I hope that's not the strategy. He'd better do something rational soon because I'm slowly becoming disillusioned with his choice to abandon true big men. He had none at Delaware either. I hope he proves me wrong.

I hope he proves me wrong. 4sure. I could somewhat overlook not having true Big-men above 6'9" as long as the ones we do have had some weight not just length. 185-95 pound Forwards regardless of how athletic they are is not going to cut it against individuals at the same talent level with length, size/ weight . My opinion is we are to light in the a$$ at this point. Things could change in the coming months 🙏 we will see 👀 |

Any updates on Robinson returning? If Coach Ross emphasizes defense, then Robinson may not be a fit because Coach Shumpert would sit him at times last year when he struggled on defense. If he is not replace with similar height or greater, our present team gets even smaller.
A&T-Roy, any additional updates you can give us on Jaylen Jackson. Has he enrolled at A&T? The window is closing quickly on any chance of a return.

If he is not replace with similar height or greater, our present team gets even smaller. "in my opinion", i don't know that robinson would help the roster that we currently have very much. "in my opinion", coach ross has signed a player or two who can do what robinson brought to the table the last two seasons. i mean, i suppose it wouldn't hurt for robinson to return. but i don't see his return being a major "boost" to our overall talent level... |

You may be correct. My interest is purely about how many scholarships Coach Ross still has available to add new players. If Robinson returns, he counts towards the 13 MBB scholarships. There was an article published here last month that stated Robinson, Morrice, and Johnson were returning. We now know Morrice and Johnson are not returning. 247sports.com/college/ncat/article/north-carolina-ncat-state-aggies-hbcus-caasports-209395249/ |

HBCUs are becoming farm systems for the Power 5 Schools and others just look at Tuten, Powell Woods and Watson all gone in bleak fashion.

New reality. The kids are dream chasing and that's OK.

HBCUs are becoming farm systems for the Power 5 Schools and others just look at Tuten, Powell Woods and Watson all gone in bleak fashion. Mid/low majors in general. It’s more so prevalent at mid/low major schools that aren’t HBCUs to be honest. You’ll still see a small HBCU talent to a bigger & more successful HBCU before they get a shot at the Power 5/6 level in so many cases these past few seasons. But in the PWI FCS world, it’s completely inevitable every single time that the kid is going straight to Power 5 & nowhere else the second he makes an all-conference team. |

I hope he proves me wrong. FYI. Coach Ross made an offer to a 6'11" 225lbs 2024 recruit. It is unclear what Ross is looking for in Bigs. |

I added the last reported weight for Kellman. This helps to determine if he has the size to play forward. Also, I noticed that he graduated in 2022 class then attended a post grad school last year. He should be a little more mature than the true Freshmen. I believe Coach Ross is down to 1 or 2 more remaining scholarships depending if Robinson returns. |
