I had to take my wife to ER last night, and...

Absolutely pathetic job by the staff, and especially the people running UNC's NIL. We need a starting PF and especially a starting C. Most of the top options didn't even visit us. The one guy that did visit chose Alabama (who also took a Tar Heel legacy recruit a year ago.)

We have all this backcourt talent led by RJ Davis, and our entire front court is made up of bench players who are going to get destroyed by most of the ACC.

Dressed in an off-white suit with a Carolina...

I suspect most of us expect this to be the starting lineup, at least early on

Caleb Love
Kerwin Walton
Leaky Black
Brady Manek
Armando Bacot

Some have said they'd rather not have Leaky start. I'm not in that group, but I'm open to different lineups. So my question is, what lineup(s) might be better?

After a good summer some of the relationships might change. If both Caleb and RJ improve a good bit and are working together pretty well, I could see Caleb shifting to SG (on the theory that RJ is too short for SG, and that Caleb could focus more on his shot selection). So how does that ripple through the staring lineup? Do you sit Kerwin - our only reliable outside shooter last season? I don't think so. But what are the alternatives?

RJ
Caleb
Kerwin
Brady
Armando

And then there's this possibility

Caleb
Kerwin
Justin McKoy
Brady
Armando

What other starting lineups do you think might work? And which of them appeal to you most?

I'm sure some of you are old enough to remember when ACC basketball seniors would do a barnstorming tour of NC high schools after the season ended? I think it happened more than one year, but I went and saw them in 1981. Only UNC, Duke, NCSU, UVA, and Clemson were represented, so they included some Davidson players to fill out the squads.

Here were the teams:

Gold: Al Wood, Mike Pepper, Pete Budko, Eric Kenney, Craig Watts, Todd Haynes (Dav,) and John Gerdy (Dav)

Blue: Jeff Lamp, Lee Raker, Terry Gates, Marc Iavaroni, Gene Banks, Kenny Dennard, Frank Johnson, Will Singleton, Chuck Dahms, and Larry Nance.

Afterwards they hung around to sign autographs. All the kids were mobbing anyone who just looked like a player. I think I got Al Wood's brother's autograph. LOL.

My program says the coaches were Gene Banks and "Bones" McKinney. I guess Banks was a player/coach and McKinney coached against his former team, though I think he actually graduated from UNC--or at least he played there one year.

I've been watching a lot of documentaries on Netflix lately, widely ranging from the story of Compaq, to the development of toys like He-Man.

Well, I kept scrolling through other suggested documentaries and came upon Wild Wild Country, the story of Bagwanshreerajneesh. Anyone north of 40 years old might remember hearing of him in the early 1980s but as I was about 12 or 13 when he first made local news, the name was about all I remembered and some sort of "cult." I decided to watch it (a six part series) and was drawn in. Most of the footage is old so don't expect a lot of HD video, but even though it was done on what looked to be a low budget, it was compelling. They leave it to the viewer to decide who the "villains" are and most of the major players are interviewed throughout the series, telling how they saw things back then and you can see their perspectives (well some of them) shift as the story advances in time.

I hesitate recommending TV shows because everyone has different tastes but if you remember the Bagwan but never knew the entire story, it's worth checking out. Even if you don't know the story, it's pretty good.

Anyone else find anything that isn't on the "front page" of Netflix or Amazon Prime?

Here are the remaining guys in the top 25 of at least 1 of 3 services. Are these services any good? Can you suggest better ones that aren't behind paywalls?

Which of these guys, if any, are we going after? [I added Lubin at the end.]

ESPN has a very informative article that's only a couple of days old.

This excerpt from the Louisville overview is an eye-opener


Ouch!
