Apr 02 2039: 2039 The Rollercoaster Continues - by Tali on June 27th, 2024
ECU's recent history has been full of highs and lows.
Since 2033 ECU have double promoted, double demoted, and have just completed double-promoting again.
This season's recruiting has been a microcosm of that experience.
ECU won the services of the #1 recruit in the nation Kendrick Dix.
All attention then turned to long-time lead Brady Hoppe, but the big man went with LL6 Tulsa. Leaving a gaping hole in the Tiger's long-term frontcourt plans.
Greg Pinckney is a workman-like forward who was acquired late and cheap when another team ran out of scholarships.
Almost as heartbreaking as Hoppe was 4-star guard/wing Stephen Scarpa who developed off court troubles as a senior and was not able to sort them out in time to enroll.
Apr 02 2029: 2029 Graduating Class - by Tali on December 16th, 2022
First full class I recruited with ECU. They took the team from LL6 to LL3 next season. Graduate with a bag of records. Oishi/Paige are quite possibly my favourite backcourt ever.
