965241.jpgNice looking stadium for FCS program. I can't imagine Charlotte being FCS more than 4 years.

I posted in CFB forum as well. It's a great day to be a 49er. Some friends of mine were some of the forefathers of this. This achievement is the perfect example of the internet making a difference. Had it not been for Ninernation.net, this never would have been organized and executed like it had. The administration ignored calls for football for years, but NinerNation.net allowed the masses a place to gather and put a plan into action until it was too large to ignore.

Great for the school and the athletic department as a whole.

It is incredibly difficult recruiting top talent to play in the A-10.

If you are talking football, there is no A10 football conference so you are correct, it is very difficult to recruit top talent to a league that doesn't exist.

If you are talking basketball, Xavier and Dayton both have no problems drawing in top 100 (and even top 50 on occasion) talent.

The A10 gets more top 150 players in basketball than any non-BCS conference. It's hard to get 'top' talent, but I wouldn't go as far as to say incredibly difficult.

Good lord they are going to suck for a long long time. A new team in the vaunted football state of NC? ugh

We'll see. It all depends on how the program is run. I think Charlotte is a great location for FCS level football. I wouldn't be surprised to see Charlotte excel at that level. If we move up to FBS, then yes, we'll probably be a pretty poor program at that level for quite a few years.

      Last night with some players

      Sounds encouraging.  I agree about the LB....I was CERTAIN second round would be a LB.  I would also like to add that, on paper, DL looked solid--but only 1 performed well in 2025 (2 if you count Robinson, who is now gone).  I am guessing they feel that the LB play will improve with the improvement up front--logical.  Remember the old rule (not sure who said it first) "You build from the inside out, front to back."   We drafted, in my early opinion, a starting NT and C this year.  inside out, front to back.

      Agree--I think a mid-level tackle but he could prove to be an elite G--not sure how he would do at RT--or maybe Freeling---lotta moving parts--but I would look at him at G if mid-level T is his ceiling--he has been improving, but the injury..

      Worked an event that many players were at including Ickey. Talked to him, looks and walks around good/normal. Taylor Moton released a new Tequila with his partner Matt Kahlil. Taylor looks great and is psyched for the season. He's such a good guy. Even Derrick Brown, very focused. It's like a quiet, calm I'm gonna rip through you confidence. Building his forever home and sticking around CLT. Bryce stopped in, but was upbuilding talking to the guys, not drinking, smoking cigars like others. There was little different aura with them, almost a quiet confidence, some fun. Reminded me of the 2013-2018 era. Had an event Tuesday with TD (he was there last night too) and he thinks the team looks real good, maybe just needs an another LB. He loves the Devin Lloyd pick up.  No negative comments, just giving a nice update on some players.
