Hubert says changes to coaching staff coming

Would be a tremendous hire if it works out. He certainly knows how to negotiate mega million dollar deals with players.

He would be a solid choice.
Disagree. We need a talent evaluator. He has never built a team or thought about how players will together. Hubert had 5mm and was stubborn and passed over multiple people including Wolf waiting for the wrong guys.
Hubert did not have 5 million. The football team only had 4 mill, and basketball had significantly less. Hubert did not "pass over multiple people." Hubert identified numerous talented fits including Maxime Raynaud, Adou Thiero, and Clifford Omoruyi.
Nobody was complaining about talent evaluation last year when we were winning the ACC and getting a 1 seed. But this season, which was wrecked by a lack of NIL funds, has suddenly turned into a referendum on talent evaluation. If we had the NIL money to win over Theiro and Omoruyi, would you still be complaining about talent evaluation?
We need a GM to oversee and prevent our NIL from ever becoming the dumpster fire it was last offseason. We need him to deliver the players our staff wants, and keep us from ever again having to settle for guys like Lubin and Claude.
I highly doubt Rachel Baker is doing any in depth talent evaluation at Dook. I think the basketball side of things can be handled by the staff, or a staff.
Taking care of NIL, sponsors, donors and having a working understanding and relationship with professional basketball is the key.
Jim Tanner has an impressive resume if this is indeed the guy.
And Hubert got cocky and put all his eggs in Raynaud basket- when he could have had Wolf or others. And Omoruyi had a terrible visit. We can agree to disagree about the money.
Well that's completely untrue. He certainly didn't put all his eggs in the basket of a guy who never even entered the portal.
Now go ahead and list all the UNC level bigs we could have gotten besides Wolf. Let's specifically hear these "others" that our broke NIL could have landed.
Maxime Raynaud, a 7'1" forward for the Stanford men's basketball team, entered the NCAA transfer portal in March 2024. He later withdrew from the portal in April 2024.
why you always lying….
There’s no point in arguing on a message board. I don’t pretend to know more than I do, but when I hear things directly from someone working with the basketball program and I know enough about what was happening with the SBC - you can draw whatever conclusion you want from there - I trust my info more than I trust yours. We can agree to disagree.
Furthermore, there isn’t the delta that’s being reported regarding UNC vs Duke’s war chest. Duke has an arrangement with CAA and that’s how their basketball players are getting the majority of their money. As well, a lot of this is speculation. I’m not in Hubert’s head so I don’t know what he was or wasn’t thing. People inside the program have told me everything I’m sharing. I do know the person calling the shots is Lee Roberts not Bubba. Bubba is charmin.
Looking back, the BIG score would have been making BOTH Wolf and Goldin their top priorities, we had contact with both but they were treated like back up plans, they felt that, they dismissed us with out a visit. I highly suspect that Hubert did his research and landed on his top 3 targets Aidoo, Raymound, and Kalkbrenner. By the time those guys were sorted out to other programs our back up guys went elsewhere.
I question how much home work Hubert was able to do, bet ya Hubert watched every game his 3 priority guys played but I question how much home work he put in on Wolf or Goldin?
Roberts has no business being our Chancellor. He was completely unqualified for the job and is nothing more than a political appointment made specifically to hurt the University. The day we are able to remove that **** stain from Chapel Hill will be a day all Tar Heels can celebrate.
