Sometimes smart, sometimes silly — always Seahawks.
Perchcast is a weekly show focused on the people and stories of UNCW athletics with a strong emphasis toward men's basketball. We aim to go deeper than the headlines and tweets, and use interviews, analytics and occasionally the eye-test to connect fans with the Seahawks.
It's late September, and you know what that means: college basketball is back!
UNCW offered fans a public look at the 2026-27 Seahawks with an open practice on Saturday at Trask, so naturally, we consumed every second to cook up some hot takes for you.
Perchcast #UNCWTwitter Rookie of the Year Zach Fernandes joins Uncle Bill and Brant to break down what they saw during the 90-minute session that included typical practice stuff plus a good scrimmage period.
- Big Pat continues to be Big Pat. That's good for us. Bad for the CAA.
- Expect plentiful Treyvon Maddox propaganda from us this season.
- CJ Luster is more than a shooter!
- Jahnathan Lamothe brings a playmaking element
- Gavin Walsh is looking healthy!
- Plenty more

Big Numbers, New Members, and a Fresh Menu feat. Mike Oblinger
UNCW Athletics Director Mike Oblinger joins us for the summer edition of our semi-annual sit-down series.
We covered plenty of ground over 50 minutes, including the CAA's newest member, record fundraising for the Seahawk Club, and all of the facilities questions you've gotten to know and love.
Enjoy!

You're Gonna Love this Guy feat. Xavier Brown
UNCW's latest transfer portal addition might be the most important, as fifth-year point guard Xavier Brown is set to join the Seahawks for the 2026-27 season.
You'll only need a few minutes to understand exactly why Brown is the perfect fit for this team, especially with a number of experienced leaders heading on to play pro basketball.
We discuss his path from the Tidewater area to college hoops, growing up as the son of a coach, being overlooked in the recruiting process and how he found a fit with former Seahawk Mark Byington at James Madison. We also dive into what he learned this season, suffering the first major injury of his basketball career and being forced to the sideline after the third game at South Florida.
It's unfortunate we've only got a year with Xavier, because he's destined to be an all-time favorite in Trask!
