I say we dance with the ones we have. What could possibly go wrong?
Seriously, though. What next? Who are we looking at? Who should we be looking at?

…We got 4 guys that can play the 4 and 5 position…
4 guys that Hubert Davis desperately tried to recruit over since the season ended. That says everything.Not worried a bit…We got 4 guys that can play the 4 and 5 position…Add a shooter that can play 2 or 3 and let’s go…
Slinger, best I can tell Hubert has missed on 2 centers and only 2 so far, Therio does not look great for us right now but he is a non-jump shooting 4. ALL the rest of the guys that have been talked about so much, like Ballo, Wolf, ect were not misses, Hubert vetted them and passed.Well I can play the 4 and 5 positions too but our team wouldn’t want to rely on it.
It’s not as bad as some are making it. Lots of info points to us not even pursuing some of the guys we’ve been linked to (Wolf, Ballo). Or at least, it was minimal effort. So I don’t think Hubert is striking out left and right like it might seem to the casual observer.
But I do think the staff has been somewhat arrogant in their approach. Thinking they can be as picky as they’ve been. Or thinking they had one in the bag (Cliff?).
Panic? Nah, I’d have to care more for that. And I also still have to believe that there was an emergency plan in place in the event this happened. If not, you really have to question the staff’s efforts.
undersized guard .. at the 2 to be more specific and not a lot of quality beef inside .. we shall seeUndersized guards
IC did their little emergency podcast thing where they were forced to admit UNC now has no margin for error. And they're tossing out names like FSU's pencil thin Baba Miller with his 7 points and 5 rebounds per game. 29% from 3pt range, 55% from the FT line, and thinks he's a guard. This where we are at. This is what our NIL leadership has delivered.If you’re not worried then you probably should be.
The worst part of NIL can sometimes be helpful, in that even if this year somehow stinks all it takes is one offseason to reload.I didn't have Final Four expectations with Cliff Omoruyi so I guess I'm not really in a panic.
That isn't to say I don't have concerns about UNC's big picture. But if there happens to be a downfall of UNC basketball, I don't think the reason for it is because Cliff Omoruyi didn't play at UNC.The worst part of NIL can sometimes be helpful, in that even if this year somehow stinks all it takes is one offseason to reload.
Garrison Brooks easily. My least favorite 4 year player of all time.I'm trying to figure out the last time UNC basketball didn't have a decent center. I noticed that both the 2017/2018 and 2018/2019 teams had players like Garrison Brooks, Sterling Manley, and Brandon Huffman, but from what I remember, none of them had significant playing time. The 2018/2019 team finished 29-7 and lost to Auburn in the Sweet 16.
It's surprising to think that there isn't a talented player overseas who wouldn't jump at the chance to play for UNC.
How are you feeling about the prospect of teams like Wake Forest dominating us in the post?I didn't have Final Four expectations with Cliff Omoruyi so I guess I'm not really in a panic.
2021 - we got Garcia and ManekNot worried. I mean seems the years of dominant UNC basketball has long been gone now we just hope things fall into place and we get lucky. Anyone who says differently is confused. When was the last time we have been pretty much able to pick and choose who we want and get them without much effort. Seems Hubert is relying on the past to bring guys to CH. like someone said before without the willingness to join the nil era we are just hoping recruits wanna be here rather than convincing them this is THE place to be. I’m sure some of not all may disagree must so be it. I’m waiting for certain ones to say how delusional CB I am so carry on. Yes we did ok with the portal last year but it is an every year thing not once every now and then.
We have 3 open scholarships. No need to worry about holding a scholarship open. Most transfers won't even visit us now.Need a miracle like a player pulling from the draft and suiting up I would keep a scholly open for that

At some point we’re gonna pull the trigger on guys that are a big reach so just don’t do it 3 timesWe have 3 open scholarships. No need to worry about holding a scholarship open. Most transfers won't even visit us now.
Yes it does, it opens up the paint for opposing teams to score easily and constantly.Id rather start Washington at the 5.
Opens up the paint.
Why not? We have 3 scholarships. Might as well give ourselves the best chances that one of these guys will be competent.At some point we’re gonna pull the trigger on guys that are a big reach so just don’t do it 3 times
I see catching lighting in the bottle two seasons ago for a 5 1/2 game run. I see a disasterous 2023 campaign with an embarrasing ending. I see a medicore season this year only salvaged by a regular season "championship" in a mediocre ACC and a loss in the Sweet 16 to a football school. This is "back to the top of the game so quickly?"I am not even slightly concerned! I actually believe the evidence I see right in front of me! I see a coach who has recruited all sources extremely well in the past and I expect him to keep on doing it! I have no idea what some peeps see and I have no idea how a UNC fan could feel so negatively about the guy that got us back to the top of the game so quickly!
I'll read a book while watching the games.How are you feeling about the prospect of teams like Wake Forest dominating us in the post?
I don't know about a Final Four, but Armando was better than Omoruyi on pretty much every measure. According to some, maybe Omoruyi's a bit stronger; maybe a bit better rim protector. But it's not like Armando was chopped liver.I didn't have Final Four expectations with Cliff Omoruyi so I guess I'm not really in a panic.
I think it's more that we don't have confidence that JWash can handle the pounding - game in, game out, game after game. He could be that guy, but we haven't seen it yet.I’m totally on board with Jalen Washington as our starting center. Many posters have denigrated his abilities.
You can keep repeating the InsideCarolina line that we have a "competitive NIL" but it doesn't make it true.Read more than this board please! It has been reported that our NIL package is at least competitive with all others!
The UNC coaching staff doesn't want him to be the starting center. Why is that so hard to understand?I’m totally on board with Jalen Washington as our starting center. Many posters have denigrated his abilities.

Are there any authoritative sources who are reporting actual comparative numbers? I've seen the claims that we are competitive, but they all come across as hearsay. Might be true, but who knows?It has been reported that our NIL package is at least competitive with all others!
Did the staff seriously pursue Ballo or Bradshaw?You can keep repeating the InsideCarolina line that we have a "competitive NIL" but it doesn't make it true.
What is true is Ballo, Wolf, Aidoo, Bradshaw, and Thiero never even visited Chapel Hill. And the reason is our "competitive NIL" wouldn't pay them.
