If you have 10 mil laying around we can make a final 4.
How the hell does UNCW out recruit us?
Coaching staff?
More NIL?
Better vibes from the program having conference success even though the conference is not as good as the AAC?
What the hell is going on here???
How does unc Asheville and Greensboro do better than us
They made the tournament and coaching staff
And another one bites the dust…
UNCW is good. They have been good for several years. They have an excellent coach who while they just gave him an extension I am still surprised he didn’t leave.
Niners missed the cut:
And a beach !
UNCW being near the Atlantic reminds me of my maternal grandfather telling me about riding the train to Wilmington and then taking the streetcar out to the oceanside pavilion in Wrightsville Beach.
Thought he might back off on HPU after Huss decided to return to Creighton but that’s not the case.
This is getting old! And from Charlotte too! ![]()
What is going on with our recruiting, I mean seriously, how many guys from the area are committing to schools with lower profiles than us, is this just us not targeting these guys because they dont fit the current staffs system, are we targeting them but not able to close the deal, NIL, the system we play, recent history???
Nil is not the issue. Fearne and staff can’t recruit
Doesn’t look as if another QC-area hoopster the Niners have contacted is interested in getting closer to home during this cycle.
FWIW, we’ve contacted at least 40 players with one commitment to the Niners and 14 to other schools.

What day was set up for student tryouts again ?
The pride of Pinetops, NC in the portal.
Losing Cross sucks and shows just how messed up the NIL world is today.
There are still more than 65% of the players that entered the portal that have not “committed” yet.
