In today’s college athletics, there isn’t much of an off-season for major sports like football and basketball, which makes for a busy spring on and off the field. For Charlotte, while they failed to make the NCAA Tournament, they’ve been busy trying to rebuild their roster for 2024-25. Biff Poggi completed his second spring, as Charlotte’s head football coach, as he looks to guide the 49ers to their second-ever bowl appearance, and Charlotte softball made the NCAA Tournament, after winning the American Conference tournament, their first season in the conference.

To talk about it all, Hunter Bailey, who covers the 49ers for The Charlotte Observer, joined the Wes & Walker Show on WFNZ, as he talked about the spring that Poggi conducted, and why they are poised to take a big step in 2024, how Charlotte softball cam build off a successful 2024-24, the job Aaron Fearne is doing in the transfer portal, as the full-time head coach of the 49ers, & more.
