DSouthr, are you considering injuries? That's one of the reasons I would like Roy to bring on another big for next season, preferably a 5th year senior. Knowing our history with injuries, one more big would be some nice insurance. A kid that could give us something similar to what Knox gave us a few years ago.

Steat, yeah man, I get ya on the injury question and as I have said, I would love for us to get a quality big man in addition to Tony. But I don't think we need just another warm body that just happens to stand over 6'8". No offense to Knox, he did what he could but I would be just as happy with Luke IMO as I would with another version of Knox. If we bring in a gradutate sr I would want it to be a kid that can produce solid day 1, like a Robert carter, like Uchafor for Villinova who we wanted really bad last year about this time.

In the spring there are always 5th year guys that pop up and decomits due to coaching changes, pretty much how we got kenny Williams isn't it. lets see what comes around but my point is even if we don't and hopefully injury does not strike, we can still be VERY effective with our version of small ball with 2 wings on the floor together.

And again I point out, we have played the vast majority of this season with 3 bigs and Joel James getting nothing but token minutes. With Meeks, Hicks, and Tony we will have 3 next season and Luke will get more than token minutes.
 
Not being passive aggressive to you, Gary.

Straight up. If you hear something, say it or don't. Don't try to allude to it and not come out with it. It makes you come iff as seeking attention or self-importance.

And, if you have something you wish to say, don't overhype it.

Like say, it might be nothing but Boo Williams seems to think Dennis Smith is a Roy Williams guy.

Not state it as you expect Dennis Smith to sign with UNC because some dude who may or may not be in the loop with the kid made a comment on what he thinks.

You at times are as sensational as the N&O is on this investigation.

And, as far as underclassmen go. Expect a good bit of them to declare and test the waters. They have not much reason not to unless they are deadset to return.
 
Kennedy Meeks returning was not like new knowledge. Reporters have reported he is expected to return consistently since December
Seriously? Reporters were just assuming not knowing of his intent to leave in the first place. I can 100% assure you that as of late February his intent was still to leave. SMDH.

If you have an issue with his info, ignore it. He did say take it for what it's worth in regards to Dennis Smith and Boo Williams, and that it doesn't mean Dennis Smith will be a heel. guess you missed that part? You seem to have some weird issue with Gary's posts, shouldn't read them if you do. I haven't seen reports since December 1st stating Meeks is coming back. Can you please provide one?

He said repeatedly Dennis Smith was going to be a heel.

Didn't overhype a damned thing... just made a comment about some pending good news. Got the info confirmed then put it on the board. Nor BTW did I overhype the Boo Williams thing --- just reported what was said with full disclaimers built in. And yet' just as I predicted at the time someone was sure to throw it at me if DSJr didn't end up here.

Of course when I did post this latest info then you act like it's not news, even though the facts are quite the opposite. So since apparently none of my intel is gonna mean anything to ya anyway, I would just follow Mike's advice and ignore it.
 
FWIW Gary, please keep up the info and weather the 'feedback' 'cause there are plenty of us on here who don't have any access to any intel and we appreciate whatever news we can get..... taking it all with a fair pinch of salt since nothing is ever guaranteed.

Cuz most posters who act like they have inside knowledge don't and just want the attention of saying they do from what they heard in a passing rumor or third hand etc.





When I saw who liked this post it certainly did not surprise me... Gary is an insider for the both of you to note! Also, I feel certain whatever he now knows is confidential to UNC Basketball only. Time will give us all the answers. Thanks again Gary...
 
Easy way to hammer this out is to have people go on the record. If you're not willing to go on the record on predictions or "inside info" (which I'm certainly not, considering I don't have one iota of inside information) then your predictions or "inside info" are worth nothing. If you're willing to go on the record, we can measure how often your predictions and/or sources are correct. Simple as that.

Not an insider in the normal sense... just have been fortunate enough over the past 4 years or so to be privy to some inside info from a source who is close to some of the players --- normally all I would get would come indirectly from coaching circles and/or AAU scuttlebutt, so it's been pretty cool to have that more direct connection --- happy to share the stuff (fit to tell) with fellow Heels fans here.

We appreciate what you hear from the AAu circuits. You obviously do know people in them.

But, at the end of the day it is just what a person on the AAU circuit said. It doesn't mean a ton.

For example, I called Wiggins to UNC based on what I heard from people in WV when his recruitment was ongoing. I was wrong. And, I quickly realized to not stake much faith in stuff beyond people who would actually know.

I love to hear what you hear, but I do not take much stock in it unless it has a viable angle to be factual.

It is what it is.
 
100% a liem. I think his statements are actually on Dooks forums and they laughed at him about it. Go find em.
Are you f***ing serious? My statements were posted here... whatever they made up is on them. I've never dirtied myself by even visiting their boards, much less post there. I don't know what your problem is but you really need to think before you post this garbage.

I say it when I post it that the AAU scuttlebutt is what it is --- scuttlebutt.

However, what I've posted about the team is no such thing --- it is coming from the players. Not sure why you have such an issue with that.
 
I don't. I agreed with you actually. I just said it has been reported that way for awhile. I even posted in prior threads when you said Meeks was going pro how reporters are stating in write ups he is expected back. And it is beyond common sense at this point.

But, why did you state it as an allusion instead of just saying what you thought was news?

No one here thinks Meeks is going pro.

I appreciate insight. I just wish you would be more upfront with it instead of building it up by doing the wanna tell you but am not going to stuff.

That said... let's all not bicker with the final four upcoming.


And back to somewhat topic....

How loaded was the damn Paul Lebron Villanueva Mckee dees team? Lol.

No thanks, I know what he posted & what I read, you go find 'em, you're the one convinced he said Smith to UNC.

Dude, you make claims with no facts and now your telling someone else to find them?
"Reports since December that Meeks is staying" - Provide 1 report of him staying
Accusing Gary of saying DSJR will be a heel on a Duke board, but you want someone else to find it? You made the claim, you go find it and provide the evidence.
 
I don't. I agreed with you actually. I just said it has been reported that way for awhile. I even posted in prior threads when you said Meeks was going pro how reporters are stating in write ups he is expected back. And it is beyond common sense at this point.

.
Because it is news. None of what anybody thinks (including reporters) is common sense matters. What matters is a player's intent. His intent until very recently has been to leave. That is a fact, not opinion.
 
Time for the walls to come tumbling down. The only way I can continue to read the great tidbits, rumors, potential inside info, and great finds is to put certain peeps on ignore. I try to limit it to pukies, but some so-called Tar Heel fans should really try decaf! IGNORE those you can't stand, read those you can, stop stalking other posters, and leave the middle school bickering where it belongs!

G-7 gives very good tidbits and, frankly I don't give a dadgum if they pan out or not. NOBODY can predict the mind of a child, including themselves. Keep fighting to give us these glimpses and we will continue to devour them like an Angus Barn T-bone!
