2010-2011 SEASON PREVIEW OVERHAULED EAGLES ROSTER GETS SET FOR RIGORS OF MEAC PLAY 12 Newcomers join Eagles in Moton’s second season at the helm As the transitioning Eagles edge ever so closely to the light at the end of the tunnel of Division I reclassification, North Carolina Central University will introduce 11 new student-athletes to the maroon and grey faithful in head coach LeVelle Moton’s second season at the helm which will mean much needed depth that was missing a season ago. Moton’s first year saw NCCU rack up a Division I high seven wins including a winning record at home (7-4) for the first time since making the move up to the NCAA’s highest division. The Eagles saw late season success against two soon-to-be conference foes Maryland Eastern Shore and Savannah State, whom NCCU beat as a part of its three-game winning streak in February. Not one to get too far ahead of himself despite the 7-22 record, Moton fully believes that a lot of good came out of his first season at NCCU. “I learned last season that every day is a learning process, and that there were a ton of positives that we can take out of last year”, said Moton. “I learned that our coaching staff can X and O with the best of them, and even though we were outmanned on certain nights, we taught a certain skill that is rare these days and that was our kids played extremely hard. As a staff we learned from that and continue to do so each day.” With an influx of newcomers, Eagle fans certainly will not forget one of the seven returnees as the 2009-10 NCAA Division I Independent Newcomer of the Year C.J. Wilkerson (Oxford, N.C.) gets set for his final season donning the maroon and gray. After transferring from Clinton Junior College in Rock Hill, S.C., Wilkerson averaged 16.3 points, 3.9 rebounds, and 2.7 assists in the 2009-10 campaign. He scored 20-plus points 11 times, including a career-high of 30 points against the Apprentice School, which helped earned him MVP honors of the 2010 B.C. Powder Classic. The Granville county native began his Eagle career off by scoring in double figures in 13 of his first 14 games, including 16 points in his debut against defending national champion and then No. 4/6 North Carolina. In the Miami subregional of the 2009 2KSports Classic benefiting Coaches vs. Cancer, Wilkerson scored 56 points in three games including his first career double-double (14 points, 11 rebounds) against OVC Champion and 2010 NCAA
2
Tournament qualifier Murray State, earning him a spot on the AllRegion team. This year, Wilkerson will not be relied upon so much to do the heavy lifting because of the newly found depth will make it that much easier for the Eagles to play Moton’s fast paced style and dictate the flow of the game. Of the four returning starters junior Nick Chasten (Raleigh, N.C.) is next in line to step up, as he was Mr. Consistent after averaging near double-double numbers (10.0 ppg, 6.0 rpg) in his second season. Also being looked upon to add a scoring touch will be junior transfer Landon Clement (Raleigh, N.C./UNC Greensboro) who sat out last season per NCAA transfer rules. During his two seasons at UNCG, Clement showed off his explosiveness from the outside on more than a few occasions that included five three-pointers and scoring 26 points in a win against Webber International during his sophomore year. Senior point guard Michael Glasker registered a careerhigh 125 assists last season, despite missing four games due C.J. Wilkerson led the Eagles scoring 16.3 points to an ankle injury. Glasker finds per game. (Photo courtesy Colgate Athletics) himself in a battle for playing time with junior Justin Leemow (Brooklyn, Carolina vs. South Carolina All-Star Game, N.Y.), and freshman Emanuel “Poobie” 2010 District Co-Player of the Year, 2010 Chapman (Raleigh, N.C.). Leemow (6-1, All-State team member, Cap 7 Conference 175-pounds) played two seasons at USF Player of the Year, and is one of two Eagles under head coach Stan Heath, where he to be selected to the 2010 North Carolina made 10 starts, averaged 16.7 minutes per East vs. West All-Star Game. Mid-season addition P.J. Taylor (High contest, dished out 52 assists and amassed Point, N.C.) will have a say in that matter. 31 steals in 43 games for the Bulls. Chapman hails from the same high Taylor joined the team after the holiday school as Moton, Raleigh's Enloe High break and was a key cog in the Eagles School, and the two have known each three-game winning streak, including a other for quite some time. Chapman a 6-1, clutch steal and layup that vaulted the 160 pound point guard is certainly a chip Eagles ahead of Savannah State in the 65off the old block as his father, Emanuel 60 win on Feb. 6, 2010. The final returning starter sophomore Chapman, played at St. Augustine's College and fans of the CIAA to this day forward Dijon Manns (Raleigh, N.C.) got say he was the epitome of a play-making the nod for the final 12 contests last season point guard. Poobie showed off that gene and could certainly be a dangerous weapon during his senior year at Enloe High School for the Eagles this season if he can match as he averaged 15.7 points per game while his best performance of his freshman dishing out 8.7 assists and 4.5 rebounds per year as he exploded for 24 points, seven contest for the Eagles. With the success rebounds against Maryland Eastern Shore of his final season came the accolades as last February. Joining him in the post is Chapman was named MVP of the North sophomore David Best (Raleigh, N.C.) www.NCCUEaglePride.com
2010-2011 SEASON PREVIEW who will add toughness and size down low. Best sat out last year after transferring from Cape Fear Community College, where he was voted first team All-Region at CFCC. Senior Dwayne Sims (Dayton, Ohio) and junior Jonathan Nicely (Augusta, Ga.) will battle for playing time along junior transfer Tramar Beaman (Williamston, N.J/ University of the Sciences in Philadephia) who was a stellar guard for the Devils averaging 11.3 points per contest shooting 60.8 percent from the field to vault him into third in the CACC (Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference). He comes to NCCU after sitting out last year as well. The Eagles bring in three other freshmen that come with a ton of accolades starting with Jeremy Ingram (Charlotte, N.C.) the second Eagle to be named to the 2010 North Carolina East vs. West All-Star Game. The 6-3, 175-pound guard hails from East Mecklenburg High School where he torched the Southwestern 4A Conference averaging 23.0 points per game with 6.0 rebounds, and 4.0 assists per game. He was named Player of the Year in the league along with being honored as a first team member of the 4A Associated Press All-State team. Ingram scored over 1,000 points in his illustrious high school career and was a vital member of the Eagle squad that won the 2008 NCSHAA 4A State Championship.

School, where the 6-6 190-pound forward was one of the top scorers for the Chargers, leading them to 21 wins and a spot in the elite eight of the North Carolina Independent School Athletic Association 1-A basketball playoffs. The last of the newcomers bring much needed size and athleticism to the team much like Hobbs as Marcus Graham (Clinton, N.C.), Marvin Fitzgerald (Milwaukee, Wis.), Tracy O’Neal (Aiken, S.C.), and Dominique Sutton (Durham, N.C.) are all above 6-5 but bring very different games to the Bull City. Graham is more of an outside threat who comes to NCCU via Brunswick Community College where the 175-pound junior averaged 11.5 points for the Dolphins. He was a key contributor to a team that went 2312 which included a Region X Tournament Championship and a trip to Hutchinson, Kan. to play in the NJCAA national playoffs. That’s where Graham really took his game to another level, dropping in 15.5 points during tournament play. Prior to BCC, the sophomore transfer was a star at Lakewood High School, where he was named Super Six Player of the Year, Super Six First Team member, N.C. Basketball Coaches Association First Team All-District, North Carolina-South Carolina All-Star nominee, and NCPreps.com 1A Boys All-State team member. Fitzgerald comes to NCCU as a 6-5, 215-pound forward from Chipola Junior College where his toughness really impressed Moton and the rest of his coaching staff. During his high school years at Milwaukee's Vincent High School, Fitzgerald averaged a double-double 17 points and 11 rebounds earning fourth team All-State recognition by the Associated Press. He was also named All-Conference in the Milwaukee City Conference, also garnering All-Area honors during his stellar high school career. After graduating from high school, Fitzgerald spent a year in prep school at Heat Academy in Martinsville, Va. where he racked up 24.0 points per game and helped lead the squad to a 28-4 record and a No. 3 ranking nationally. This past season, he played at Chipola Junior College in Marinna, Fla. and averaged 11 points and seven rebounds per outing. Coming to NCCU from Aiken Technical College, O’Neal gives the Eagles more depth in the post along with size and athleticism. In his first season at Aiken Tech, O’Neal averaged 8.4 points, 7.0 rebounds, and 1.0 steals a contest. “This is another player on our team that is a great athlete,” said Moton. “He has a www.NCCUEaglePride.com
Justin Leemow will battle for the starting point guard position after transferring from USF. (Photo by USF Sports Info) very high motor and will certainly provide athleticism along the baseline.” Sutton, the final newcomer may be the most notable simply because he is not only a local product, but he will substantially improve the Eagles the minute he steps on the court. Transferring to NCCU from Kansas State, Sutton was vital part of the Wildcat squad that lost in the Elite Eight, playing in 37 contests as a junior while averaging 7.2 points per game including 47.7 percent from the field. He ranked in the top five on KSU’s roster in seven categories, first in offensive rebounds (93), second in rebounding, defensive rebounds (121) and steals (46), third in assists, fourth in field goal percentage and fifth in scoring. “I was estatic when Dominique contacted us to express his interest in transferring here,” said Moton. “We are excited to have a student-athlete of his caliber as a part of our men’s basketball program.” With the influx of new talent walking on NCCU’s campus along with the seven players that are returning each of these individuals has one common theme heading into Moton’s second campaign. “Every single student-athlete on this team has a chip on their shoulder wanting to prove themselves,” said Moton. When you talk about building a program it’s not always about changing the talent pool, it’s about changing the culture and the mentality of the program. We have guys who understand

2010-2011 SEASON PREVIEW who we are and our expectations off them, them and I feel like everyone on our roster feels as if they have been overlooked at some point in their life as well as myself and they want to go out and prove everyone wrong.” With NCCU playing all but two MEAC teams, the Eagles should certainly get a full serving of what their new league is all about. “We know there are some great teams and coaches in this league, but right now when you speak about the MEAC, you think Morgan State because of their success, but there are plenty of other teams that are really good as well,” said Moton. “We’re looking forward to getting out there and competing and we’ll see where the chips fall.” As far as goals for NCCU in year number two under Moton, he tries to keep simple for himself. “I know this going to be vague but my goals for this season are once again to get better each day,” said Moton. “I just want to make sure that when we walk in-between the four lines in the gym that the harder we work, the better we will become. If we do that and take care of home, I have a good feeling that we will be successful when we hit the floor.” Nevertheless, the second edition of this Eagle squad should certainly be exciting in its final transitional season, setting the stage for what should be a fun ride heading back into the MEAC after nearly 30 years away.
2010-11 Schedule The Eagles will play 13 games inside McDougald-McLendon Gym, and get a full taste of Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference play with 16 contests scheduled around the league. Despite the addition of two home games in the 2010-11 season, the Eagles will still travel nearly 1,000 more than last season. Adding up the distance to each road game to and from the Durham area, NCCU will travel approximately 17,492 miles in its final season as a transitional Division I member. “We have a very challenging schedule ahead,” said Moton. “It’s also something that we are accustomed to. Our guys look forward to the collective challenge that lies ahead as we prepare to face stiff competition night in and night out. What really gets me excited is the amount of home games we have. We have faithful fans that have supported us throughout this entire Division I transition and to play the teams we are playing in front of them, I cannot wait to feel their excitement and

lead against the Hoosiers in the first half only to fall behind a strong second half surge in an 81-58 loss. This will mark the first of two appearances for the Eagles on the Big Ten Network in the 2010-11 season. NCCU has been on the network three previous times including two last season. Tipoff from Assembly Hall is 7:00 p.m. “This will be yet another game that we can continue to build this program on,” said Moton. “For our guys to get the chance to play in front of 17,000 strong inside Assembly Hall will be a great opportunity for us. It’s also great because our great leader Chancellor Nelms gets to have a homecoming of sorts.” After the Thanksgiving holiday, NCCU returns home for two contests Nov. 27 against Allen University and Washington Adventist University on Dec. 1. The contest against Allen will tipoff at 2:00 p.m., while the game against WAU is scheduled for a 7:00 p.m. tip. WAU competes in the same league as 2009-10 opponent Newport News Apprentice School the USCAA (United States Collegiate Athletic Association). Three days after the short homestand, the Eagles will battle its first conference opponent since becoming league members as they take on the Bulldogs of South Carolina State University on Dec. 4 at 4:00 p.m. The Bulldogs finished last season third in the league with a 10-6 mark just a game behind second place Delaware State, whom the Eagles face in Dijon Manns came on strong at the end of last season Durham on Jan. 8. and will give the Eagles size down in the post. “I’m especially ecstatic about (Photo by Steven Worthy) playing in the MEAC because we finally get to experience, the fans, the swing beginning in Norman, Okla. against the Oklahoma Sooners on Nov. 15 at rivalries, and the excitement of playing in a 8:00 p.m. (EST) from the Lloyd Noble wonderful conference,” said Moton.

NCCU REJOINS MEAC NCCU REJOINS MID-EASTERN ATHLETIC CONFERENCE During a press conference on Sept. 10, 2009, the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference (MEAC) announced that North Carolina Central University would join the conference as its 13th member. And while MEAC officials along with NCCU staff, coaches, student-athletes and fans celebrated the milestone, it did not become effective until Thursday (July 1). NCCU is now back in the conference it helped establish, as one of seven founding institutions. The MEAC was confirmed in 1970, and played its first season of competition in football in 1971. The Eagles contended in the MEAC from 1971-79, winning nine conference championships in eight seasons. NCCU’s history with the conference is evidenced by having seven former coaches, administrators and studentathletes inducted into the MEAC Hall of Fame. Also celebrating admission to the MEAC on Thursday is Savannah State University, a frequent independent opponent of the Eagles during the

past three years of NCCU’s Division I reclassification. "I am elated to have such an outstanding academic institution as North Carolina Central to return to the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference," said MEAC Commissioner Dennis E. Thomas. "I would like to commend Chancellor Nelms, Dr. Wicker-McCree, and the entire NCCU family for all their continued hard work as they make the transition from Division II to Division I." Commissioner Thomas added, "The addition of NCCU keeps us in compliance with our long range strategic plan of adding up to 14 members. NCCU is a perfect fit for the MEAC." NCCU is one of seven founding member institutions of the MEAC. The Eagles withdrew from the conference in 1979, opting to remain a Division II member when the conference reclassified to Division I. From 1979-2007, NCCU competed in the Central Intercollegiate Athletic Association (CIAA). "This is a significant milestone in North Carolina Central University's transition to Division I," said NCCU Chancellor Charlie Nelms. "Membership in the MidMid-Eastern Athletic Conference Commissioner Dennis Eastern Athletic Conference is
"We now have a home!" -Dr. Ingrid Wicker-McCreeNCCU Director of Athletics a win-win proposition for our studentathletes, alumni and fans -- indeed, all our university constituents." "This is wonderful news for North Carolina Central University, but most importantly for our student-athletes, coaches and fans," said NCCU Director of Athletics, Dr. Ingrid Wicker-McCree. "The Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference is a fantastic conference with highly competitive academic and athletic institutions. For NCCU to return to the MEAC and be part of its rich history is a tremendous step for our athletics program. We now have a place to call home." The addition of NCCU marks the second expansion for the MEAC since 2007, when Winston-Salem State became the 12th member of the conference. Prior to Winston-Salem State, the MEAC expanded in the 90's with the inclusion of Norfolk State in 1997 and Hampton in 1995. NCCU becomes the third MEAC institution located in the state of North Carolina and the fourth in the Carolinas, joining WSSU, North Carolina A&T State (Greensboro), and South Carolina State (Orangeburg).

Known as Coach K’s Original High Flyer from his basketball playing days at Duke University, Brickey played under Coach Mike Krzyzewski’s guidance at Duke from 1986-1990. Brickey's previous stop came just two-and-a-half miles down the road with the Duke women’s program after a threeyear stint as the Head Men’s Basketball Coach at Shaw University (2005-08).

MOTON'S VISION: SUCCESS FOR EAGLES MOTON'S VISION: SUCCESS FOR EAGLES Raleigh native overcomes humble upbringing to become N.C. Central's New Coach WRITTEN BY EDWARD G. ROBINSON III - Staff Writer - News & Observer Published: Sun, Jun. 21, 2009 LeVelle Moton anticipates your laughter, but he's so serious ... "I want to take N.C. Central to the Final Four," he said. "It can be done. That's why we play the game. If we get there, get on that dance floor, anything can happen." He knows it sounds funny -- N.C. Central and its new basketball coach making a deep run in the NCAA Tournament. The school entered Division I two years ago. The Eagles don't play in a conference, finished last season with a 4-27 record and are not even allowed to compete in the postseason until 2011. But if Moton has learned one thing, it's never to listen to those who can't see his vision, can't understand how this kid from Southeast Raleigh rose from Boys and Girls Club participant to high school and college star to Division I head coach, all while avoiding the pitfalls of drugs and violence that befell many of his neighborhood peers. Since graduating from Enloe in 1992, where he was a McDonald's All-American Honorable Mention as a senior, he has positioned himself as an up-and-coming college coach. He's been methodical in his approach and has leveraged his status as a local basketball figure. He's earned respect and credibility within the Triangle basketball community, having created his reputation as a sweet-shooting guard at N.C. Central and a two-time conference championship coach at once-woeful Sanderson High. He's established relationships with top recruits like John Wall. He's the guy North Carolina players used to train with in the summer and NBA players consulted when they needed help. So laugh, but he's so serious ... "I don't know any better," said Moton, 35, a Raleigh native who became the program's 17th coach in March. "It was the same thing when I was at the Mini Park [basketball courts where he played growing up], and they were like, 'Here, hit this,' and I was like, 'No, because I'm going pro one day.' ... It's the same chuckle I've gotten all my life."
Avoiding trouble Moton refers to himself as the "rose that grew from concrete." It's a direct reference -- one he bor-

They lived in a two-bedroom apartment on East Jones street, where the boys shared a room. Behind their three-floor building was an empty lot where Moton and his brother shot baskets through a bike tire rim they hung on a tree. They tied shoestrings as nets. "All of this was the projects," said Moton one day last month as he toured the neighborhood blocks down from historic Oakwood. He looked at the newly developed homes, painted in pretty pastels, and said, "We would have been proud to have been from this neighborhood right there." The neighborhood he remembered paled in comparison. One block teemed with a liquor house, crack house and prostitution house. Crime, drugs and violence choked the environment, he said. From the basketball courts at the Mini Park on Lane Street he could see downtown Raleigh, but it seemed worlds away. When Moton was 9, one of his friends was struck by a stray bullet. Twice crooks burglarized his home. "It's hard seeing your door open and seeing your TV gone, VCR gone, and you know your mom has scrapped just to get that," he said. Growing up, he balanced a child's desire to venture out with his mother's non-negotiable rulebook. "He knew he couldn't get anywhere in life with a record," McDougald said. "I stressed that." Determined to keep her boys from trouwww.NCCUEaglePride.com
ble, she asked former Wake County sheriff John H. Baker Jr. to show them the inside of the county jail. "That was real," Moton said. "I saw how cats were living and wanted more out of my life." "Telling them was one thing, showing them was another," McDougald said. It was a lesson that may have saved Moton from the hardships some of his friends faced. Two of his teenage friends went to prison for robbing and killing a store clerk. His mother, who owned a cleaning service, provided what she could. Still, he was teased about his free lunches in high school. "Poor is a mentality," Moton said. "We didn't have financial money. But the love and the doctrines of making you feel good about yourself; my mother had a Ph.D. in that."
'A safe haven' If escaping poverty was Moton's motivation, then the Raleigh Boys and Girls Club was his salvation. He joined a year early, at age 5, a deal his mother brokered to allow him to attend with his older brother. "I don't know what I would have done without the Boys Club," said McDougald, whose children attended year-round. In the summer, they were there from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. They usually arrived on foot, cutting through St. Augustine's campus, past the Washington Terrace apartment complex. Ron Williams, the Raleigh club's former
MOTON'S VISION: SUCCESS FOR EAGLES athletic director, coached d Moton M t until til he h entered high school and over time became a father figure to the boy with the Slim Jim build and competitive nature. Back then, the club's motto was "the club that beats the streets." "The Boys Club was a safe haven for him," Williams said. "He could feel free to come and have a good time and without fear of all of those negative things." Moton read his first book at the Boys Club. He remains a voracious reader. "They exposed me to another side," said Moton, who easily mixed with kids from different ethnic and social backgrounds. The boys club also fostered Moton's love for sports. For a high-energy, gregarious child, they provided more than enough activities, from baseball -- his first love -- to soccer. But you could always find Moton on the basketball court. He'd play horse for a quarter. Or play one-on-one to 10. After a while, with his quick first step separating him from the pack, he'd have to spot eight points to get a game. "For 50 cent?" he said. "Yeah, I'll spot you eight."
Engaging personality Of course, Moton believes the Final Four is within N.C. Central's grasp. His childhood, he said, set the foundation for him to believe that anything is possible. He'll still spot you eight points. Nicknamed "Poetry 'N Moton," he is third among N.C. Central's all-time career scoring leaders with 1,714 points, owns the 3-point field goals made career record, is fourth in free throws made, fifth in assists, eighth in field goals made, 10th in scoring average and 11th in steals. He was named the 1996 CIAA player of the year, edging Ben Wallace, now with the NBA's Cleveland Cavaliers. After graduating from college with a bachelor's degree in recreation administration in 1996, Moton played four seasons with professional teams in Indonesia and Israel. In 2001, he returned home and took his first coaching job at West Millbrook Middle School, remaining there for three seasons until he was hired as the head coach at Sanderson. "I remember early on that this was a young man that had a tremendous capacity for doing good," said Cathy Moore, an area superintendent with the Wake County Public Schools, who was the principal at Sanderson and hired Moton. She was also his French teacher at Enloe. People tend to like Moton, even other
Now he N h has his own family. He married his wife Bridget in 2008. She gave birth to his first child, Brooke, on March 12. He signed a five-year contract with N.C. Central for an annual salary of $100,000. "I learned so much from the have-nots," Moton said. "I'm glad I was at the bottom because I got a full view of everything. Now it comes back full circle."

coaches. He's easygoing, quick to exchange handshakes and share a story. "He doesn't meet a stranger," said former Duke point guard Jeff Capel, who is now head coach at Oklahoma. Moton has collected mentors like Moore, inside and outside of basketball. "He has studied under all the good coaches, watched them and studied them," Southeast Raleigh High basketball coach John Baker III said. "He's gone through all the proper steps." In July 2007, Moton left Sanderson to take an assistant job at his college alma mater, serving as a recruiter for two seasons. His selection as head coach came as a surprise to some who felt the program needed a more experienced leader as it makes its transition from Division II. Moton understands the pressures but is determined to use the formula that allowed him to succeed so far. Despite life's challenges, he never wavered from what he knew to be the right thing. "I never wanted to disappoint my grandmother and mother," he said.
www.NCCUEaglePride.com
Moton shares those lessons with players. Many of them can relate to his underdog story. He continues to support the Raleigh Boys and Girls Club. On Aug. 7, he will sponsor a day of fun for members. "The work he does is about the people," Moore said. "It's about the students, the athletes, the colleagues he works with, about the people who have formally and informally mentored him along the way." Moton said he wants his players to answer four questions before they leave his program: Who are you? What are your core beliefs? Why are you here on this earth? And where are you going when you leave N.C. Central? What should they take from him? "The determination," he said. "The will to succeed. A lot of men will not admit it but I have an insecurity about myself. ... I'm scared if I don't make it I'm going back there." That's why Moton can talk about reaching the Final Four. "That's just how my life's been," he said. "Nobody believed me. I've always been the underdog. I've always had to prove people wrong. For me, that's cool."

WILKERSON NAMED MVP OF 2010 BC POWDER CLASSIC Junior C.J. Wilkerson (Oxford, N.C.) turned in another stellar performance during the fifth-annual BC Powder Classic. It all began with a 23-point performance on Friday night January 15 in a 75-50 win over Tennessee Temple. Wilkerson shot a very economic 9-13 that included 2-of-4 shooting from three-point land.

2009-2010 SEASON REVIEW second highest assist total in a game in NCCU was a teammate of head coach LeVelle Moton, Larry Crowder, although his 14-assist effort against Livingstone (Jan. 30, 1992) came a year prior to Moton’s arrival at NCCU. EAGLES ADD TWO TO ROSTER Following the holiday break, NCCU head coach LeVelle Moton added two student-athletes to the current roster. P.J. Taylor, a junior transfer from High Point, N.C., along with current NCCU football player, Johnathan Nicely. Taylor made his debut on Tuesday night in his hometown where he hit 3-of-4 from the free-throw line, scoring three points along with one steal in the 70-58 loss to HPU. Taylor walked-on to NCCU following stints at two junior colleges (Fullerton College and Blinn
College). He became eligible after the first semester. During his high school career at Southwest Guilford, Taylor scored over 1,000 points and was named MVP of the team. Nicely on the gridiron as a sophomore had two catches for 16 yards in nine games. Prior to his days at NCCU, Nicely averaged around 17.0 points a game for Evans High School. THE ROAD LESS TRAVELED During this transition, NCCU has faced some daunting tasks away from Durham, and it certainly has shown. NCCU has not won a road game against a Division I opponent since a 65-61 win over future conference foe, Coppin State University, back on Jan. 30, 2008. Since then, NCCU has an 0-40 record away from the friendly confines of McDougald-McLendon Gym. THE SIXTH SENSE In NCCU’s 82-63 victory over Carver Bible College, six players scored in double figures (Michael Glasker 15, Nick Chasten 15, Vincent Davis 14, C.J. Wilkerson 12, and Dami Sapara 11) a feat that had not been accomplished in nearly seven years. Back on Feb. 18, 2003 the Eagles romped over rival Winston-Salem State 91-68. That was the last contest in which six players scored in double figures for NCCU.
P.J. Taylor joined the Eagles after the holiday break and came up big numerous times for the Eagles.
DOUBLE YOUR PLEASURE, DOUBLE YOUR FUN (TWICE??) The Eagles’ second win of the season featured another feat. Nick Chasten recorded his second career doubledouble scoring 15 points and grabbing a career-high 13 rebounds. In fact, Chasten had the double-double of in the first half with 10 points and 10 rebounds. Freshman Dami Sapara dropped in his first double-double against the Cougars with a careerhigh 11 points and 11 rebounds in the win. In NCCU’s 75-50 over Tennessee Temple, the Eagles did it again with Chasten scoring 15 points and www.NCCUEaglePride.com

grabbing 10 boards, and Vincent Davis recorded his first career double-double with 13 points and a career-high 10 boards. Before Dec. 5, 2009, that feat had not been accomplished since Jan. 13. 2005. Johnathan Moore scored 25 points and grabbed 10 boards while Mintrel Abney added 12 points and 13 rebounds in a 71-65 over CIAA-rival Shaw University. WILKERSON EARNS PRAISE AT MIAMI SUBREGIONAL Junior college transfer C.J. Wilkerson racked up 56 points, 21 rebounds, and 12 assists through three games in the Miami subregional of the 2009 2KSports Classic benefiting Coaches vs. Cancer to make the All-Event team. He averaged 18.6 points, 7.0 rebounds, and 4.0 assists over the weekend.

2009-2010 SEASON REVIEW During the Murray State contest on Sunday night, Wilkerson earned his first career double-double with 14 points and 11 boards as the Eagles battled tough with the Racers. In both the FIU and James Madison contests, Wilkerson ended up with 21 points but it was against the Dukes where the junior went 11-for 12 from the free-throw line. In Friday’s ballgame against the Golden Panthers of FIU, C.J. went 8-for-20 from the field combining with Vincent Davis to lead the Eagles charge. Throughout the three-game stretch the Oxford, N.C. product also went an astounding 17-for-18 at the charity stripe to lead the Eagles. Murray State’s Ivan Aska won MVP honors during the event. Danero Thomas (Murray State), Julius Wells (James Madison), and Bill Gary, Jr. (FIU) along with Wilkerson made up the All-Event team at the Miami subregional.
percent from three-point range hitting 142-of-437 from the perimeter after 26 contests. The last time the Eagles failed to make a shot from beyond the arch was on Jan. 17, 2006, during a 64-61 victory over Livingstone College in Salisbury, N.C. From the start of the 1991-92 season until Jan. 14, 2006, NCCU made a three-pointer in 395 consecutive games, making the Eagles’ run 525 out of the last 526 contests.
EAGLES STREAK CONTINUES As a team, NCCU has made a threepoint field goal in 130 consecutive games. In NCCU’s 68-57 loss to Coastal Carolina, the Eagles hit 5-for14 (35.7%) from behind-the-arc. On the season NCCU is hitting 32.4

EAGLES IN THE NBA DRAFT NCCU’S YOUNG SELECTED TED BYY SEATTLE IN NBA DRAFT North Carolina Central University senior David Young had his dream fulfilled on June 24, 2004, when the Seattle Supersonics selected the All-CIAA guard with the 41st overall pick in the 2004 NBA Draft. Young, NCCU’s first NBA draft pick in 21 years, sat alone in an Atlanta hotel room when he saw his name flash on the television as the 12th player chosen in the second round. After ending his college career as the Eagles’ top scorer in 2003-04 with 20.5 points per game, Young faced a long and tough journey around the NBA workout circuit. “I have endured and persevered through a lot of tough times.” Young said reflecting on his life and basketball career. “I have always dreamed about playing in the NBA. I got a second opportunity at North Carolina Central University and now my dream has come true.”

EAGLES IN THE BASKETBALL HALL OF FAME NCCU Eagles Inducted into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame JOHN B. McLENDON
SAM JONES
Enshrined: As a coach on April 30, 1979 Born: April 5, 1915 in Hiawatha, KS Died: October 8, 1999 NCCU: Head Coach, 1940-1952
Enshrined: As a player on April 30, 1984 Born: June 24, 1933 in Laurinburg, NC NCCU: Student-Athlete, 1951-54 / 1956-57
John B. McLendon’s contributions to the sport of basketball are virtually innumerable. His advisor at the University of Kansas was the inventor of basketball, Dr. James Naismith. At North Carolina College from 1937 to 1952, and as head basketball coach from 1940 to 1952, he pioneered basketball’s full court game, using such strategies as the full court press, the full court zone (now known as the zone press), the open center offense whose variants include the “four corners,” the rotating pivot, and the double-pivot. In 38 years as a head coach, he achieved a collegiate coaching record of 523 wins to 165 losses for a .760 winning percentage, including a 239-68 record at NCC. He was also the first black coach in a professional basketball league (with the Cleveland Pipers in the American Basketball League in 1961) and the first black coach at a predominantly white university (Cleveland State employed him in June 1966). Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame Bio: John B. McLendon’s engaging personality made him a popular basketball figure for more than 60 years. His extraordinary knowledge of basketball history made him one of the game’s leading ambassadors. But, it is his coaching resume that makes many in the profession envious. McLendon, who learned basketball from Dr. James Naismith as an undergraduate at Kansas, is the first coach in history to win three consecutive national titles. McLendon earned this honor by guiding Tennessee State to the 1957, 1958 and 1959 NAIA national championships. McLendon championed for heightened awareness of basketball at all-black colleges, and helped initiate an era of integrated basketball. McLendon’s well-rounded coaching background included positions at the collegiate, AAU and professional level. He coached North Carolina College, Hampton Institute, Tennessee State, Kentucky State and Cleveland State along with the Cleveland Pipers (NIB-ABL) and the Denver Rockets (ABA). Named the 1958 NAIA Coach of the Year, McLendon coached teams that won eight CIAA titles between 1941 and 1952, the NIBL and AAU championships in 1961, and the ABL Eastern Division crown in 1962. McLendon, who has traveled the world promoting basketball, wrote two books, Fast Break Basketball and The Fast Break Game.

North Carolina College Playing Highlights: Scored 1,745 points playing for Hall of Fame coach John McLendon; Three-time All-Conference; Enshrined in NAIA Hall of Fame (1962). Pro Highlights (NBA Boston Celtics, 1957-69): All-NBA Second Team (1965-67); Five-time NBA All-Star (1962, 1964-66, 1968); Member of 10 championship teams (1959-66 and 1968-69); Tallied 15,411 points (17.7 ppg) in his 12-year career; Scored 2,909 points in 154 playoff games (18.9 ppg), 15th best in history; NBA 25th Anniversary Team (1970); NBA 50th Anniversary Team (1996). Hall of Fame Bio: At six-footfour, Sam Jones was the prototype of the tall guard who could run the floor, bang the boards and had a rangy offensive game that gave opponents fits. One of the “Jones Boys” in Boston, Sam teamed with K.C. in the Celtics backcourt to create havoc in NBA arenas around the country. Jones favored an unorthodox but highly effective “bank shot” that became the muscle behind his and Boston’s 10 NBA championships, including eight in a row (1958-66). As a collegian, Jones was an offensive firehouse scoring 1,745 points while playing for Hall of Fame coach John McLendon at all-black North Carolina College. Jones was not a collegiate All-America and was a relative unknown, but that didn’t sway Red Auerbach, who drafted Sam in the first round of the 1957 draft. Jones didn’t disappoint the Boston faithful. His 12-year NBA career included five All-Star Game appearances, 871 regular season games and 154 playoff games. Considered one of the NBA’s most prolific graceful shooters, Jones scored 15,411 points (17.7 ppg), plus 2,909 (18.9 ppg) more in the playoffs. Considered one of the fastest NBA guards with superb court vision and savvy, Jones led the Celtics in scoring three times, averaging a career-high 25.9 points in 1965. An extremely popular player, in 1970 Jones was selected to the NBA Silver Anniversary Team (1970), a composition of the greatest NBA stars of the league’s first 25 years. He later would be named one of the top 50 players in history when the NBA celebrated its 50th Anniversary in 1996.

CHANCELLOR CHARLIE NELMS Chancellor Charlie Nelms assumed d his duties as Chancellor of North Carolina Central University August 1, 2007. Prior to joining the NCCU family, Nelms served as vice president for Institutional Development and Student Affairs at Indiana University, which enrolls approximately 100,000 students on eight campuses. In his role as IU’s vice president for Institutional Development and Student Affairs, Nelms was responsible for a combination of duties on the Bloomington campus and systemwide that spanned university planning, institutional research and effectiveness, enrollment management, student affairs, academic support services, K-12 outreach initiatives, student retention, honors programs,
and diversity and equity efforts. In September 2001, TIME magazine named IU’s Bloomington campus the number-one student-centered research university in the nation. Many of the programs cited by TIME were under Nelms’ oversight and direction. A native of Crawfordsville, Arkansas, Nelms majored in agronomy and chemistry at the University of Arkansas at Pine Bluff, graduating in 1968. He later earned a master’s degree in higher education and student affairs (1971) and a doctoral degree in higher education administration (1977) from Indiana University. Early in his career, he rose through the faculty and administrative ranks as associate dean for Student Development at Earlham College in Indiana (1973-1977), associate director of the Center for Human Development and Education Services at the UAPB (19771978), associate dean for Academic Affairs at Indiana University Northwest (19781984) and vice president for Student Services at Sinclair Community College in Ohio (1984- 1987). In 1987, Nelms began a seven-year tenure as chancellor of Indiana University East, a commuter campus serving east-central Indiana. During his tenure there, the campus was the fastest-growing college in the State of Indiana. In 1994, Nelms was named chancellor of the University of Michigan at Flint (UMF), an urban campus that enrolls over 6,500 students and offers a full spectrum of undergraduate and master’s degree programs. Before being recruited to Indiana University in 1998, he resolved a significant campus budget deficit, reversed a four-year enrollment decline, and secured more than $75 million in private gifts to UMF.

UNIVERSITY PROFILE History In 1910, Dr. James E. Shepard envisioned and founded a school that prepared African American adults for leadership roles in our nation’s communities. Founded as the National Religious Training School and Chautauqua, North Carolina Central University (NCCU) became the nation’s first state-supported historically black liberal arts college. In 1923, the National Training School became the state-supported Durham State Normal School, devoted to “the training of teachers for the Colored Public Schools of North Carolina.” Two years later, Dr. Shepard was able to persuade the General Assembly to take a revolutionary step, making the institution a liberal arts college and naming it North Carolina College for Negroes in 1925. The School of Law was established in 1940 and the School of Library Science in 1941. By the time of Dr. Shepard’s death on October 6, 1947, the institution that had become North Carolina College at Durham was fully-accredited, highly respected and had become the alma mater of a growing list of distinguished alumni. Today, under the leadership of Chancellor Charlie Nelms, NCCU is a comprehensive university offering more than 100 bachelor’s degrees in various disciplines, 40 master’s degree programs and three professional degrees in law. The university reaches out to all racial and ethnic groups, and has a diverse student population of more than 8,000. New Initiatives NCCU is on the cutting edge with its Biomanufacturing Research Institute and Technology Enterprise known as BRITE. The institute offers new bachelor’s and master’s
d i pharmaceutical h ti l degrees in science. These programs provide students with core scientific competencies in biology or chemistry as well as hands-on laboratory practice. In addition, there are seminar courses in drug development operations, FDA regulations, quality assurance and control, and intellectual property and patent law. NCCU’s BRITE is an important part of the statewide initiative to make North Carolina a premiere provider of skilled workers for the biotechnology industry. The School of Law has won kudos for providing top-notch legal education. According to Vault, Inc., a publishing firm that researches and collects data on diverse professions, the law school has not received the acknowledgment it is due. Vault surveyed 512 recruiters who identified 25 “underrated” schools, and the NCCU School of Law was ranked at number 14. NCCU and the African American Jazz Caucus are partnering to form the NCCU/ AAJC Jazz Research Institute (NAJRI) in an effort to preserve the integrity of jazz as an African American art form. One of the functions of the Institute will be to address the critical artistic and economic situation of jazz in the African American community as well as develop other initiatives such as a North Carolina Hall of Fame dedicated to highlighting the work of jazz artists from North Carolina. In an effort to bring more study abroad options to students, NCCU has been accepted as a member of the International Student Exchange Program (ISEP), a nonprofit membership organization that provides affordable and diverse study abroad and exchange opportunities to students around the world. NCCU is only one of four historically black college or university in the ISEP network. ISEP membership makes it possible for NCCU students to study abroad at over 135 different universities in 39 countries. NCCU is the first historically black institution in the nation to have an athletic training education program accredited by the Commission on Accreditation of Allied Health Education Programs. Built upon the motto of Truth and Service, NCCU is a university committed to preparing and equipping students with the knowledge and skills to compete in the global marketplace.

ATHLETICS DEPARTMENT North Carolina Central University is competing in its second year of reclassification as an NCAA Division I institution (Football Championship Subdivision), and the Eagles will be playing as an independent during the 2009-10 athletics campaign. Fourteen men’s and women’s sports teams participate in National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) competition at the Division I-FCS level. Men’s intercollegiate teams include football, basketball, baseball, indoor and outdoor track & field, tennis, golf and cross country. Women’s intercollegiate teams include basketball, volleyball, indoor and outdoor track & field, tennis, softball, bowling and cross country. NCCU’s athletic programs have enjoyed regional and national recognition for years, headlined by the 1989 NCAA Division II Men’s Basketball National Championship. NCCU’s commitment to a balanced athletic program, providing equitable resources to all of its sports teams, is abundantly
apparent. In five of the last eight years in the Central Intercollegiate Athletic Association (CIAA), NCCU claimed the Loretta Taylor AllSports Trophy, recognizing the top all-around women’s program in the conference. In 2007-08, NCCU’s first season of Division I (FCS) competition, the women’s volleyball team kicked off the Division I era with a dramatic, come-from-behind win over N.C. State, then cruised to 21 victories, all against Division I opponents. The football team finished its first Division I season with a 6-4 record, the Eagles fourth straight winning season. The men’s and women’s cross country teams each won four of their seven events. The men’s basketball team played one of the toughest schedules in the country, while traveling more than 22,000 miles and playing in 13 different states. The squad earned a road victory over the eventual Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference (MEAC) champions and capped the season with a win over rival Winston-Salem State University at the MEAC Tournament. Finally, the track and field program won two events at the prestigious Penn Relays and qualified two student-athletes for the USA Indoor Track and Field Championships in Boston. In 2006-07, NCCU’s final season in the NCAA Division II, the Eagles placed 24th in the final standings of the U.S. Sports Academy Directors’ Cup, the prestigious award presented annually to the best overall collegiate athletics programs in the country. In 2006-07, NCCU won four CIAA team championships and participated in nine NCAA Division II Championship events.

James Naismith, the inventor of the game of basketball, McLendon is credited with the development of the zone press, fast break and four corners offense. Boston Celtics great Sam Jones, a student-athlete under McLendon and a fellow Hall-ofFamer, became the first black player to be drafted in the first round after scoring a record 1,745 points during his stellar NCCU career. Internationally-renowned artist, Ernie Barnes - best-known for his famous paintings seen on the 1970s sitcom “Good Times” - played football for the NCCU prior to a professional gridiron career with the Baltimore Colts, San Diego Chargers and Denver Broncos. The LeRoy T. Walker Physical Education Complex houses a multi-purpose gymnasium, Olympic-sized swimming and diving pool, athletic training facilities, strength and fitness center, and much more.

ATHLETICS DIRECTOR
Ingrid Wicker-McCree Director of Athletics Ingrid Wicker-McCree, Ed.D. was appointed as the Director of Athletics at North Carolina Central University on April 23, 2008, after holding the interim position for five months. She officially began her new leadership role on May 1, 2008. Wicker-McCree,who joined the rank of only a handful of women athletic directors in the UNC system, previously served as NCCU’s associate athletics director for internal affairs. She has served in a variety of leadership positions in both conference and national level organizations, most notably as president of the Central Intercollegiate Athletic Association (CIAA) Executive Board from 2004-06, becoming only the second woman to ever hold that position in the league’s history. In addition, she served as a member of the NCAA’s Division II Legislation Committee from 2003-07. In recognition of her work, Wicker-McCree received the CIAA Leadership Award for Service as president of the Executive Board and was named the CIAA Senior Woman Administrator of the Year in the spring of 2006. Now in her 15th year at NCCU, Wicker-McCree has been one of the driving forces behind NCCU’s reclassification to NCAA Division I. Since 1998, she has overseen the internal operations of the Athletics Department, including all compliance and eligibility programs. Her impact on this university's athletic department has been immense. It has been her strong leadership skills that have enabled NCCU to make the trek to Division I a successful one thus far. With her steadfast and forward thinking she has increased the number of staff members two-fold while merging and creating a brand-new fund raising arm for the Athletic department, The Eagle Club. Not to mention the nearly one million dollars worth of upgrades to O'Kelly Riddick Stadium with the brand-new Mondoturf playing surface and the newlyinstalled videoscoreboard called, "Eaglevision". Those are just a few of the changes and additions that she has set in motion during her time, and those will certainly go a long way into planting the seeds of her legacy. Wicker-McCree began her career at NCCU as the head coach for women’s volleyball and softball. She became the first coach in NCCU history to win conference championships in multiple sports, capturing the school’s first-ever CIAA titles in softball (1998) and volleyball (1999, 2004, 2005). A three-time CIAA Volleyball Coach of the Year (1999, 2002, 2005) and former member of the NCAA Division II National Volleyball Committee, Wicker-McCree earned 239 match victories in 12 seasons as head volleyball coach at NCCU. She was also inducted into the NCCU Athletic Hall of Fame in 2004 as head coach of the 1998 softball team. A native of Durham and graduate of C.E. Jordan High School, Wicker-McCree played on two North Carolina high school state volleyball championship teams, while also lettering in basketball and track and field. She continued her volleyball playing career as a student-athlete at George Washington University. Wicker-McCree earned her undergraduate degree in criminal justice from George Washington University in 1989, and a master’s degree in recreation resources administration

“Winning” for the Eagles is more than outscoring the opponent, it is excelling in the classroom, actively participating in community service projects and adhering to NCAA rules regarding recruitment and admission of studentathletes. How can you help the Eagles win?
Follow the NCAA rules The NCAA defines an institution as the University, its employees, its
114
student-athletes, and its representatives of athletics interests, including parents alumnus/and fans. Therefore beware of the following: NCAA BYLAW 13.1.2.1 In Division I, representatives of an institution’s athletics interests are prohibited from making in-person, on- or off-campus recruiting contacts, including written and/or telephonic communications with a prospect or the prospect’s relatives or legal guardians.
www.NCCUEaglePride.com
A prospect is defined as any student who has started classes for the ninth grade, whether the student participates in athletics is not relevant to the classification as a prospect and neither is gender. NCAA BYLAW 16.02.3 An extra benefit is any special arrangement by an institutional employee or a representative of the institution’s athletics interests to provide a student-athlete or the student-athlete’s relative or friend a benefit not expressly authorized by NCAA legislation. Unless you are willing to give a benefit to all 8,000 students at NCCU, don’t give it to a studentathlete or a prospect.
MID-EASTERN ATHLETIC CONFERENCE HISTORY MID-EASTERN ATHLETIC CONFERENCE HISTORY sified as a Division I conference by the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA). Prior to that year the league operated as a Division II conference. The following month the MEAC received an automatic qualification to the NCAA Division I Men's Basketball Championship. Currently, the league has automatic qualifying bids for NCAA postseason play in baseball (since 1994), men's basketball (since 1981), women's basketball (since 1982), football (since 1996), softball (since 1995), men and women's tennis (since 1998), and volleyball (since 1994).

History: In 1969, a bold ad hoc group of innovators long associated with intercollegiate athletics met in Durham, N.C., to discuss the feasibility of organizing a new conference. Dissected from these discussions, a steering and planning committee was formed to fully investigate the idea, present a detailed report with recommendations to interested collegiate institutions, and then construct a workshop to outline proposals. After adopting a program, seven institutions (Delaware State College, Howard University, University of Maryland Eastern Shore, Morgan State University, North Carolina A&T State University, North Carolina Central University and South Carolina State College) agreed to become the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference. Its major objective was to establish, organize and supervise an intercollegiate athletic program among a compact group of educational institutions of high academic standards and with a sound philosophy of co-curricular activities. The league agreed to seek Division I status for its sports. The conference was confirmed in 1970, kicking off its first season of competition in football in 1971. In 1978, a milestone was reached when the MEAC selected Kenneth A. Free to be its first full-time commissioner. He had been preceded by three interim (part-time) commissioners: Dr. Leroy Walker (1971-74); who later had the distinction of serving as the President of the United States Olympic
Committee, the late Earl Mason (1974-75) and the late Dr. James Young (1975-78). Kenneth A. Free served the conference for 18 years before stepping down in May of 1996. In July of 1996, Charles S. Harris was named commissioner and served in the capacity until April 2002. Longtime MEAC administrator Brenda H. McCoy served two stints as Interim Commissioner, one in 1996 (May-June) and again in 2002 (April-August). On September 1, 2002, Dr. Dennis E. Thomas was named the commissioner and has served in the position for seven years. The leagues' first expansion occurred in October 1979 when Bethune-Cookman College and Florida A&M University were voted into the MEAC as new members. Original members Morgan State, North Carolina Central and Maryland Eastern Shore withdrew from the conference at the end of the 1979-80 fiscal year. Maryland Eastern Shore was readmitted in 1981 and Morgan State returned in 1984. Florida A&M opted to resign in 1984 but rejoined the conference in 1986. Coppin State College was granted admittance in 1985, becoming the ninth member institution.
The MEAC initiated cross country in 1980 and North Carolina A&T earned the inaugural men's crown. The first women's cross country championship took place a year later with Howard winning the first of its seven titles. Indoor Track and Field was also added in 1981 with South Carolina State capturing the men's title and Howard winning the women's crown. Tennis and golf returned as MEAC governed sports in 1981, after a five-year hiatus. South Carolina State won all seven of the league's golf championships from 19721983 before the sport was discontinued after the 1983 championship. Morgan State dominated the conference in wrestling winning 13 of 24 conference championships during the sports tenure from 1972 through 1995. Baseball, which began in 1972, was discontinued following the 1977 season. It was brought back as a MEAC governed sport along with women's volleyball in 1983. Women's softball became a MEAC sanctioned sport in 1992. Bowling was officially sanctioned as a MEAC governed sport in 1999. Before that season, the MEAC was the first conference to secure NCAA sanctioning for women's bowling by adopting the club sport prior to the 1996-97 school year.
The MEAC expanded again in the 1990's with the inclusion of Hampton University (1995) and Norfolk State University (1997). The final expansion occurred in 2007, with the addition of Winston-Salem State University. On June 8, 1980, the MEAC was claswww.NCCUEaglePride.com
