Next might be great, but my concern isnt year its the next year, and just because it looks good on paper don't mean he can lead it. Remember we started #1 on the cover of Sports Illustrated, only to miss the tournament and decline the NIT.

He can't coach he's proven that all we are doing by giving him another year is setting us back by 3 more years.
That's my position. He's proven he can recruit ... so could John Bunting.

DS, good points on JWash. Out of desperation, HD probably thinks he has no choice but to play folks out of position. I guess since he is the coach in a big time position, I have to assume he knows best. I've never coached bball(just played) but played and coached other sports. From my experience, especially playing out of position, there has to be a specific need. Things such as injury, in game adjustments and other specific reasons may require out of position scinarios, primarily in the short term. However taking a player that has intensely trained and played at a high level for years at a specific position and throwing him in a different role is not a plan for success. Yes there are exceptions but you get my point. It's a huge fail on how this team has been constructed and in turn the numerous, resulting failures. It wouldn't surprise me if at a minimal JWash hit the portal. It seems there are team issues, could there be others likely to bail?
I would suggest we have at least 3 starters in Seth, JWash, and Drake all playing and out of their real position and that is even with a 5'11" 2 guard and the kicker is it is not due to injury? There is a lot of freakin out going on about a thing you had to know full well was going to happen before the first game was played this season, why freak out now? It is not as if this is a total surprise, it was the expectation after the portal closed. And the double down kicker is that even as small as this team is, it can still win big time games if we stopped handicapping our selves where we don't need to.

Which of the Carolina players is the leader of team?

Dsouthr I for one would not be too sure that Capt Jack is a one and done because even if he reminds me of Vinnie Johnson know as the microwave who can carry a team on and off the bench his defense is a no show many times on the hardwood and that is the exact reason he spent so much time on the bench in yesterday’s game…It has been mentioned many times during broadcast that Jackson calls Coach Davis EVERY NIGHT to ask him how he can improve his OVERALL game. Coach Davis spent many years in the NBA and he knows how important instant offense is to the success of a team but he also knows if you don’t play defense your career will be in the G league or playing overseas…
Honestly, there should not even be a discussion of should Jack come back or not but we live in Bizarro world for college sports, right is wrong and up is down? Jack really should come back, his game is just not ready but the NBA has hung this huge "potential" sign on him such that he will be drafted in or very near lotto. Even worse is that if he were to elect to come back the NBA would devalue him on the spot, consider him damaged in some way and cost him draft position.

It is a sad thing that we fans will not be able to enjoy a soph version of Jack, be lucky to see a soph version of Drake but these are very different times we now live in.

THis is supposed to be a positive thread about an outstanding 5 * recruit!!!!

JWash was a center his whole life. To play him and Lubin together means someone has to sit. So that means we take Seth, Drake, or Ian and remove/lessen our most consistent energy guys from the lineup??? You would tell Ian and Drake that even though you worked your tails off, and have demonstrated you are good for the team, we will still sit you???. NOPE. That would cause more trouble than it fixes! It would astonish me if JWash enters the portal and I cannot stand when we suggest or even imply such things. Doesn't sound like Family to me. How could anyone watch the development of RJ, EC, Seth, JWash, and the rapid growth of JB and even suggest that this staff doesn't develop players? AND EC did not deserve the keys to our ride until he matured into the player who could handle it! He is still learning to manage his emotions and I propose he is farther down the road due to our staff's handling of his responsibilities! BTW: RJ isn't taking any wild step back heat checks and he has increased his assists exponentially! Recruiting doesn't happen in a vacuum, so we can't just use hindsight to say what should have been done. It is impossible to focus on 6 peeps without some of them feeling like second choices so what should Hubs have done? He spent time and resources pursuing 3 Bigs that looked very promising and keeping in contact with others and we whiffed. So freakin' what! Do you really feel like we should have abandoned all UNC stands for and just tried to outbid peeps for mercenaries? I do not now nor will I ever feel this way! This team does have a small margin and needs to play with maximum effort to win. Beating the dead horse over and over again will not change anything, but we might be able to help by going to the game and actually cheering FOR them instead of rallying the troops against our beloved team! There is always an empty seat next to my wife and me so I'll ask the guy for you if any of you want to actually help!
