Any word on how it's going for our new guys on campus? Rush, brob, seventh, or tony? Pickup games? Scrimmages? Just excited to know something. Thanks
New guys??

I've heard rumblings on Twitter of Seventh already being a force in their pick up games. Take that for what it's worth.
Bradley is obviously going to be a huge key for us this season. If he develops into a star then we're a final four caliber team. If he doesn't, we're going to get exposed up front.

Just read from goheels.
Rising junior Theo Pinson has seen the benefits of Bradley's work in pickup games since the freshman arrived on campus last month, adding that Bradley was unafraid to call for the ball inside.
"I think it's very important that he gets confidence early," Pinson said. "I think the college game is more about confidence than a lot of stuff. If he feels like he can fit in and play at this level, he'll be fine.
"He has such a willingness to learn and try to get better, so I don't see a problem with that at all. He came in, he's asking questions. He's taking all that in and doing a good job."

And that type attitude is what separates the OAD's from the traditional UNC type players. Good stuff.
TB is in the perfect position for both himself and the team. He could start in most programs, but it is better all around for him to learn and come along at his pace behind the experienced players that we are fortunate enough to have. There will be less pressure on him and he'll have some great teachers. Thus, he'll have the perfect combination of that with getting some really important minutes on a really good team.
In a lot of ways his skills (modeling himself after Tim Duncan was a good choice) are ahead of his physical maturity, and as he adds strength and explosion I believe he will help us this season, and develop into a premier college Big in the long run.
