For those of you not up on your Cape Fear geography, Wrightsville is a great little town next to Wilmington, a fantastic town in its own right and home to fellow CAA school, UNC-Wilmington. Anyway, Frank texted me to let me know about a good CAA hoops article he read in the local paper while down there. Before I even checked out the article, I was 99% sure it was written by Brian Mull. Which brings me to this, if you are a CAA hoops fan, you should be reading Brian&#8217;s work.<\/p>\n<p>Before we go any further, do yourself a favor and go bookmark <a href=\"http:\/\/hawkshoops.blogs.starnewsonline.com\/\">Brian&#8217;s UNCW Hoops blog<\/a>. Go ahead, I&#8217;ll wait. And don&#8217;t stop there, make a point to read Brian&#8217;s work for the <a href=\"http:\/\/hawkshoops.blogs.starnewsonline.com\/\">Star News Online<\/a> on a regular basis. Given that it&#8217;s a Wilmington outlet, a lot of his coverage is obviously focused on the Seahawks. His coverage of the CAA in general though, is second to none in my opinion. He actually covers the league in full, instead of just focusing on one team and sprinkling in random highlights from around the league. His <a href=\"http:\/\/hawkshoops.blogs.starnewsonline.com\/category\/caa-summer-reports\/\">CAA Summer Reports<\/a> are well thought out, objective, and extremely informative. Oh, and he also shares JMUSB&#8217;s opinion, that <a href=\"http:\/\/hawkshoops.blogs.starnewsonline.com\/12350\/caa-summer-report-james-madison\/\">Denzel and the Dukes could make some real noise this year<\/a>. For his outstanding coverage of CAA basketball, Brian earns himself a endorsement from this blog. That&#8217;s probably worth next to nothing for him, but reading his blog will definitely help you as a CAA fan.<\/p>\n<iframe src=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/plugins\/like.php?href=https%3A%2F%2Fjmusportsblog.com%2F%3Fp%3D1140&amp;layout=standard&amp;show_faces=true&amp;width=450&amp;action=like&amp;colorscheme=light&amp;height=80\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"0\" style=\"border:none; overflow:hidden; width:450px; height:80px;\" allowTransparency=\"true\"><\/iframe>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Our buddy Frank, better known as the JMUSB Special Hoops Correspondent, was vacationing in lovely Wrightsville Beach, NC last week.
