Seth Trimble

I like Seth Trimble...always have since I saw his HS highlights. I always thought that his game was better than his brothers at the same stage.

But...let's pull back on the hype for this kid. If he shoots 35% from 3 on higher volume, I would be ecstatic. If he averages 10 pts and stuffs the stat sheet...EXTREMELY EXCITED! He might start..he might not but he will always finish close games IMO.

He will not be our #2 option though... not this year. And I think that will be healthy for the team.

He and Cadeau shooting 35% or higher from 3 make this team especially dangerous IMO!

Any Collagen Takers Here?

You might want to reconsider.

I've seen some YouTube influencers that I respect touting the benefits of collagen but I've never seen the appeal. It's protein, so why not just eat good "regular" protein, was my view.

I mean it all gets broken down into amino acids, so steak, salmon or even plant protein should be at least as good or better, right?

Well, apparently there's some reason to think that collagen may not be entirely broken down and some may get into the blood stream, where, in theory, it could be picked up for direct use in ligaments, skin and whatnot.

So should you take collagen?

Probably not.

JJ Jones & Kaimon Rucker - ACC Players of the Week

Week 9 Football Players of the Week​



CHARLOTTE, N.C. (theACC.com) – The Atlantic Coast Conference Football Players of the Week have been recognized following their standout performances in Week 9 of the 2024 college football season. The selections are determined by a vote of a select media panel. The following are this week’s honorees.

RECEIVER – J.J. Jones, North Carolina, WR, Myrtle Beach, South Carolina

Jones continues to improve midway through the 2024 season, hauling in five catches for a career-high 129 yards to record the first multi-score game of his career in North Carolina's 41-14 road win over Virginia. He gave the Tar Heels their first lead of the game on a 37-yard touchdown pass from Jacolby Criswell. Later in the contest, Jones tacked on a 31-yard catch and score from Criswell late in the second quarter to make it 24-6 at the halftime break.



DEFENSIVE LINEMAN – Kaimon Rucker, North Carolina, Rush, Hartwell, Georgia

After being named a semifinalist for the Jason Witten Man of the Year Award, Rucker was a key factor in North Carolina's 41-14 road win at Virginia. The graduate student finished the day with eight tackles, matching his career high, 3.5 tackles-for-loss, a career-best three sacks and the first interception of his career. His three sacks are tied for the third-most in a game by a Tar Heel player and he now has 20 career sacks, which is tied for seventh in program history. His interception was the first by a North Carolina defensive lineman since 2015. He now ranks eighth all-time at North Carolina with 36 career tackles-for-loss.
