The Athletes in Action (AIA) Post Grad Men's Basketball team is entering the 2024-25 season with a sense of excitement and anticipation. With a new home in the John Wooden Family Fieldhouse and a roster filled with promising talent, the team is poised for success in this highly anticipated season. Led by head coach Bryan Weakley and a talented team of assistants, the squad looks forward to competing against some of the nation's best prep & post-grad programs.

A standout leader emerging from this year's roster is Isaac Dye, a sharp-shooting guard known for his scoring ability and leadership. Dye, who will likely serve as an offensive anchor, has earned a reputation for his clutch performances and skill in creating opportunities for his teammates. His experience and leadership on and off the court will be crucial for AIA Basketball as they face a challenging schedule.

Luke Shaw, a guard for AIA Basketball, brings exceptional ball-handling skills and a strong basketball IQ to the team. Known for his quick first step and ability to navigate defensive pressure, Shaw excels at setting up his teammates and creating scoring opportunities. His agility allows him to push the pace in transition, while his decision-making in half-court sets ensures that the offense flows smoothly. Shaw's competitive spirit and work ethic will make him a vital component of AIA's backcourt, providing stability and energy as the team battles through its rigorous schedule.

Another exciting addition to the roster is Sam Thacker, a 6-foot freshman point guard from Suwanee, Georgia. Thacker is recognized for his court vision and basketball IQ, which he will use to facilitate the offense and create plays for his teammates. Despite being a newcomer, Thacker is expected to make an immediate impact.

In the frontcourt, Timothy Finau will bring his presence as a commanding center. Standing at 6'11", Finau is a force on both ends of the floor, providing shot-blocking and rebounding abilities that will help anchor the defense. His physicality and versatility will make him a key player as the team battles in the paint.

Additional key contributors include Michael Olaly, a forward who will bring athleticism to both ends of the court, and CJ Carter, a versatile wing known for his defensive prowess and ability to guard multiple positions. Together, this core of new and returning players offers a balanced blend of offensive firepower and defensive intensity.

The team will play its first few games in the state-of-the-art John Wooden Family Fieldhouse, an impressive facility that marks a new era for AIA Basketball. With new faces and a fresh approach, Athletes in Action looks ready to compete at the highest level, driven by strong leadership and a shared commitment to excellence. The journey to success begins now, and the AIA Prep team is ready to rise to the challenge this season.
