UTSA Men's Basketball announced the 12 newcomers to the roster today. These 12 join Nazar Mahmoud, the lone Roadrunner from last season to stick around.

Media in the form of me and Jerry Briggs met with UTSA Men's Basketball Head Coach Austin Claunch this afternoon. The exclusivity was likely due to the speed with which the media availability was put together and the fact that a Spurs media event was also happening at the same time.

Here is the video interview with Claunch:

UTSA will be hosting 190+ plus recruits for tomorrow's Spring Game:

Both the UTSA men's and women's basketball teams open the season tonight.

The men are at home against Western Illinois. First tip at 7 p.m.

It is year eight of the Steve Henson era and could be the final year of his era in the Convo. Roadrunners will be trying to win at least 11 games for the first time since the 2020-21 season. UTSA is picked to finish last in the AAC men's preseason standings

The women are on the road at Arizona State. First tip at 7 p.m.

The women's program seems to be climbing under Karen Aston and will hope to have a good first year in the American Conference after making the conference semifinals last year before departing Conference USA. The Roadrunner women are picked to finish eighth in the conference preseason poll.

Both teams won their exhibition games leading up to the season. The Men beat Trinity and McMurry handily and the Women beat St. Mary's last week.

Consider this the go to thread for updates from both hoops programs as the season goes along.

SAN ANTONIO – UTSA Vice President for Intercollegiate Athletics Lisa Campos on Sunday announced Austin Claunch as the seventh head coach of the Roadrunners’ men’s basketball program. Claunch, who calls Houston his hometown and currently serves as an assistant coach at national power Alabama, led Nicholls to a pair of Southland Conference titles as head coach.



“I am extremely excited to welcome Austin Claunch as our next head men’s basketball coach,” Campos said. “He had great success as the head coach at Nicholls and has gained valuable experience at some of the top programs in the country. He has high energy, a relentless work ethic and a strong basketball IQ. What really stood out to me is that when we talked to people about Austin, what kept coming up time and again was his unique ability to connect with people from all backgrounds and build great is completely aligned with my vision and our values as a department and an institution. He will be a terrific leader of our student-athletes and I am confident he will elevate our program to new heights.”



In his lone season with Alabama, Claunch has helped the Crimson Tide to a 21-11 record and an Associated Press Top-25 national ranking. Alabama currently sits at No. 9 in the latest NCAA NET rankings.



"This is genuinely a dream come true being from Texas and growing up in this state,” Claunch said. “I take a lot of pride in being a Texan and knowing the passion of the community as a whole. The potential of the UTSA program really excites me. I think we can be really good for a long time, but I don't think it will take a long time to be really good. I want to thank Dr. Eighmy, Dr. Campos and the whole administration for this opportunity. I am ready to get to work."



In five seasons as the head coach at Nicholls, Claunch won 90 games, recorded a pair of 20-win seasons and directed the Colonels to Southland Conference regular-season championships in 2021 and 2022. He was the 2020-21 Southland Conference Coach of the Year. Claunch served as the youngest head coach at the NCAA Division I level for three seasons (2018-21) and was named to ESPN’s 40 under 40 list for collegiate men’s basketball coaches in 2020.



In Claunch’s second year as the Nicholls head coach, he took a team that was projected to finish 11th in the Southland Conference and secured 21 wins, marking just the fourth 20-win season in program history at the time. That season included a win against Atlantic Coast Conference foe Pittsburgh.



In 2020-21, Claunch led his team to the outright Southland Conference crown with a 14-2 league tally. He coached three All-Southland honorees that season, including first-team selection and Newcomer of the Year Ty Gordon. A year later, he directed his squad to its second consecutive Southland Conference regular-season title and the program’s first-ever appearance in the National Invitation Tournament. Despite losing nearly 70 percent of the team’s scoring from the year prior, Claunch’s Colonels notched a 21-win season. In 2022, Gordon became just the second player in school history to be named Southland Conference Player of the Year.



Prior to taking over the head coaching position at Nicholls, Claunch spent two years as an assistant coach for the Colonels under current South Alabama head coach Richie Riley. He worked closely with Riley on offensive and defensive schemes and game plans and coordinated all basketball camps. Claunch was part of an historic 2017-18 campaign that included the most wins (21) since 1995 and the best Southland Conference record (15-3) since 1998. Among the players he worked with daily were guards Roddy Peters (SLC Newcomer of the Year, First Team SLC), Jahvaughn Powell (All-SLC Defensive Team), Lafayette Rutledge (Single-season three-point record holder) and Tevon Saddler (All-SLC Second Team).



Claunch spent three seasons at Clemson, two as a graduate manager and one as an assistant coach, where he primarily coordinated video services for the Tigers. Prior to joining Clemson, he spent the 2012-13 season as Director of Player Development at George Mason.



Claunch was born in Buenos Aires, Argentina, and raised in Houston, Texas. He played high school basketball at Strake Jesuit College Preparatory as a three-year starter and a two-time team captain. Claunch was a two-time recipient of Strake’s Kenneth McGregor Award, based on his leadership and dedication on and off the court.



He holds a bachelor’s degree in political science with a minor in religion from Emory in 2012. Claunch earned a master’s degree in human resource development from Clemson in August 2015.



Claunch was a four-year starter and two-time captain at NCAA Division III member Emory University from 2008-12. He ranks first in Emory history in career assists (580), assists per game (5.8) and minutes played (3,132). He was a three-time All-Conference First Team honoree at Emory and a member of the University Athletic Association’s 25th Anniversary Team.

HEAD COACHING RECORD





WHAT THEY’RE SAYING



“Austin is one of the hardest working guys in the business. His work as a head coach at Nicholls was unbelievable with one of the lowest budgets in the country. He won two championships in his last three years in the Southland, and that is a credit to his hard work and energy.”

Nate Oats, Alabama Head Coach



“People enjoy being around Austin. He’s a fun guy. He’s also very bright and knows how to get his message across if there’s work to be done. He can handle his business, but he’s also one of those guys that relates to people and enjoys people.”

Brad Brownell, Clemson Head Coach



“He’s a fantastic X’s and O’s coach on the court and very innovative with what he does. What makes him special to me is his ability to form relationships. He’s the guy all the guys gravitate towards all the time. It doesn’t matter where they come from or their backgrounds.”

Richie Riley, South Alabama Head Coach



“Austin has the confidence and courage to be successful at any level of coaching. He’s got great energy and he’s very knowledgeable of the game. The only word I can use – he’s kind of fearless. When he came to work for me at George Mason, he treated the players with respect, but they also respected him because he was a guy that didn’t back down.”

Paul Hewitt, Former George Mason/Georgia Tech Head Coach



“Austin had it in his mind to go into coaching before he came to Emory. He talked about coaching when he got out of school. Austin wanted to compete. He’s a competitor.”

Jason Zimmerman, Emory Head Coach

All signs point to Alabama assistant Austin Claunch as UTSA’s next head basketball coach.

This thread will be the place for all things regarding spring football practice.

IRVING, Texas — Commissioner Mike Aresco has announced the American Athletic Conference’s 111-game football schedule, including the 56-game conference slate, as the league begins a historic season in 2024.



The 2024 season will be the second in which The American has 14 teams under its banner, and the first with Army West Point as a football-playing member. Each of the 14 teams in The American will play eight conference games in 2024.



UTSA is set for its second season as a member of The American with four conference games scheduled for the Alamodome and four league road matchups. The Roadrunners also have four non-conference contests, hosting Kennesaw State and Houston Christian at home as well as traveling to Texas and Texas State in their fifth season under head coach Jeff Traylor. In fact, nine of their 12 regular season games will be played in the state of Texas.



Fans can purchase season tickets online or by calling the UTSA Ticket Office at 210-458-UTSA (8872) from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday excluding holidays. Current UTSA football season-ticket holders may renew their tickets by logging into their UTSA Account Manager.



The Roadrunners will open AAC play on the road against East Carolina on Saturday, Sept. 28, in Greenville, North Carolina. UTSA defeated the Pirates, 41-27, on Oct 28, 2023, at the Alamodome in their first-ever meeting on the gridiron.



Following the first of two idle weeks, UTSA will travel to Houston to face Rice on Saturday, Oct. 12. The Roadrunners have won the last eight meetings with the Owls, including a 34-14 home victory on Nov. 11, 2023, and they lead the all-time series, 8-3.



UTSA will welcome Florida Atlantic to the Alamo City for its AAC home opener on Oct. 19. The Roadrunners raced past the Owls, 36-10, on Oct. 21, 2023, in Boca Raton for their first win in four meetings.



The Roadrunners will close out the month with a road date against Tulsa on Oct. 26. This will mark UTSA’s second meeting with the Golden Hurricane and first since a 34-15 road victory on Nov. 2, 2013.



UTSA will have three consecutive home games in the month of November at the Alamodome.



The Roadrunners will host Memphis on Nov. 2 in their second meeting with the Tigers. UTSA rallied for a 31-28 road triumph on Sept. 25, 2021, in the only previous matchup.



After their second idle week of the fall, the Roadrunners will host North Texas on Friday, Nov. 15. UTSA has won the past three meetings with the Mean Green, including a 37-29 road win last November, and leads the all-time series, 7-5.



The Roadrunners are set to host Temple on either Friday, Nov. 22, or Saturday, Nov. 23. UTSA scored a 49-34 win last October in Philadelphia in the only previous meeting.



UTSA will wrap up the regular season slate on the road on Nov. 30 taking on Army in West Point, New York. The Roadrunners were victorious in overtime, 41-38, on Sept. 10, 2022, in their only previous trip to the Empire State. The Black Knights outlasted UTSA, 37-29, last September in the Alamodome to improve to 3-1 all-time in the series.



The 10th American Athletic Conference Football Championship, which has been broadcast on ABC in each of the last nine years, will feature the top two teams in the final single-division regular-season standings on Friday, Dec. 6. It will be televised either on ABC or ESPN in prime time.



The Roadrunners will kick off their 14th season of play on Saturday, Aug. 31, when they welcome Kennesaw State to the Alamodome. This will mark UTSA’s first meeting with the Owls, who are transitioning to FBS in their 10th season of football and first as a member of Conference USA this year.



UTSA then will make the first of two short trips north on I-35 on Sept. 7 to face Texas State in San Marcos. The Roadrunners and Bobcats will meet for the second straight season and sixth time overall in a series led by UTSA, 5-0. The Roadrunners scored a 20-13 victory in the last meeting on Sept. 9, 2023, in front of 49,342 fans, the second-largest home crowd in program history.



The Roadrunners will meet 2023 College Football Playoff semifinalist Texas for the second time in the past three seasons on Sept. 14 in Austin. The Longhorns pulled away in the second half for a 40-21 home triumph in the only previous matchup on Sept. 17, 2022.



UTSA will close out the non-league slate on Sept. 21 with a home contest against Houston Christian. This will mark the Roadrunners’ first meeting with the Huskies, an FCS member of the Southland Conference who are entering their 11th season of play.



American Athletic Conference teams figure to be well-positioned for a second appearance in the College Football Playoff in 2024. The new playoff format allows for the five highest-ranked conference champions to reach the 12-team field — a distinction The American would have earned six times in the first nine years of the CFP era.



Kickoff times and television designations for the first three weeks of the season, as well as the season-long weeknight games, will be finalized by June 1. The rest of the schedule will fall under the customary 12-day and six-day selection processes.



The Roadrunners welcome back 51 lettermen, including 16 starters, and are coming off 9-4 campaign that saw them claim the first bowl win in program history with a 35-17 victory over Marshall in the 2023 Frisco Bowl. UTSA posted a 7-1 mark to finish third in The American in its debut season in the league.



2024 UTSA Football Schedule

* American Athletic Conference game

Schedule is subject to change

Dear Roadrunner Family:



Turning the page on a new year afforded me a natural opportunity to reflect on all we have accomplished together for UTSA Athletics and to share a vision for the continued success of Roadrunners Athletics.



I am excited to share with you that, thanks to incredible institutional support, fundraising efforts and newly identified financial opportunities, we will be investing an estimated $57 million into facilities and capital projects for UTSA Athletics. This includes a new, state-of-the-art volleyball and basketball training facility that will provide our student-athletes with 24-hour access to a top-tier training center.



Over the next five years, this emphasis will also allow us to focus on existing facility enhancements for baseball and softball, including player development centers for both sports, a nutrition performance center for all student-athletes and a covered football pavilion. As the College Football Playoff expands to 12 teams in 2024, it is important for us to ensure our opportunities for CFP participation are maximized.



Bringing this ambitious vision to reality will be a collective effort, and your support is paramount.



A Bold Step Forward



A common theme among our student-athletes, coaches, staff and supporters is that there has never been a more exciting time to be a Roadrunner. Last year, I challenged our athletics community to take a bold step forward as we moved into the American Athletic Conference on July 1. Our move into the American has increased our competitive excellence and provided countless new opportunities for our student-athletes, while further elevating the national profile of our great university.



Thanks to you, we have a lot to be proud of this year. We have achieved countless milestones in game attendance and ticket sales. We saw a record number of donors and philanthropic gifts through the Roadrunner Athletic Fund, led by Harvey Najim’s $2 million gift to our football program and a $500,000 contribution from Ed and Linda Whitacre as part of a joint gift to UTSA Athletics and the Margie and Bill Klesse College of Engineering and Integrated Design. Our annual sponsorship revenue increased by more than 20 percent and we welcomed 16 new corporate partners in 2023-24, due in large part to our new partnership with Playfly Sports.



This year our football team won the first bowl game in program history, we opened a new facility on our Park West campus, in partnership with Bexar County, to support our soccer and track & field athletes, and we inducted six incredible trailblazers into the inaugural class of the UTSA Athletics Hall of Fame. For the third time in four years, UTSA Athletics reached a school-record NCAA Graduation Success Rate with an 89 percent GSR in the 2023 report.



We are taking that bold step forward.



A Vision For The Future



Although we are grateful for the past year’s successes, this is just the beginning and there is a lot of work to be done. An emphasis on student-athlete success in the classroom, graduation and community involvement remains our core objective, but developments over the past several years have caused institutions nationwide to reimagine the relationship between student-athletes and athletics departments. For instance, Name, Image and Likeness, widespread conference realignment, ever-evolving rules regarding transfer student-athletes and litigation across the country will continue to chart the landscape. This presents incredible opportunities for our nearly 400 student-athletes, but also some new and unique challenges. Further, we know that state-of-the-art facilities are imperative for attracting and retaining the best talent in all of our sports, and providing our student-athletes with first-class support in academics, strength and conditioning, athletic training and nutrition must continue to be an important focus.



As an institution, we benefit greatly from the support of our colleagues and peers who believe deeply in the vision of UTSA Athletics. Since my arrival in 2017, our Athletics operating budget has grown more than 50 percent from $30.1 million to close to $50 million, made possible largely because of institutional financial support.



To remain competitive, we will need to continue to enhance our existing facilities as well as build new ones. Moving forward, additional university funding for the Department of Athletics beyond those allocated for operating expenses, will be directed to capital projects. Along with our partnerships with the City of San Antonio and Bexar County, the university’s additional commitment will now focus

directly on real estate monetization and the sale of university land to provide the capital we need to

remain competitive.



Thanks to the visionary leadership and support of President Taylor Eighmy and the university leadership team, this important commitment by the university, will be critical in helping us meet our $57 million goal in facilities enhancements and capital projects. Under the leadership of Chief Enterprise Development Officer and Executive Vice President for Business Affairs Veronica Salazar, the institution has doubled its financial support of our programs over the past five years.



However, we cannot rely solely on university funding to address the pressing need to provide diversified opportunities for our student-athletes, and to build state-of-the-art facilities and programs to serve all Roadrunners. We also need philanthropic support to fully realize the capital improvements.



Will you join us in taking a BOLD step forward for UTSA Athletics?



Your continued support is imperative to our future success, especially for our facility enhancements, our bold operational objectives and to support the over $7 million annual cost of student-athlete scholarships. While today’s announcement will help spark the start of needed facility projects, it is just that - only a start.



A heartfelt thank you for the support you have shown for our programs and our phenomenal student-athletes. I am incredibly optimistic about our future, and I look forward to partnering with you to make this vision a reality.



Sincerely,





Lisa Campos, Ed.D.

UTSA Vice President for Intercollegiate Athletics

SAN ANTONIO — UTSA head football coach Jeff Traylor on Monday announced several updates to the football staff, including the hiring of Parker Cundiff as director of scouting and Corey Jordan as director of player personnel.



Cundiff comes to San Antonio from Washington State, where he served as lead scout and NFL liaison in 2023 after spending the previous season as transfer scout, assisting the recruiting and scouting unit with a primary focus on transfer players.



Prior to arriving in Pullman, Cundiff spent the previous seven seasons at Texas A&M Kingsville. He started his tenure with the Javelinas in January 2015 as a graduate assistant, helping with the defensive line and special teams. He then served as assistant special teams coordinator, recruiting coordinator and tight ends/fullbacks coach from 2016 to 2019. In 2020, he was the director of football operations, recruiting coordinator and tight ends coach before moving over to the running backs and assisting with special teams in 2021.



While in Kingsville, Cundiff coached all-conference performers in long snapper Clay Engelhardt, kicker Julio De La Garza, fullback Kyle Williams, who was a second-team all-super region selection, and tight ends Stehly Reden, Torrey Thomas and Brent Hertel, who also earned honorable mention All-America accolades.



A product of San Antonio Warren High School, Cundiff was a punter and kicker for UTSA during its practice season in 2010, as well as in the first two seasons in 2011-12.



The son of former Texas A&M-Kingsville head coach Richard Cundiff, Cundiff graduated from UTSA in 2012 with a bachelor's degree in English with a minor in communications. He earned his master’s degree in education administration from Texas A&M-Kingsville in 2018.



Jordan joins the UTSA staff after spending the past five years as assistant head coach and defensive coordinator under Marcus Shavers at McKinney High School near Dallas, helping turn the program into a state contender. During the 2023 season, he was the interim head coach for two games, leading the Lions to victories in both contests. McKinney finished the year with a 9-3 overall record after advancing to the area round of the Class 6A Division II playoffs. He helped lead McKinney to the third round of the playoffs in 2022, as the Lions finished the campaign with an 8-5 mark. He helped develop numerous NCAA Division I players, including Xavier Filsaime.



Prior to his tenure at McKinney High, Jordan was the assistant head coach and defensive coordinator for three of his four seasons (2015-18) at West Mesquite High School in the Metroplex. In his second season with the program, the Wranglers advanced to the second round of the state playoffs. He also served as the recruiting coordinator and helped aid more than 40 student-athletes earn scholarships to college, including the late Ty Jordan and Aaron Lowe, whose No. 22 jersey numbers have been retired forever at Utah. He also was the head track & field coach at West Mesquite, guiding three relay teams to the region track meet in 2016.



Jordan got his coaching start at Allen High School and Ford Middle School in 2012-13. Jordan served as a varsity assistant at Allen High school where he helped the Eagles to two state titles.



A standout athlete at Dallas Bishop Lynch High School, Jordan rushed for 1,800 yards and 21 touchdowns and racked up 550 receiving yards as a senior, leading the Friars to the 2023 state championship while earning all-state honors.



Jordan went on to play four years as a cornerback at Abilene Christian, where he was an All-American and three-time All-Lone Star Conference performer. His 76-yard interception return for a touchdown against SW Oklahoma State in 2006 still ranks in the top 12 longest pick sixes in school history.



Jordan earned his bachelor's degree in sociology from Abilene Christian in 2008 and his master's in business administration from the University of Phoenix in 2011.



He and his wife, Andrea, have two sons, Corey Jr. and Canaan.



Traylor also unveiled new titles for several assistant coaches.



Justin Burke will return as offensive coordinator for his second full season in that role and he also will coach the quarterbacks.



Nick Graham is back as cornerbacks coach for his fifth season and he will add assistant head coach to his title.



Siddiq Haynes is now the defensive run game coordinator in addition to entering his second season as the defensive line coach.



Last week, Traylor announced Zach Brown as special teams coordinator and nickels coach, Hunter Rittimann as tight ends coach and Galen Scott as defensive pass game coordinator and linebackers coach.



Rounding out the on-field staff are defensive coordinator and safeties coach Jess Loepp, running backs coach and NFL liaison Julian Griffin, associate head coach, pass game coordinator and wide receivers coach Joe Price and run game coordinator and offensive line coach Kurt Traylor.



The Roadrunners are coming off a 9-4 campaign that saw them claim the first bowl win in program history with a 35-17 victory over Marshall in the Frisco Bowl. UTSA will open the 2024 season at home against Kennesaw State on Aug. 31 at the Alamodome.
