Coach Phil Cunningham states a key part of rebuilding ULM program is recruiting. As for recruiting he states that having talent is a major part in succeeding at this level.
ULM Men's Basketball has at least 2-3 players returning from the previous year. Coach Cunningham also wants these players to provide a great example and experience on the goals that are being set for the upcoming year.
Coach Cunningham also leans on relationship building. He wants him and his coaches to dwell on building trust and relationships with his players as he believes that college basketball is way more than NIL or making is professionally it's about the comradery.
