This game is being played in Pennsylvania but the Panthers could easily be seen as Redwoods in California. Check these numbers out:,Ndiaye 6’10 at 215, Corhen 6’10 and 235 (he is the man man for Pittsburgh in the paint) Kante 6’10 and 235, and the Diaz Graham brothers: Guillermo 7’ and 224 and Jorge 6’11 weighing 215.

Washington and Lubin and others will have their hands full with all of this beef

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!

Arch, I believe that every player that has played for Hubert loves him as a person, I do not think they respect him as a coach. Every kid that ever played for Dean Smith loved Dean Smith but EVERY kid that ever played for Dean Smith knew they had total respect for Dean Smith, similar can be said about Roy.

Had Dean told his players early in a game that he wanted them to hop up and down the court on 1 leg for the first 2mins, know what would have happened, we would have seen 5 guys hopping up and down on 1 leg! Why, because each and every guy knew, Dean Smith knows what he is doing, you may not understand why but you trusted Dean did. Don't believe me, did not great players play the 4Cs a LOT under Dean, could any other coach have done that and not see players revolt? LOL

Players don't want their coach to be their buddy they want their coach to be a coach, to show them what to do when they don't know, to teach them what they need to know, there has to be a clear and unmistakable line. It is none of the coach's darn business what my favorite cookie is, I need to know what I can do to get more minutes.
