Luke Kuechly and Jay Bilas were speakers Monday night at the Winthrop Men’s Basketball Kickoff.
The event was held at the home of Head Coach Pat Kelsey and many members of the Rock Hill community were in attendance.
When discussing whether they could get Kuechly and Bilas to come to the event Athletic Director Ken Halpin said, “Well we already have no. Let’s see if we can turn that no into a yes.”
Bilas visited Winthrop’s Rock the Globe back in 2013.
“To pursue the best mid-major in the country and to be something significant we have to do something significant and we can’t do it alone,” said Halpin. “Rock Hill is a community that is not a stranger to advancing athletics and advancing the community through athletics.”
Winthrop Men’s Basketball kicks off their season November 12th against Ferrum.
