How about overseas bigs that have already been in college for a while?Are we looking at any bigs overseas?
If we've hired an expensive staff to look for good players and they are ignoring foreign players, that seems like an oversight.

He'd look good in a unc uniform
Wilson looks like a 4/5 to me, not a 4/3. So I'd have him, Lubin, and a legit center rotate at the 4/5 spots if possible.You don't think we need a true 4 or another stretch 4?
If we keep Drake, I'd like to see Drake and Wilson split the SF slot Then Wilson can split the PF position with a legit 4.
Player SF mins PF mins Drake 30 -- Wilson 10 15 Transfer -- 25
How would you divide the minutes?
I like him, an athletic big.

We're definitely going to make a huge push to land him.Arizona reporters on X talking like Henri Veesaar to UNC is a lock
What do they know that we dont?

Gosh dang it. Now you've gone and gotten my hopes up. I preferred Veesaar waaay over Williamson (Alabama).Arizona reporters on X talking like Henri Veesaar to UNC is a lock

Saw that but he's 6'9 and list as a PF. PF is the ONLY position we don't need at this point (Wilson, Lubin, High).This guy just appeared atop 247's list. Looks like he can do it all - but can he do it all against tougher competition?
At the moment, we have zero proven PFs.Saw that but he's 6'9 and list as a PF. PF is the ONLY position we don't need at this point (Wilson, Lubin, High).
I hear you and agree that it would be great to stack the roster with top notch talent. My main point had a sprinkle of reality on it in that our biggest need is a top-notch 5. We then went out and created another huge need for ourselves in the PG position. With Wilson being ranked where he is, and the uncertainty around Drake (and I guess Ian to a lesser degree), I think we run out of NIL money before we can stack that roster the way us fans would like to.At the moment, we have zero proven PFs.
Wilson will play where we need him, of course. If we have a good roster, I imagine that's mostly at PF, some at SF. Leaving plenty of room for another PF. Plus Lendeborg looks like he has the muscles and moves to play in the post as needed. But too good at other things to trap under the rim.
Lubin has turned out to be a good undersized center. But is there any reason to think he would be good playing away from the basket? He might be, but I can't recall any evidence to that effect. Then again, my memory sucks.
As for High, I have no idea what his best position is.
Jason Scheer might be the most insufferable douche to work for a recruiting site. And the amount of hate he has posted towards UNC over the years is tremendous.
He's a 6'9" center. We want to get taller. He'll probably end up taking a big bag from Kansas.This guy just appeared atop 247's list. Looks like he can do it all - but can he do it all against tougher competition?
He looks taller. Does that count?He's a 6'9" center. We want to get taller. He'll probably end up taking a big bag from Kansas.
He can't play the stretch 4. So he's an undersized center, and we saw how that worked out this season. We're going hard after the 7 footer Veesaar, who Sam Vecinie says is the best big in the portal. 7 footer, shot blocker, athletic, can make 3s.He looks taller. Does that count?
Seriously, though, if we think this guy's play can translate to the big leagues, we should be all over him. If you're rigth, Kansas thinks so.
Agreed and just by looking at him you would know hes never played a competitive basketball game in his lifeJason Scheer might be the most insufferable douche to work for a recruiting site. And the amount of hate he has posted towards UNC over the years is tremendous.
Veesaar played really well against puke. He sure looks legit. The longer that goes the more nervous I get.He can't play the stretch 4.

We're going hard after the 7 footer Veesaar, who Sam Vecinie says is the best big in the portal. 7 footer, shot blocker, athletic, can make 3s.
We're also going after 6'9" Kanon Catchings who can play SF and stretch 4. Ideally we'd end up with a 2 deep of

Arizona transfer Henri Veesaar is expected to officially visit North Carolina on Wednesday
Veesaar was effusive in his praise of Caleb Love as a great teammate after Zona lost. He went on and on about Caleb. The Caleb/Hubert/UNC connection seems strong.Arizona transfer Henri Veesaar is expected to officially visit North Carolina on Wednesday
