Ace Reiser became the fifth member of Utah State’s 2026 transfer portal recruiting class, joining the Aggies after spending his freshman season at the College of Southern Idaho. In that lone year, Reiser accomplished quite a bit. He helped lead CSI to a national runner-up finish and, for his individual efforts, earned JUCO All-American honors. Despite the recent narrative that junior college recruits are of higher quality, due in part to chaos around changing eligibility and the COVID years given to players, Utah State hasn’t drawn (directly) from the JUCO ranks much in the last few years. Only one player has come directly to Logan from a junior college team in the last six years. That was Kalifa Sakho, who came to USU from South Plains College to play under Danny Sprinkle. Before that, Craig Smith brought on guys like Kuba Karwowski and Alphonso Anderson to be role players for the team. Let’s dive into what helped make Reiser one of the few (though now more common under first-year head coach Ben Jacobson) exceptions to Utah State’s lack of direct JUCO recruiting.

Utah State University announced a new seating arrangement for the Dee Glen Smith Spectrum. The changes will feature an increase in courtside seating and, most notably, a shift in seating for its famous student section, the HURD. For decades, the iconic wall of 4,000 students wrapped around the baseline adjacent to the opposing bench and all the way across the sideline across both team’s benches. The positioning of students mere feet away from players on the court, and especially during inbounds plays on that sideline, made it one of the most unique in all of college basketball. The old seating arrangement for the Dee Glen Smith Spectrum prior to April 13, 2026 The new seating arrangement removes student seating from sections N, M, L and most of K.
