It's viewed that way by the whole world except you inbreeds.

the proper grammar is inbreds, you doltish product of inbreeding....your inbred mental deficiency makes me question the results of your purported survey of around 6 billion adult humans.

But say just for the sake of argument that you're right. Either way, you're still a highly suggestible dolt.

Real alternative? REAL? Take my word for it, Kamala Harris is a real alternative. In fact, she's so real that she's our worst nightmare.

I couldn't agree more that she's OUR worst nightmare.

FIFY

No real surprise that she'd be considered a real alternative by someone who believes Joe Biden was 'doing a helluva job'. Know anyone who said Joe Biden was doing a helluva job? I do. YOU. You'll have to forgive us if we don't find you credible.

Some of those players absolutely could have been one-and-done. I distinctly remember Hansbrough being projected in the late lottery after his freshman year.

With a couple of exceptions those are the guys I was talking about when I said Roy got some top players who needed to develop. They were NBA-bound, but not NBA-ready yet, and knew it. They chose to develop under Roy instead of being fast-tracked - don't let the door hit ya style - by Cal or K.

It's a legit question to ask, though, whether we could come up with enough NIL to sign even half of those guys today.

But it's about making millions to those that reap the benefits and it has been for quite a long while. If the cash is flowing in from the product the bottom line is what matters to the buisness. Chips are nice, don't get it twisted though, it's been a billion dollar industry, and that bottom line rules for them.

Business for unc? Them, unc? Those that reap the benefits? Unc? I think it can be all of those if that’s who you meant, and still incorporate some tip for tap. Maybe I just misunderstood

Andy Luedecke and My Perfect Franchise have sponsored THI for the last few years. I can't personally say enough about the success Andy has with his business and helping people find what is in their wheelhouse, even if they don't initially know it.

Reaching out to him to learn more about a possible side venture, or maybe if you're thinking about making a major change in your life and taking control of your career, it's worth it to at least give him a call and see where things go. As John Belushi said in Animal House, "It dont cost nothin'" and could be a seminal moment in your professional life.

Consultation is FREE, and that cannot be understated. You never know, maybe you will find your perfect franchise.

I also ENCOURAGE you to watch the video below to get a better idea of what Andy is all about. I did the interview, and I speak fully for what Andy and MPF do.

Find Your Perfect Franchise at MyPerfectFranchise.Net. Contact Andy Luedecke anytime at aluedecke@myperfectfranchise.net or (404) 973-9901.

The Carolina Way has not one thing to do with big time talent! This shows you have absolutely no understanding of what the Family really means! The Carolina Way deals with a way of carrying oneself and treating others. It is an ethos requiring one to be the best one can be as a person! The great news is when you focus on being the best person you can be, this includes things like work ethic, team first, caring for team mates; putting the name on the front before the name on the back, coachability, character, grit, etc and these things often translate to success on AND off the court!
Secondly, "Greater than the sum of its parts" also means one can't simply play video game logic and say put these great talents on the floor and voila wins come! Sometimes peeps have to sublimate their games. Sometimes they have to play positions that might not be optimal; sometimes they have to do the dirty work and allow others to shine; sometimes I have to be a pass first PG not the scoring phenom I was in HS. We have to stop with the shallow perusal of peeps' statements and actually think about the substance!
Thirdly, trying to put together a team full of 5*s is certainly looking for Flash! And I never said anything about fielding a team full of 3*s. Yeah our successful teams had talent BUT they also had glue guys/vets that participated and provided that edge in practice or stepped up when needed!
UNC builds teams with intent; puke throws talent together and hopes for the best!

I think that is a naive take. Huge talent has been a foundation. The way they have treated it is admirable, I love it, but without the talent it is not the same. UNC came to prominence under McGuire and the NYC pipeline, which was not slightly hidden that you are playing for "Uncle Frank" after the backroom conversation. We have had rosters of 5 stars when they were not free to leave. We chose more than recruited. The Carolina Way was how they were treated, but it started with the elite talent.

The dook 2015 squad led by Okafor, Jones, Winslow...

But many other teams have made the Final Four with multiple one-and-done players. And still more, including UNC in 2005 and 2017, had one-and-done players contribute to championships.

I think what UNC has been doing, filling the roster with both highly ranked 5 stars and lesser ranked 4 stars, has been the best recipe for success. The big problem is for the past 18 months we've been missing on the highly ranked recruits that have anchored all our great teams.

Yep, after I posted I looked it up and saw Tyus Jones was MOP in 2015.
That only gives 3 in 25 years that have been led by OAD players.

For sure, some champions have had contributions from OAD players including UNC in 2005 (Williams) and 2017 (Bradley) but not leading contributions, and certainly not enough to warrant a $4m price tag.... at least in my opinion.

If AJ Dybansta is paid $4m and leads whichever team he joins to a championship, then I'd say that's a sound investment.... if he goes to BYU and they win a conference championship, well, does it pay off? And what if their results are not even a conference championship?

Hell, I would hate to have been the booster who contributed to the under-the-table payment for Ben Simmons at LSU.... that was a terrible investment! And what about the Memphis booster who funded James Wiseman's all-too-brief college career? Anthony Edwards won a whole bunch of accolades for Georgia but barely moved the needle for them in his one year and left no legacy of excellence since.

Personally, I want Hubert to bring in players who'll benefit the UNC program the most and that probably means being willing to pay more for experienced talent from the portal than unproven talent.
