Carolina vs Florida gam thread in Charlotte—Tuesday 17 Dec 2024

Can’t rebound can’t hit free throws can’t hit threes. Blame it on the NIL, blame it on Hubert, blame it on the players it don’t matter. Other then the fact this product fu**ing sucks!!
 
I'm starting a NIL fund. It's called surely we can do better than Washington, Withers, Lubin, and Claude. It's entirely dedicated to getting a Carolina level center.
 
On selection Sunday, nobody gives a crap about the score. It’s another Quad 1 loss that Carolina needed to win.

Coaching staff cannot figure out how to coach this team and get them ready at tipoff.
I said in the office season we would be a bubble team come early March, now I'm thinking we will be lucky to even be on the bubble in early March.
 
In a game defined by toughness, I'm not sure why Washington played over Claude. Every time a rebound went up, Washington was being shoved in the back or side, and Florida would get the rebound. Claude isn't so easily moved and we desperately needed some rebounds. They missed 2 free throws in a row, and what should have been an easy UNC board ended up in Florida's hands and a few seconds later they got an and-one.

I thought we hit on something against LaSalle. Start Lubin, back him up with Claude, Brown, and then Washington as 4th string.
 
RJ is almost back. The only guy in double figures in the first half, and 1 of just 2 (along with Jackson) in the 2nd. But faltered at the end.

I like our chances against UCLA if he keeps inching back.

It would be nice to be competitive against good foes in the first half, though.
 
6-5. Very possibly looking at 6-6 with another ranked team on Saturday.

3rd time in 4 years we’ll spend at least a month unranked (we began season ranked in all 3).

Likely looking at another roster overhaul after this year.

The program is in much worse shape than some on here care to admit.
Seems like the Heels have started out being ranked early on only to wet the bed lately this is becoming very frustrating

That's a given. RJ, Withers, and Claude are out of eligibility. Jackson and Powell will turn pro. Trimble will at least test the waters (his brother left after 3 years with low draft stock.) Washington and Tyson are both heading for the portal (both seem better suited for a midmajor conference.) That's most of the scholarship players right there.

I think Powell is back
 
Ian and RJ are the only ones that demand attention. The rest are role players. They are the same position. You need that DAWG that demands two on dee. Those are your two.
I agree, and both must be on the court to close out games. Cadeau, I probably still start him, but he and R.J can't both be on the floor down the stretch.
Davis, Trimble, Jackson, Lubin and then either Powell,/ Tyson. Probably offense for defense.
 
He’s a top 15 pick in nearly every mock draft I’ve seen. It wouldn’t make much sense to come back.
He is from a Carolina family.
I don't think he wants his legacy to be 6 months and 5ppg in his Carolina career.
He will be a lottery pick with another year as a " Dude"
 
Let's be real, ain't nobody turning down a lottery pick to comeback to Carolina's weak a** NIL. Belichick's NIL could afford to pay Powell enough to come back. But that $20 mill is for football.

It’s more than $20m …and the b-ball program is going to see an increase in NIL too, but that increase may be largely contingent on a new HC.

If you're right, next year's roster looks like

Cadeau
Seth (maybe)
Dixon
Denis
Lubin
Brown

I have my doubts that Cadeau returns, but if he does, we have a solid back court with promising backups at both slots.

We're going to need some starter-quality players from the portal. At least 5. Most (all?) SF and bigger.

I have never felt like boosters or who ever the NIL money comes from just refused to spend money.

Are you implying that they didn't like the hire from the start and won't release money or that they have grown tired of this experience and are holding on to their money now?

Just like Mack, Hubert is / was never going to get the full boat.

Who's in the running?
I’m not sure those conversations have started yet, but I do know one strong opinion that exists with a few folks at the top: if UNC and a big NIL commitment can get Belichick out of retirement, Jay Wright is certainly within the realm of possibility.

Had we have made the right hire we would have kept rolling and wpuld not have been in this down turn.
