Re: Roster/Staff Updates

Per South Carolina 24/7 (so you can trust it): South Carolina has five former players who are scheduled to visit Appalachian State this weekend. QB Dante Reno, DB Emory Floyd, OL Kam Pringle and the Porter brothers. They're all scheduled to visit there. Porter brothers are DL and LB for reference. ...

Re: NIL and future of NCAACF

I am not really sure what the big deal is. Your school is your school. Things may change, but it is still your school. The changes are for everyone not just Appalachian. So, if everyone has to play by the same rules the system is fair. I would say that the system is fairer now than it has ever been...

Re: UCLA football

Vol board is mostly happy to get Joey. They think Heup can help him with picks.i may have to make a vol game this year. All coaches think they can correct issues with a player. He must think that Ponce and Clark are awful coaches to believe he can correct it in the SEC while they could not correct ...

Re: Roster/Staff Updates

I think Joey is just one of those guys you have to throw in a game to see what you got.

Remember he didn’t outperform burger according to our coaches.

Don't feel bad for Joey. He is going to make 1M to sit on bench, if he stays at UCLA and that is 1M more than he would have made had he pursued the NFL.

Hopefully he has a signed contract from the NIL collective

Good news incoming.
Nice…

It’s been great to see (knock on wood) most are staying with the team this season, a nice change over last season!
But we also weren’t as good this past season as the year before.

Re: Rays potentially moving to raleigh/carter Finley complex

The good thing is a precedent has been set to play a couple seasons in a minor league park. Problem is, the current AAA stadium is probably where the MLB stadium would have to go Uptown. Not sure of any parcels big enough in Uptown. Maybe you re-develop the Brookhill Neighborhood in Southend (Remou...

I was told we offered to make her the highest paid volleyball coach in the league . Great run of success. She earned the promotion. We start over now.
Good for us. Highest paid VB coach in sbc is probably lowest paid sec coach by 2x though.

1st time since 1975 that only 4 conferences have been represented. No surprise it’s the power 4. Consequences of the transfer portal and nil.

Deion suggesting a spring game with an actual opponent. Would like NFL model.. practice a few days with opponent and then spring game. I like this idea.

Re: UNCC Mayo Kickoff game now Friday

Yes the AD needs to read the room. If we were coming off a 10 win season and this was a marquee opponent, go ahead and maximize revenue.

We had a lackluster ‘24, fired our coach and it’s UNCC.

Re: 2025 App BB Transfers

As an example, JMU is a good educational institution amongst our peers. However, they have a program called “The School of Professional and Continuing Education”. What is that? You tell me because their website is a bunch of jargon. It looks like filler classes to me. https://www.jmu.edu/pce/index....

Re: 2025 App BB Transfers

Basketball is more extreme than football. You can’t look for players who want to stay multiple years. You have to look for the players who will give you the best chance to win on a yearly basis. With the limited spots, we can’t afford to have players on scholarship who are not viewed as a piece of ...

App is a big market team in a small market town. Granted that is what makes it appealing to us, it’s lacking in logistical appeal. It’s remote from any decent size airport. The town infrastructure isn’t quite set up to accommodate crowds that would come with the expansion of KBS. Not to mention ava...
