Blackmon kind of reminds me of Austin Butler. Hustle player from one end to another. I’m excited to see him play again

FYI - moved the discussion of Graves and NIL to the “49er MBB Players Leaving / Returning” thread since Nik is now an ex-Niner and will be playing in the Big East in 2025-26.
I’m excited to see what the team can pull together next year. Every day I see more and more people wearing Charlotte merch. When I was in middle school, I had no idea this school existed. I only found out about it when I went to the high school on campus. After that, many people in my life were shocked to find out we were even D1.
Our school is gaining traction in the area. Places like Moo & Brew are owned by alumni, the logo is on the Center City building, the light rail heads to campus, and our school was in the latest college football video game.
I say all of this because recruitment out of high schools in the local area is important. And although the ACC schools may always have brand recognition, we do too.
We’re an R1 institute, we play in the AAC, we are the third most attended university in the state.
clt says we should pass UNC CHeat next fall.
