CDR was CUSA POY and a 1st team AA - could make an argument Rose wasn’t the best player that season. But even if he was - being on a runner-up doesn’t have much relevance in comparing two individuals. That’s a team accomplishment. Jarrett Jack was the best player on an NCAA runner-up. Does that make him better than Stephon Marbury? Rose was great, but not so great that it’s blasphemy to think Acuff is having a better freshman year. 24.8ppg, 6.6apg, 3:1 A/TO, 49.2/43.3/82.6 in SEC vs 13.3, 4.2, 1.75:1, 45.0/28.9/71.0 in CUSA doesn’t exactly seem like a landslide for the 2nd guy.

@Josh_Goff I watched UNC that season. And Rose was the best player on the NCAA runner-up. Acuff is awesome but let’s remember to keep perspective.

I wonder how often in 1982 people said “Michael Jordan is the best player Dean Smith has ever had” only to be scoffed at and met with “Bob McAdoo existed.”

Did you speak to everyone who watched a UNC game that season? There might have been someone who saw some potential there and uttered such ludicrous things. But your last sentence there is part of the point. Derrick Rose as we know him today didn’t become “Derrick Rose” until his time in the NBA. If we’re talking strictly Rose’s production in his year at Memphis, it is pretty wild to dismiss the Acuff praise.

@Josh_Goff Well, no one said that about Michael Jordan because he arguably wasn’t the best player on the 1982 team. He didn’t become “Michael Jordan” until he got to the pros.

Congrats to our own @ChasseConque – a 2025-26 @NACDA Athletics Director of the Year! #RallyTheValley #UTRGV goutrgv.com/news/2026/3/16…

Hats off to @Josh_Goff for taking home the #Lobstah Wild Boyz fantasy NCAA league. We were 1-2 all year long in some fashion, a blast of a league. Parade to be held tomorrow in Arkansas.

It is finally the big moment for @UCAMBB in year 20 of the DI era. In a year where the program has reached unprecedented heights, the Bears find themselves 40 minutes from finishing the ascent. The summit is of course a conference championship and an @MarchMadnessMBB appearance. Regardless of the outcome today, it has been an honor to tell the story of this little team that has shown it can, in fact, climb. #BearClawsUp 🐻🧗‍♂️

See you Saturday, @ucawbb 🏆 #TheDestination

Blessed to coach him every day. He is UNCOMMON!

Ty Robinson is relentless worker and a special young man. Glad he is on our team!! Congrats

Hunt Slams the Dore(s) shut & sets off some #High5sAndHandshakes in Music City as @UCABearBaseball has knocked off those #VandyBoys for a second straight 5-4 win in Nashville. #BearClawsUp x #FightFinishFaith

@UCA_Football future O-lineman! Congrats!

Never a doubt. Orchestrated the biggest turnaround in ASUN conference history – going from 4 conference wins to 15 (and 3 points away from 18-0) after having to replace 87% of scoring and 83% of minutes from last year. Took a program that finished 10th last year, was picked 8th/11th in the league’s preseason polls this year … and turned it into a 20 wins, 15-3 in the ASUN, a league championship and the No. 1 seed in the conference tourney. Pretty good start to the season. Looking forward to the finish.

Love it. Just an incredible redemption arc.

It's fun comparing this to Shulman's intro presser a couple years ago. "You shoot for the moon, you just might hit it." Bullseye.

Last chance (hopefully) to see the Bears in the Farris Center this season. Arrive early. Be loud. Choose your seat carefully.

In this NIL-centric hellscape where an unfortunate number of players are just mercenaries chasing checks from year to year and have no interest in being part of a community or building a legacy, stories like Cam’s are all the more refreshing. Regardless of what the next week or so holds, the final chapter of his UCA journey is already pretty incredible. Hopefully the last page is the storybook ending he came back for.

"There's a lot of people in Conway that love the University of Central Arkansas. For them to be prideful and come to the games, and all of sudden they got something to be prideful and proud about has been a lot of fun." Don't look now, but UCA has a shot at doing something they haven't ever done before... make the NCAA Tournament 👀 I chatted with Coach Shulman today about why this team can do it and what's been the secret to their success this season.
