forward who had to play out of position all year! Hope to hear the same from the rest of the team!

NEWS: American sophomore forward Julen Iturbe will return to the Eagles next season, he told @TheFieldOf68. The 6-7 forward averaged 10.5 points, 4.9 rebounds and 2.3 assists in 2025-26. Led the team in rebounds/assists.

@AU_MBasketball @DJSandi_ Congrats DJ. Can’t wait to see you play for AU!

Back-to-back! 💍💍 Congratulations to incoming recruit @DJSandi_ and St. Thomas Aquinas on a second consecutive state championship.

@JohnDreker I got mine about a month ago. Great read! Fascinated to see the differences versus the MLB Pipeline list.

As of right now, Amazon says Christmas Eve delivery if you order today. In case you need a last minute gift for a Pittsburgh Pirates fan, check out the new Minor League Guide linked below. Currently ranked #8 among recently released baseball books

@AU_WBasketball @CoachK_Killion @Coach_Paige_ @niyabev Can’t wait to hear about who you find. What a great place to go to school!

Hitting the road this weekend to find future Eagles! 🦅 #GoEagles x #AUWBB

@AU_MBasketball @CoachDSimpkins Congratulations Coach. So well deserved! Looking forward to watching our young guys develop under your tutelage next year!

Our 𝒍𝒆𝒂𝒅𝒆𝒓! Coach Simp took us to the top, and now he’s staying for more. Congratulations to @CoachDSimpkins on ✍️ a contract extension through 2029-30. 📰 aueagles.link/contract

@MattModderno @AU_MBasketball Matt…thank you for remembering my request! This was a great interview!

@HolderSports @davidaldridgedc I was a freshman when David was a senior. So proud to have him as an alum, a fan and an advocate of AU basketball!

"This is a ONE bid league Lou, We don't get 7 bids, We don't get 12 bids,WE GET ONE. "We got to win THREE games in March to get to the tournament, no matter what you do in the regular season" @davidaldridgedc, AU class of 87, gives you a taste on why March is Real & Spectacular

@davidaldridgedc @PL_MBB @AU_MBasketball We are going dancing!!!

‘Nuff said. @PL_MBB @AU_MBasketball #Champs #GoingDancing

This is how you finish out the season!

@AU_MBasketball Also survived some of the worst officiating that I have seen in decades.

Facing foul trouble, OT pressure, and a relentless Lehigh squad, AU found a way to win. Behind 27 points from Matt Rogers and 23 from Elijah Stephens, the Eagles battled through 14 ties, nine lead changes, and 31 team fouls to grind out a 78-75 victory. aueagles.com/news/2025/2/8/…

Tied for 𝙁𝙄𝙍𝙎𝙏 in the Patriot League. 𝙁𝙄𝙑𝙀 wins in a row. That was a great college basketball game.

@CarsonM025 Carson, welcome to AU! Best wishes for success on both your academic and athletic career. I think you made a great choice to join this program.

@TinaRJones4 @gregjones47 Tina - you should be so proud. Your son is turning into a star. So much fun to watch his progression this year. You are right, gotta keep working as I am sure the league is noticing.

Proud of my guy and our Eagles. Keep working hard @gregjones47 🧡❤️💙🦅

@MattModderno @AU_MBasketball @matt_rogers4 What a great two days I have had! Huge AU win last night and then a Matt Modderno interview with an AU star today! Life is beautiful!

@KSebastian43 @ColbyGHoops @pr0ia @VerbalCommits @DeMathaHoops @WashWarriorsAAU @PrepHoopsMD Kade, Welcome to AU. Just a super place to go to school. Wishing you all the best in your athletic and academic career.

100% Committed

@CJEgametime @CoachDSimpkins Congrats Chris and welcome to AU. Excited to watch your development over the next 4 years. Best of luck on and off the court.

I am excited to announce my commitment to further my athletic and academic career at American University In Washington DC! I want to thank my coaches, my family, and the many teammates who all played a role in helping me get to the next level.

@MattModderno How about Nate Bollinger. Would love to hear about how recruiting works at a high academic mid major.

Who should be the next guest on Bleav in #DMVHoops?

@madman_320 Congratulations and welcome to AU. Wishing all the success in the world, both on and off the court. What a great place to go to school!
