"Only Rock With Real Ones." - A Message from Corey

William & Mary men’s basketball is crushing it off the court too—earning the NABC Team Academic Excellence Award for the second straight year and fifth time overall, with a team GPA of 3.0+. Six players hit the NABC Honors Court, boasting GPAs of 3.2+ and all being juniors, seniors, or grad students. This elite honor, awarded to just 400+ teams nationwide, highlights the Tribe’s commitment to excellence both on and in the classroom—making them one of only three CAA schools to win this award and the 11th D-I program to do so.

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

Happy 4th of July! - A message of Corey

William & Mary just landed their final 2026-27 recruit: 6’5” guard/forward Chris Richards from Gaithersburg, MD. Coach Brian Earl raves about his energy, versatility, and elite wingspan—perfect for their fast-paced, high-octane style. Richards, averaging 13.8 PPG, 5.2 RPG, and 3.2 APG last season at Air Force Academy Prep, also shoots 39% from three. A three-time state champ at Bullis, he’s got clutch genes and a relentless work ethic. Joining 12 other newcomers—including grad transfers and freshmen—Richards bolsters a loaded roster that finished 20-10 last year, ranking top in the nation for pace and bench scoring. The Tribe is building something special.
