Former UNC coach Roy Williams was asked about leaving college basketball, the increasing demands posed by the transfer portal, and the allure of name, image, and likeness (NIL) packages for athletes. He said he did not retire in 2021 because of those changes, but agreed the landscape of the sport has been irretrievably altered because of them. (AOL.com)

Very nice reference guide that list NIL Collectives for all schools.

List includes all major conferences.

Seriously, though, I'm betting there are a lot of wealthy Harvard alumni who could really help out Tommy Amaker . . . if they wanted to.

The point isn't about Harvard, but the chance that a few alumni with deep pockets might vault minor schools into the NCAA tournament.

While that might be fun to watch, would that be a good thing?

I didn’t see anywhere discussing this so I started a thread.

Our NIL really sucks. But it was good in previous years. What has changed?

as it currently stands. North Carolina is talented and deep on the perimeter. Elliot Cadeau. R.J. Davis, Seth Trimble, Cade Tyson, Ian Jackson, and Drake Powell may combine to feature one of the very best perimeter games in the country. It could be the perfect time to play a more modern NBA type of offensive system with an open post. Play Jalen Washington either in the dunker spot, and/or use him as a ball-screener to lift the defense. Nobody in the NBA posts up on the ball side any longer. It clogs up driving lanes.

I watched Kentucky have a problem with Oscar Tshiebwe because he was a back to the bucket big. They didn't have any of those type of frontcourt players last year, and averaged 90 points per game. Nate Oats has never had a post up big. The prerequisite for the center is to rim protect, rebound, rim run, and ball-screen. I know that dominant big man has been a staple in the Carolina offensive attack, but it's not the end of the world if that is no longer the case. In fact, it might be the perfect time to transition.

Just a thought but I know I would be really interested if THI started breaking down some of the X’s and O’s from the previous season/during the season next year.

Would anyone else be interested in that or is there someone already filling that void? If so, please point me in that direction.

This month’s concept is disrupting the $94 billion dollar fitness industry with their revolutionary work out.

• Training that is easy on the joints (which means it is for EVERY BODY of every age!)
• 20 minutes a week….. it doesn’t get much better than that!
• 1 on 1 training that is customized to help each member reach their personal goals
• Monthly recurring subscription revenue
• Small space required
• Few employees needed
• Brick and Mortar business
• Owner-Operator or Executive Ownership

What concept do you think it is? Thanks for playing!

The challenge is to build your best team from our last 10 years of teams, starting with 2015.

During that time, we had 1 Championship and 2 Runner-up teams. So the problem isn't how you come up with enough players, but who you leave off.

Here's the list I started with, dated by when they first appeared in Carolina blue (or 2015 if they were already on the team then).

I came up with 21 guys, so I need to lose 8 of them to get down to a 13-man roster. Getting down to 16 isn't too hard. A couple on my list were already "honorable mentions" in my mind when I added them. But ditching the last 3 is going to be hard.

Needless to say, other folks may have somewhat different starting lists.

Told the visit went well, but nobody including the coaching staff knows what he will decide.
