I think Nas could also force the issue as well. If he's outplaying guys, which I expect he will, Roy won't continue to bring him off the bench.

End of the year, I'd bet our best lineup is Coby, Kenny, Cam, Nas, Luke.

I think I agree with that. Defensively, it might be a little weak. That’s why Seventh is going to play.
 
I think it's a good thing that Roy hasn't named a starter at PG yet. If White didn't look good, he would have already named 7th the starter. Even if White looked miles ahead of 7th, I would imagine we'd get an answer like this, giving 7th up until the first game (and hell, probably the start of ACC play) to win the job.

I'm more nervous about the big-man comment. I was expecting Manley to hop in the driver's seat for that spot, and with 3 sophomores it doesn't feed into Roy's MO of catering to an upperclassman vs. a better underclassman. So I'd tend to believe him on that one that none of the 3 has really cemented himself yet.
It could be that Garrison is playing well and pushing Sterling.

Roy never really sounds thrilled about players though. The only players I can think of off the top of my head that he sound thrilled about are Marcus, Tyler and JB.
Roy often uses talk like this as a motivational device. Both Garrison and Sterling look considerably stronger than they were last year. That alone should make them better. I think Roy is a master of "coach speak".

As a coach, you never, ever over promise. It will bite you if you do.

Amen. Enjoy the ride, gentlemen, because there are -0- guarantees that UNC will remain a blue blood once Roy finally retires.

Guilty verdict is probably good for the schools.

It also looks like it may be Cole Anthony or bust for recruiting next year.
 
We're likely going to find out in the next 3 weeks iffin' we are Cole's destination . . . we have a couple things going for us, we are his dream school, and Roy has connected with Mrs. Anthony.

Join the UNC Family & the Roy to Anthony Family . . . the two-fold here may be what convinces him to choose us over anything that KRat is selling.

The youngster had a fantastic visit when he was here, Roy has made him a priority and has conveyed to Cole where exactly he will fit in.

Not sure why it's good for the schools. The FBI case is separate from the NCAA violations.

They were found guilty of defrauding the schools, meaning the schools did not know and were the victims. It is going to be more difficult for the NCAA to make a case when legally the universities/coaches/etc... were not complicit. It doesn't mean they can't do anything (though much of the 'damning' info is hearsay and testimony without proof anyway) but it would have been easier with not guilty pleas.

The FBI reasoning doesn't impact what the NCAA decides. They can say the coaches knew if they want to. They aren't bound by the court's decision.

Eh, we will see. They can say whatever they want. Not without a fight though. I think they will lose it except where they have proof. I mean, I don't care either way. It doens't impact UNC. JMO on what the verdict means.
 
Fukk wofford. Its pretty much the dook of upstate SC

Coby getting the start. Right on.
