It's all good. We'll get a win when we play Kernersville Automotive Institute, El-Shaddai Seminary, & Sister Schubert's Culinary College. Other than that...
Ross needs to do a roster overhaul. Bring some players in. Expeditiously.

I like the fact we’re not just standing around on offense anymore looking clueless.

Looked better over the last 7 minutes. Closer game if we rebound and hit free throws.

It's like we scoop up what's left when 415 other D1/D2/NAIA/JuCo programs are done recruiting. Like our new dude from Greece. Does he have a point or rebound through our first 2 games? I'll ask again...WHO IS THE PRIMARY EVALUATOR OF TALENT? AND...Is there a cross-checking process? These dudes Ross brought in by & large are not mid-major D1 basketball players. That's the reality. |

Agree, unless we get a 2nd semester transfer to join the team. Yes, the team build and coaching staff is fixed but I am seeing some comments that appear to shape our predicament like the Admin and HC are absolved from blame. We did not have to wait so late to hire a HC. What budget was given to the new staff or do we even have a full staff now? The HC once hired made a decision not to bring 1 or more players back. Etc. Choices were made which we have to live with. Let's not put any of this on the players because we gave them those scholarships and said they were worthy to play for A&T. Only so much can be blamed on the HC right now. I will wait to evaluate how good of a job the HC is doing coaching and how individual players are developing when non-conference play ends. |

These dudes Ross brought in by & large are not mid-major D1 basketball players. That's the reality. Were you expecting us to beat an ACC team with tremendous height advantage and a senior/Grad laden UNCG team? Let the young team grow. The schemes look a lot better from a coaching standpoint. We have nothing at the 5 spot with injuries. To oleschoolaggie credit you can see our defensive potential. I'm looking forward to watching this team mature. |

Although I'm a glass half full kind of guy, there won't be very many positives out of this team this season. Scheme doesn't help you when you cannot rebound, score in the paint, nor hit the ocean with a softball while standing in the sand at high tide. This has been A&T basketball for the past few years, with the exception of the Showtime in Corbett Gym years with all of those high-flying athletes we had. This squad has minimal athleticism, are EGREGIOUSLY TINY (did they pick up a dumbbell or 5lb plate in the offseason?), & won't be competitive in the CAA. None of us should be surprised nor offended by the prognosticators picking us to finish 14th of 14 teams. We're that bad.
What's getting a new AD going to do? He didn't fly to Belgrade, Serbia & Athens, Greece & bring back negative 2 star projects. We are missing the boat on some players in & around the Carolinas by maintaining this love affair & fascination with kids from everywhere but NC. The kids we do have from NC aren't D1 players, & it's frustrating to see low/mid-major pwi teams (Campbell, Charlotte, Gardner-Webb, UNC-G/W) get the NC kids from 336/828/919/980/704/252 who COULD make a difference while we chase zero star kids from Canada, Europe, Arkansas &, of course, Atlanta & surrounding suburbs.
It's embarrassing.
You know...As I sit & stew in my own sauce after another Aggie loss & auto tune flosports for 1pm tomorrow, I "get" the calls for a new AD. We hired coaches with CAA (read:PWI coaches) whom they thought were the best candidates. After our football team goes 1-10 & basketball team finishing with 20+ losses, it will be a safe bet to say that mistakes were made in both hires, and our desire to change the cultural narrative at A&T will cost us dearly for years.
SMH. 🤦🏾♂️🤷🏽♂️

We need more trinkets and carrots to dangle in front of recruits out of HS and in the Transfer Portal overall. However, we got two games with these guys and unfortunately, we as fans gotta either give these young ones patience and grace, or find other things to entertain ourselves. |

This is bad. #16 ISN'T THE ANSWER. #2, #22, the Langley Twins, & the Equipment Manager are giving him the business! NO CHEERLEADERS! NOT EVEN THE "B" SQUAD NO PEP BAND! More of the same. We can't shoot, rebound, nor play with any intensity. What we gon' do? It was UNCG's home game. Also, I think the band is Indiana for a competition. |
