Under the guidance of the Northern Kentucky-native Brannen, NKU has welcomed a recruiting class this fall that garnered national-recognition. Kentucky's Mr. Basketball Carson Williams highlights a class that also features Kentucky Mr. Basketball-finalist Mason Faulkner, Ohio DIII Player of the Year and two-time state champion Dantez Walton, Kansas City player of the year Blake Spellman, Tre Cobbs (two-time state champion teammate of Walton's), Jalen Tate and Brandon Maxwell, son of two-time NBA Champion Vernon Maxwell.
 
NKU will be led by returning players Drew McDonald, Cole Murray and Lavone Holland. McDonald was an all-freshman team honoree last year and Cole Murray was one of the top-10 three-point shooters in the nation. Holland was a double-figure scorer that also led the Norse in assists at more than four per game.
