I will be on the campus of Norfolk State University this Saturday. Excited to network and meet the players and coaches!!! #gospartans @NorfolkStateFB @MichaelVick @CoachSteveAdams @NHSfootballteam @cbateman22

Per @KalebSpencer06 a former First Flight and Manteo high basketball player has heard from at least two schools since entering the transfer portal. One school being from conference USA and another school being from the Southlands conference.

@StephenIgoe anything on potential kids we are looking at out of the portal for basketball?
