Eagles has added high flying Brit Denzel Ubiaro,
Who averaged 11.1 points, 3.7 rebounds, 1.9 assists and 1.0 steals with Plymouth last season.

That's got to be good news for Newcastle fans. I think he's a decent addition.

Another signing, Justin Everett, third year pro who spent last season in Argentina.
Can't find any reference to him being a dual national so assume one of Varner or Johnson released?

Varner is gone but christ almighty what on earth is going on at the Eagles now as this is getting ridiculous. I haven't seen this many switch ups since Jay Marriot took over Plymouth. Starting to think we're going to finish the season with a completely different team to the one that started it. I understand wanting better results but this unstablity is not good for the team and not good for the players. How on earth is our team going to gel as a unit if we keeping cutting and changing players all the time. We'll never establish any consistency. I'm starting to wonder who is running our recruitment as this is really unusual? |

Whoever is running recruitment at Eagles has not delivered for some time It comes down to the owner of the club to do something about it (Don't hold your breath) |

At least we aren't sitting on our hands happy with mediocrity season after season like most of the rest of the league. |

Eagles have never got remotely close to replacing their last great league winning team You've gradually performed worse and worse in the league season on season When I started watching BBL you were by far the best team in the league You have steadily become one of the worst teams in the league Despite having the biggest fanbase in the league All the above are facts as far as I'm concerned You can disagree of course. But I believe the facts kind of speak for themselves.[/QUOTE] tbh Your recruitment has been consistently poor for years. Which has led to you slowly dropping down the league.

I'm guessing Playoff and the Cup games from 2 seasons ago doesn't count as success no way shape or form. 🤣 Regarding our recruitment last year and so far this season has been a huge disaster. But the season before whilst we weren't fantastic and inconsistent that team from the 2020/21 season looks like the A Team compared to recent squads. |

Those in glass houses

Those in glass houses Season on season we get it right We make recruitment mistakes like everyone but then address those mistakes I've always judged success on winning the league despite our great record in the playoffs Again if Eagles fans genuinely want to look the other way and pretend league position is unimportant then fair enough But they are kidding themselves if they do |

Dynasties don't last forever and the Eagles still won more silverware in their 'bad patch' than most teams have in their entire existence. But every other team isn't Eagles? You were the best team in League by some margin You are the best supported team in the League by some margin You have one of the best arenas in the League Everything is/was in your favour compared to other teams? To finish out of the playoffs last season was inexcusable You are potentially heading that way again this season It's not out of the blue. You've consistently dropped down the league since winning the Slam Not one team in BBL has deteriorated the way you have in recent years? Other teams don't have your advantages? These are all facts Winning a playoff/cup doesn't change any of the facts above Its down to very poor recruitment that has been ongoing Feels like I've said this before but if you want to deny that then good for the rest of BBL Pretend there's not a problem and keep repeating Don't take it personal guys. You are just Eagles fans. You don't recruit your squads You just support those squads You deserve way better IMO Steutel joined saying a club with your history needs to be challenging for the league from day one he arrives He was spot on. And impressed me with that interview. Check back. I said it was an impressive first interview. I've no idea how much he was involved in recruiting the squad. But for sure Eagles yet again haven't recruited remotely well enough Youve been set up for another extremely disappointing season? Your club needs a serious look at how it recruits? |

Not reading that too many words.
You can tell you've only been supporting Riders and interested in British Basketball over the period they've been winning IRF. Change the tune, everyone's bored of your 'Riders great, everyone else rubbish' spiel

Recruitment for us this year has been absolutely shambolic, there's no other way to describe it. I think questions have to be asked about what the process is.
Is choosing players done by the coach only or are there other people involved? If it's only Steutel working on it, I'd be slightly less concerned. He's in his first year and hasn't recruited at this level before. Coaches have to gain experience somehow and what better way than just doing it. If someone is pulling the strings and have been for some time, questions need to be asked as we've only had what I would consider to be good (championship winning capabilities) players for one season (2020-2021) in the past 5-6 years.
There is very little info out there, so we're left joining the dots. I'd always had a suspicion it was down to extra costs of building the arena. If this was a fact I'd be more than happy, as it's the best in the league and worth investing in.
More than anything I feel bad for the players concerned, it's so tough. Not a great look for the club reputationally either, this revolving door of players.

Isn't there some sort of rule regarding how many player swaps a team can do in one season?

Has to be agents involved recommending players as well Money could still be an issue thats true But bearing in mind Eagles have replaced several already it suggests money is/was available |
