Re: This Season - A Tale of Shooting (or Lack Thereof)

Purdue was nearly as bad the year before last so Matt Painter simply had each player shoot threes for five minutes after every practice starting in October. The results speak for themselves.

Re: Clunie Email re NIL

There was no real insight into the numbers regarding our NIL efforts on last night’s Zoom call with the AD and coaches. Did I miss something?

Re: Clunie Email re NIL

If we still plan on recruiting primarily thru the high school channel, we need enough NIL money to prevent select players from being poached after they develop here. The collective could also be used judiciously in the portal when a hole in the roster emerges. I see NIL at Davidson as more of a rete...

Re: Clunie Email re NIL

I think Davidson MBB is fortunate to have an NIL collective run by former Wildcat players. Yes, they want us to win; but I’m confident they’ll run the collective with integrity, unlike many “win at all cost” Power 5 collectives

Re: Clunie Email re NIL

I believe Davidson will find a way to more than hold its own in the A10. It’s my hope they can do that while still maintaining, in large part, the high standards that have set the men’s basketball program apart for so long. Here’s hoping loyal fans stay loyal through the inevitable bumps and bruises...

Re: Post Season Banquet

Any word at the banquet as to whether or not we anticipate bringing in another portal guy or two?

Re: Skogman

A very fine player. Really hated not to see him playing down the stretch this past season. Tough way to end his career here. Good luck!

Re: Welcome Joe Hurlburt!

Excellent size, length and athleticism; in addition to a nice looking stroke from behind the arc. He should be a welcome plus for our team.

Re: Welcome Zach Laput!

I’ve read a couple of interviews with Zach from last month prior to his commitment here. He talks a lot about his relentless work ethic, his desire to improve all aspects of his game, and his history as a leader in winning programs. Importantly, he comes here with a chip on his shoulder, and somethi...

Re: Welcome Zach Laput!

Zach, A hearty welcome to you and your family! I too am very pleased you chose Davidson; a place where, as you probably already surmise, the fan base is pretty passionate and proud of its beloved D1 basketball program. Wildcat men’s hoops has brought immense joy and pride to the fans and alumni of t...

If they’re as good as those two, I think the Wildcat faithful will be well pleased. 😃

Re: Welcome Joe Hurlburt!

Based on the CU practice film I watched, I believe he will contend very strongly for meaningful playing time, especially if he adds another 10 pounds of muscle.
