This is what happens when you call a shitty coaching every night at midnight and ask him how you can get better.
The answer is find a better coach to help you.

Losing Drake would for sure hurt but Drake is NBA or back to UNC. Hubert may well be looking at Drake as a 2, that may be the position the NBA feed back is telling him he projects best. Notice, outside of McNeeley we have not really gone hard for another 2 guard.
The disrespect to RJ Davis by UNC fans is absolutely ridiculous. Probably the worst look you can give while also in the same breath complaining people are leaving and not staying at UNC. Dude stayed and gave every year eligible to us and played way better than expected and was our best player almost every year. We rose and fell with RJs play. Which is a testament to that others weren't doing enough to offset his days he wasn't on.
Ironically, sitting Cadeau and starting Ian Jackson at the 2 was our best option we had once we knew Cadeau was done and checked out in January. We should have gave his minutes to Ian and maybe then Ian would have stayed. Without RJ playing however, we would have lost a lot more and not even been on the bubble.
Doesn't matter though. RJ should be celebrated as an all time great UNC player. The disrespect our fanbase has had for him for almost 3 seasons straight now is pretty ridiculous.

it used to be a bad look to have 5* players transferring… now it seems normal.
I still think it’s a bad look which reflects directly on Hubert.

Remember the Andy Griffith episode where someone in the church choir was off key. Barney then embarks to sing with each member to identify the culprit. I think we are getting there.....
Oh, OK, threw me because we were talking about a guard and Catchings not being a guard I was confused. Yeah, I really want us to lock Catchings in.
To me job 1 for next season is to do a much better job of fitting players to their proper positions, we were at best a bubble team because we force fitted guys away from their natural positions rather than have them play a position on the floor that allowed their natural talents to flourish, to often our guys were having to play to the weakest part of their game.
I love guys that can play different positions at a high level because defensively it looks like Hubert is sold on a LOT of switching, like he prefers to switch all 5 positions. A guy like Catchings can give you quality minutes at the 3 or the 4, so as a 3 and gets switched to a 4 then he is still fine, Wilson is a 4/3 and both 6'9", nice compliments. JPowell is a really solid 3 & D guy, Drake can literally play the 2-4, Seth 1-3, Veesaar 4/5. See the versatility to switch defensively. If in addition to Catchings we can add a big bodied 5 we could have a care taker PG and still be fine, give us Lee or NIgel Pack and we may be a final 4 team (even with Hubert).
Sorry Dave, sometimes I forget people are not involved in the conversation in my head. I thought of catchings after I read your take on moving Drake to the two. That would obviously free up the three where catchings could play and be interchangeable with Wilson.
About the only thing that could keep him here is he's related to Hubert.
One thing I noticed watching him was he seemed to be outta control a lot but then again so did RJ 🤷
My favorite love to hate episode is when Aunt Bea hints about and thinks shes getting a bed jacket, gets a set of preserve jars instead and totally makes a scene.
I guess thats like us knowing we deserve a certain calibre of coach and once reality sets in, we realize what we've got and we all throw a fit.
Hubert is a set of preserve jars.
No inside info just a gut feeling but I will be shocked if Wilson ever makes it to campus. It’s par for the course.
You could make an argument that both Cadeau and Jackson were grossly misused.
Square peg in round hole for this staff…

he won't be getting big time minutes under Pitino if he doesn't improve his defense drastically
Not meant in any way as anything against RJ, but you are not wrong.
Hell, I would take you back to the Memphis exhibition and the positive chemistry up there vs how it looked as soon as he came back.
Losing EC now IJ? Wow, it's really a bad look for this coaching staff. Is it because of a lack in player development or progress, pt concerns and or belief that the coaching staff is inept? EC basically called it out...Ian Jackson Entering Transfer Portal
