WCA, what were some of the triggers that lead him away from A&T? When I see his father next, I’ll ask him. The kid committed to Ole Miss during the early period when Duncan Powell committed to us. His pops had him working out like crazy before and during the pandemic and had Power-5 attention pretty early in his HS Career. 247sports.com/Recruitment/James-White-138736/RecruitInterests/The fact Coach Jones even offered was pretty cool imho.

Now that is a interesting statement. Sad but interesting all the same . Definitely interesting since dine on those board screamed being in the BS would stop us from getting high level talent since we are no longer in the MEAC. Goes to show that the generations are different and old opinions and thoughts on race are a bit outdated and out of touch. WTF this is not about Race but far from it . Kid gravitate toward conferences and programs that they feel can give National and Regional exposure and prepare them for that next level . Period . Hell if HBCU'S established a reputation for feeding players into the NBA on a regular basis both black and white players would gravitate toward HBCU'S but that is not the case but Race is not the issue . Also that was a total Asinine Ignorant statement and Deion sander- ish in context by Jones . If Jones thinks that being in the BS is going to attract the 4 and 5 ** plug and play athletes out of high school because he is in the BS he is going to be highly disappointed the BS is not a P-5 conference or a NBA Feeder but it is a coaches conference, making do with the best athletes you can recruit and then coaching them up to an elite level. I do not feel that Jones is up for the task in my opinion after that statement I doubt him even more now . Hell if you can't recruit and sale your program just say it but don't make this about Race .

I'm not debating his decision. I just would like to know his thoughts about A&T.

Coach said NCCU ducking them and he will try to get WSSU in Corbett within 2-3 years WHY! if we are balling in the CAA neither should be able to carry our jock traps. Beating them would mean nothing to me, lets get St. Peters on the schedule. this small thinking with our basketball program. I'm concerned about his projection of being the HC in 2-3 years. WIN first and bring a bag to the bank.

WIN first and bring a bag to the bank. Because BOTH NCCU & WSSU are RIVALRIES, great for the areas/communities, great for the students, great for alumni...not to mention revenue! Don't know if you heard it but he also asked Hubert Davis (UNC) about setting up one or more games and mentioned getting them to come to the Club. After the rivalries part in my 1st sentence everything else applies. Oh, and we can STILL play the Flavor of the Day (St. Peters). Small thinking - Nah. Strategic and fruitful thinking. And why wouldn't he project being the HC in 2-3 years?
