If he becomes official at Louisville 4 of the current ACC coaches were from the CAA. I bet you can guess the two schools… lol

5*  Forgot Larranaga.  Was thinking of Brownell at Clemson.

Well verbally it is official.. but if you know Kelsey, it isn't official until pen meets paper...

That will be tomorrow afternoon. 

UNCW now takes over as the early team to beat in 2024-25

OUR CITY .. is gone.  Their fans are losing it, such is life as a good mid major. No matter how much money and NIL you have, it only goes so far.

Reyne Smith gone. Some of these guys could return depending on new coach

At the risk of getting excoriated by 1 or 2 people on the board, this is the natural evolution of things. Kelsey stayed a few years at C of C, got them to the tournament 2X, used C of C as a lily pad to a bigger job. And C of C will simply go out and try to get the next Kelsey. Rinse, wash, repeat.

This 10000%. Vcu. Uncw. Charleston have this done.  Coaches shouldn’t stay a mid major longer than 1.5 full recruiting classes
