Sorry about that. My finger accidentally hit a wrong key and the poll published before I finished the 4th option;

It should have read:

Some other top ranked player that we don't currently think we are likely to get.

I suggest that those who voted for PJ change their vote so the poll reflects how you currently think on the subject.

Others can change their votes, too, of course.

And remember, you can vote for more than one option. So you might, for example, vote for Knox AND also vote for a grad player if you think we'll end up with either or both.
 
Anyone know why Roy doesn't look to grad transfers? Felt like this year would have been perfect to get a big for a season to give us minutes (and 5 fouls).

I'm sure he has his reasons, I just don't know what they are.

I wouldn't say he doesn't. Just that they aren't his go-to option. No idea why, but I would guess its part of the stigma that comes with transfers, as many coaches are speaking up about it, as of late.

We were on the short list for Damion Lee after Tokoto declared and before K Williams was on board. Although not a "grad transfer", Alex Oriakhi was immediately elligible after transferring from UConn, Roy went after him too.

Honestly, I dont recall many grad transfers above 6'9 with solid numbers this year.
 
We use to be mentioned with Duke, UK, KU, and now Ariz. when the media would talk about the (elite of the elite).. but not any longer!

Sorry, but think it's over for us being considered a blue blood, Just MHO. I'm really sad about it. I thought after all this time with the lack of recruiting good top talent that it would come back by now, but the more I see it, the more i think it's just not "coming back"!! Another 5* said no (PJ) and even a 4*(Brooks) said Hell NO to us just this week!!???????????????????? REALLY??

Hell, first we went through not getting 5 star guys, now we can't get the 4 star guys either. ..ok we got Bradley last year to commit, but look what Brooks told us this week!! He Picked that school over us!!???

And look at our last 3 signees for 2017.. all 3* guys! REALLY?? Here at UNC?????? -- WTF????????????

I'M SICK OF IT.. AND MORE THEN THAT, I'M SICK OF ALL THE EXCUSES WHY!!!!

Dont worry. All those 3* are really "diamonds in the rough" that all the other schools just missed out on and the experts havent really gotten to see play.

So...just to give you the other side...

- Bradley was a McAA and he looks every bit of a 5 star elite recruit so far.
- Seventh was underranked. Switched positions and it caused his rank to tumble.
- Jalek is a 5* on some sites and from what I've seen (about 7 games), he's very much a 5*.
- Leaky and White are big time recruits.
- Joey Baker in 2019 could give us a big time head start on that class.

All is not lost my friend.
