WSSU’s Wilhelmi likes his recruiting class

WINSTON-SALEM, North Carolina -- Coach James Wilhelmi of Winston-Salem State arrived at the Bowman Gray Stadium field house dressed in a suit and tie as if he were ready to coach a game.

There was no game scheduled, but he was more than ready to discuss his latest recruiting class.

“This is a great mixture of guys who we feel can help us and keep us at that upper level of the CIAA,” Wilhelmi said about his second recruiting class as a head coach.
