No problem of what you are saying. And on the scope of NCAA basketball. We are still elite. But we haven't really haven't been playing at that Elite level the last few years. And that's why I said get back to our Elite status.
I get your point my friend. But this team has been preseason ranked in the Top 10 almost every year the last few years.Only to not live up to the hype. Not saying it can't happen this year. As far as a Natty. But I'm the old believer this is basically the same team as last year and the year before. Now if we can find more outside shooting this year to help the inside guys. Then the sky's the limit. Need better balance between inside outside. We depend on MP why to much for the outside shooting. Hopefully with Williams coming in he is ready to light it up from the outside. And hopefully other players we have already here get better to as far as shooting. We have plenty of bigs. But can't get any space when everyone packs inside except who ever is covering MP. But we are taking this thread away from its original point.
I'm not going to get in a pissing contest with y'all. You all make great points. And Roy has done a good job with what has been dealt to him. But every year just like in football everyone hypes up the season like this is the one. We do have the talent to get there. But injuries are part of the game. And I have heard the same chatter from y'all and the media the last two years. But things happen. If it's chemistry,injuries, or to me that has been our biggest problem is outside shooting. I know also players get better every year. And hope that's the case. But I'm not going to beat my chest and say we are the best until I see how this team has gotten better. And if you don't understand that than I'm sorry. I don't go by preseason polls either. We were ranked in the Top 10 the last two years because we have coming back. As far as someone talking about the year of Kendall Marshall. I'm not talking from that far back. And those who on here know me I comment on what I see on the field or on the court. Sometimes you will agree sometime you won't. We haven't even started practice yet. Unless they started today or the last few days. So I haven't seen this years team play together yet. So if you can't except that I'm sorry. And last years Sweet 16 doesn't mean anything to me. Having a good year is one thing. But having a GREAT YEAR and winning the whole thing is all I want. I'm sure the coaches and kids aren't happy with getting to the Sweet 16. Well I hope that's not there goal. And. You the person I quoted. I'm not a football only guy. I just don't follow all the recruits and who's good and who's not during the offseason.That's what these coaches and scouts jobs. The only reason I don't post on here right now as much is it not Basketball Seaon now. GO HEELS!!!!!!
It true. I do get baited in. But you know me and understand. But it just seemed he was acting like I'm a football homer and don't know anything about basketball. I'm sorry if I don't think we have been playing to Elite status as of late. And that I mean the last two years. I know there is many reasons. The cloud. Making it hard to get the true Elite players to come here from HS. And as far as on the court. I just still think we have just missed having outside shooting besides MP. Not saying the others haven't gotten better during the off season. But I haven't seen it yet. I think we have enough talent inside. But with no outside shooting or should I say lack of consistent outside shooting. It just makes it crowed inside for the bigs to operate.So until they get on the court and show what they can actually do. How do you really know.And yet you always do.
It is RARE to get to win it all, great as Dean was he only did it twice. Yes, we always expect to get there, we are Carolina! But it is rare air.
See I like that. Everything you said is true. But all I'm trying to really say is our outside shooting is the most important thing this year. And they have to do it during a game. Even Roy said it last year. And I can't remember who he was talking about. But he said he doesn't miss them in practice. Now I also can't remember if that was FTs or 3s. But again with a more consistent outside game is the key. We have the horses down low. Just need a little more room to operate. GO HEELS!!!!!!,
Ok I probally need to then. But then again we made nice runs in both tourneys. Probally because we shot better from the outside.
