We are very excited about this year’s class of recruits, it is a very deep class and talented group that has a chance to have a big impact in our program. We feel very fortunate to add young men who are not only talented basketball players, but true student-athletes!

As a Freshman at John wood Will was selected Honorable Mention All-Conference. He shot 52% from the floor and averaged 9pts and 8rebs per game.

 Acuff’s Quote:  “Will Carr is the biggest player we have had in my 14 years at UAH. He will impact our team immediately with his size and both ends of the floor. We are very fortunate to have Will join our program!”

We started our first road trip of the year very strong last night with a good win over GSC West Division foe Ouachita Baptist. It was a total team effort in which 10 guys scored and they all played extremely well. Here is the link to an article on last night’s game.

Our Students were absolutely amazing last year and they are off to even a better start this year. Even the bad weather could not keep them away on Monday, the Blue Crew really does give us the best home court advantage in Division II. Be sure and check out their video to see what they have going on!

Webisode 1 is out and it even better than last year, it covers the Vanderbilt and Alabama games! Special Thanks to our video coordinator!

In front of a great home crowd last night, we defeated Columbus St 96-66 to earn our 3rd straight win. It is a goal of ours every year to defend home court and we certainly did in our first game in Spragins Hall this year.
