So proud of these 2 young men. They have worked so hard for this moment & we couldn't be happier for them & their families!

what i appreciate about this moment besides the obvious is how it shows that coaches CAN build lasting relationships with star players and make them want to stay in the program. i think lots of coaches are running from establishing these kinds of bonds & blaming it on the portal

Kenny Blakeney (@PoopeeBlakeney) is a special person. This sport is lucky to have him

In college basketball, who in the Athletic Department controls scheduling Non-Conference games?

Are High Majors trying to avoid playing potentially good Mid-Majors?

[Marc J. Spears @MarcJSpears]

Two HBCUs placed in the First Four, per usual by the NCAA, and Howard and Prairie View A&M still advance.

@Travonne The EVO Nxt Basketball is indeed over $100 retail. It’s what many public HS teams use in games.

@TraeK_ @jkylemann Hard Work, Dedication, and Talent all meet at once to make Curry what he is ✊🏽🏀

[Your Local Basketball Coach @CoachKadell]

@TraeK_ @jkylemann Interesting, why Dell even say that then 🤷🏾‍♂️ He also played at Charlotte Christian. That’s a private school so I would be curious about their region / non-region schedule strength during his time there. That would also affect recruitment.

[Your Local Basketball Coach @CoachKadell]

@AstPPearson This make no sense, the Big South is on par competition wise with the Southern Conference in which Furman got a 15 seed. It’s clear the committee is not knowledgeable about these mid majors.

High Point played no one out of conference! They had a bunch of home games.

[Your Local Basketball Coach @CoachKadell]

@DylanWeipz1 That’s very sad man. I wish you all were able to experience those packed arenas like we did. During my time at Winthrop 2004-2008 & 09’ - 10’ students from all aspects attended many sporting events. We also had a large social scene also on weekends. How can we get it back?

[Your Local Basketball Coach @CoachKadell]

Do the students at Winthrop know there is a basketball team?

Only students I saw at games were the kid with the Clock and other Athletes.

[Your Local Basketball Coach @CoachKadell]

@DylanWeipz1 Why can’t we get more student attendance at games? What else are the students doing? Not everyone goes home on the weekends. 15-20 years ago going to the Basketball game was the event of the week at Winthrop
