We just got word that Wes Hofacker (6-2, 235) will be playing football at ECU. Wes played at Allen HS (Allen, Texas) where he was all-district and possibly 5A all-state despite hurting his knee.

Do y'all have any feedback on Wes?

I just do not see TCU bolting UNLESS they will have increased access to the BCS by moving to the MWC. Look for them to wait until they have a better idea of how the new system will work before making a decision. Conference commissioners are due to meet again in next month or so.

C-USA is a better ...

Great win! C-USA hoops will be much stronger than many think.

Go Pirates!!!!

It is no secret that y'all have enormous potential. You have the facilities, the resources, good academics, Texas recruiting, & the large market. That is why your new conference made y'all a priority. C-USA desperately needs y'all to be a player ASAP... on the hard court and football field. This ...

For clarity sake, BE is not going to take any FB only schools. UCF would be CUSA candidate, not BE. They have learned their lesson with partial participants, e.g. BB schools.

As for ECU, they are probably going stay in CUSA. Beyond taking USF, BE won't need ...

Thanks Matt, that makes alot of sense. I would think ECU would get the football only invite over UCF, but maybe not. If ECU leaves do you think Marshall will still come to CUSA? I don't. In any case, I hope you guys land somewhere you like, hopefully that will be ...

It looks like USF will get an all sports invite to the Big East. They are going to have to crunch some numbers to see if they will be able to accept it(they are still paying entrance fees to C-USA + C-USA exit fees + Big East entrance fees). The BCS is starting to show some *****s in its armor. More ...

As for Bball, you'd be interested to know that Mike Dement is an ECU grad and hails from N.C.

Is Mike Dement your head basketball coach? Or is he an assistant?

Our football stadium is first class and provides a great game day atmosphere. Unfortunately, it's been to tough over the last two years. I'd imagine many of the C-USA teams bring a larger fan base, which would help (winning of course, will also help). If you ...

A coupleof questions....

Are your football coach and hoops coach on solid ground?

How have your recruiting efforts gone over the past couple of seasons? How about this season? The kids have to be impressed with your facilities.

Any plans to start a baseball program?

I wanted to welcome y'all to Conference USA. Although your program has been down for awhile... It does not take a genius to recognize the enormus potential y'all have. I stopped by your official website and checked out your facilities... WOW! Your football stadium and sports building in particular ...
