I'm expecting to hear on these guys fairly soon. Hopefully hearing that one of them is coming on board. Not that I wouldn't take more than one, but let's not get too greedy.

Still time for a poll.

Nova’s GM Position

Apparently, Villanova has created a new position: General Manager of Men’s and Women’s Basketball. This is a very intriguing move that alleviates pressure off the coaching staff in putting together NIL deals and allows them to focus more on current roster turnover.

Be interesting to see who else jumps on board amongst the Power 5 and New Bloods.

Cadeau Questions

When do we expect to hear from him on reclassifying?

Is there any reason to think he's waiting to see what players Hubert will find for him in the portal or among decommits before he reclassifies?

That could get tricky if there are any portal players who are waiting to see who our PG will be.

Does his decision to reclassify have anything to do with Jackson's decision?

Is there any risk of repeating the GG saga - where we finally decide to get a PG from the portal, and then Cadeau reclassifies and ends up somewhere else?

Everybody seems to think Cadeau will be coming this season. But what's the plan if he decides not to reclassify? Do we go with RJ? Do we go after a PG in the portal? Something else?

what's going on with Honeycutt?

Been to a lot of games this season and I have never seen a guy slump like this. Hell, on Saturday he had 2 straight called strikeouts where he didn't take the bat off of his shoulders for the entire AB.

This team has not real shot of going anywhere if 7 can't get this figured out. My fear is that Forbes and staff have so over-coached him that he has too much going through his head before he even steps in the box.

Charlotte vs. UNC

BY UNC ATHLETIC COMMUNICATIONS

CHAPEL HILL, N.C. – The Diamond Heels continue their nine-game homestand Tuesday night at Boshamer Stadium against in-state foe Charlotte beginning at 6 p.m.

North Carolina, ranked in the top 20 in each of this week's major polls, owns a 24-12 overall record, including an 18-8 record at home. Charlotte is 19-15 overall and 7-6 on the road.

The Tar Heels defeated the 49ers 16-3 in Charlotte earlier this season. UNC racked up 17 hits, including three home runs and seven doubles. Tomas Frick and Colby Wilkerson each collected three hits, and Vance Honeycutt drove in five, knocking in four with a second inning grand slam.

Frick leads the ACC with a career-high 17 doubles and is third in RBIs with a team-best 41. Honeycutt has drawn more walks (39) than any other player in the league, and his 16 stolen bases are second-most behind Clemson's Cam Cannarella with 17.

North Carolina is 2-2 on its current homestand, defeating Queens a week ago and then walking off Miami in game two of its three-game ACC Coastal Division series Saturday. Charlotte enters the game on a five-game winning streak following its three-game sweep of Rice over the weekend.

The 49ers are led by sophomore Cam Fisher, who ranks fourth nationally with 17 home runs. He ranks seventh among all NCAA Division I players with a .856 slugging percentage. He also leads the team in batting average (.381) and RBIs (40).
