Northern Arizona men’s basketball just kept the academic excellence torch burning, winning the NABC Team Academic Excellence Award for the sixth time in seven years under head coach Shane Burcar — with a stellar 3.24 team GPA. Six Big Sky teams earned the honor, but NAU’s individual success is even more impressive: five players made the NABC Honors Court, tying a program record and marking the fourth time they’ve had at least four honorees. Diego Campisano joins an elite trio with his third Honors Court nod, while Oakland Fort and Ryan Abelman each earned their second. Isaiah Shaw and Arne Osojnik make their debut on the list. This isn’t just about stats — it’s a culture of discipline, balance, and future-focused grit that’s turning heads both on and off the court.

"Someone’s Life Is Changing Today..." - A message from Corey

Happy 4th of July! - A message of Corey

Northern Arizona men’s basketball just pulled off a roster overhaul, signing 11 new players to immediately compete for a Big Sky Championship. Coach Shane Burcar brought in eight transfers — including three direct D-I transfers and four with prior D-I experience — alongside three freshmen, all chosen to add size, athleticism, and depth. The squad features standout additions like 7-foot forwards Dylan Anderson and Tamiel Green, plus playmaking guard Mason Dorsey, who nearly posted a triple-double at junior college. Returning starters Ryan Abelman, Chris Komin, and Brennan Peterson will lead the integration. This isn’t just about building for the future — it’s about winning now, with players who fit the culture and are ready to compete.

Five New Cities, One Big Mission - A Message from Corey

Northern Arizona basketball is going big this season as Coach Shane Burcar builds his eighth year around size and depth, bringing in towering recruits like seven-footer Tamiel Green and highly-touted Dylan Anderson to replace lost firepower after a brutal injury-plagued 10-win campaign. With the program’s future on the line, Burcar’s focus is clear: turn roster strength into wins and reclaim the Big Sky championship trajectory they were on before last year’s stumble.
