MONROE, La. — ULM head men's basketball coach Ryan Cross has announced his signing class for the 2026-27 season. The recruiting class is made up of one high school recruit, six transfer portal additions and seven junior college recruits.
Cam Campbell is welcomed as the lone return of ULM's 2025-26 team.Â
Â
"I am very pleased with the class that our staff was able to put together," said Cross. "As I stated in my introductory press conference, the goal is very simple; we want to put a team on the floor that can compete in the Sun Belt and play meaningful basketball in the month of March. We have assembled a roster that will give us a chance to produce that result. We will play a very challenging non-conference schedule that will prepare these guys for the rigors of Sun Belt action. I look forward to getting these guys to campus and starting our journey."
