Re: Portal

Very interesting and honest commentary from Calipari. I don’t think I’d bet against the guy. He has something to prove. For those that don’t know, he played point guard at UNC-W, before transferring to Clarion.

Re: Battle for Atlantis

Our chances may hinge on whether or not we sign an experienced portal point guard who can both shoot and dish. That said, I'm worried.

Re: Newest Kool Aid recruiting thread

Based on several recent anecdotes, I don’t get the impression we are pulling big levers in the NIL space.

Re: 2024–2025 Davidson MBB Scholarship Players

Well, we sure need him to contribute. I suspect he’ll be much improved.

Re: 2024–2025 Davidson MBB Scholarship Players

Does anyone have insight into whether or not the coaching staff anticipates meaningful playing time next season for Mike Loughnane? He was Matt’s first commit as HC but saw very little court action during his freshman year. Hopefully he will be ready and able to contribute at point guard, especially...

Re: Portal

If Brizzi can fix his three point stroke, and stop perpetually driving deep into the paint with nowhere to go, he can become a very solid player. I hope he does.

Re: Portal

The best point guards are inherently team first, above all else.

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?
