Glasper pulled up From 30! Man, to have Guards that can shoot, defend, recognize traps and hit FT’s is a treat. And they are so young. Ross may have found a pipeline.

Coach Ross and Coach Brown are doing and saying the Coach Broadway (and others before him):
"You better get us NOW, because we won't be an easy out in a very short period of time!"
I can see it, at least from Coach Ross. I like that he has adopted the "We will recruit and win the recruting battle in our backyard for the available player who fits our scheme." It's refreshing to see and hear that. If he can get some more size to help Thanos next year in the paint, and get some athletic 6'4/6'6 swingmen who can rotate from 2 to 3 and 3 to 4, we're going to be DANGEROUS. He'll have some $$$ to free up, as his 7-8 man rotation with a roster of 15 will mean some departures after the end-of season coach/player conferences. The portal, JuCo kids, and quality high school players are coming, as well as the Felton kid who we hope and pray can keep his knees together during rehab, summer workouts, and fall practices!
I do have one question, however. One that I, and others, have asked before...
Some members of the BDV family like the DJ at home games in Corbett. When I was a student, a young alum, and a middle aged alum, I remember the Pep Band rocking the gym. It set the tone, and it got EVERYONE hyped. Some of my best memories of Corbett as a student were when Winston and Central would bring their pep bands and it would be POPPIN'!
Now, as a retired alum, I've noticed that the Pep Band ain't nowhere to be found. I'm not feeling the DJ, and believe that the Pep Band should play to set the tone. As an alum, I've heard the criticism from some fellow alums that our departure from the MEAC to 2 PWI conferences has resulted in "the loss of the HBCU culture at A&T, and we're slowly turning into UNC-G East." The Pep Band rocking the gym would definitely bring us back to those "Club Corbett" days.
So my question is...WHERE is the Pep Band & WHY aren't they a fixture at home games? I hope 3 or 6 of you know and can answer!

Pep Band is made up of members of the Marching Band.
Right now, they probably are still catching their breath after the brutal travel schedule they just had over the holidays. Nobody could blame them for wanting to take a small break.

“That Lump Taking is Gone “
Coach Ross
Coach summed it up for me for A&T Period! Football, Baseball. Track…
Shell is like a young CP3. Glasper is like a young Steph. Can light you up, plus dance on you! And don’t let the 4 and 5 positions come alive…smh
Aggie Nation, come and see this Show while you can.

RE: MBB @ NC A&T
Glasper's Thank You note has probably arrived in Williamsburg by now, thanking us for helping him win NCAA Mid-Major National Player of the Week.

Those are some of the most uncreative nicknames ever.

He's part of my security detail.
You wouldn't believe how many wackos come up to me at basketball games, asking about stuff that happens on this site.
