We
are better than that. That's the point. We're better than having to take a page out of Cal's playbook. I think the dribble drive offense that Cal runs that essentially lets players freestyle on the court is also a big selling point to OAD types. Are you in favor of Roy adopting that style of play? I mean, hey, it works, right?
Have you seen the movie Oh Brother Where Art Thou? If you have, you'll understand the relevance of this clip. If not, let me set the scene. Pappy is running for public office against Stokes. Stokes' campaign is using a midget as his sidekick. Here in this clip, Pappy is talking to his campaign people about how they can get back in the race. Pappy's nephew suggest they go out and find a shorter midget. And Pappy gets irate and says "we'll look like a bunch of Johnny-come-latelys". Hilarious clip.
I apologize for questioning your fandom. You seem to be a good fan and I'm never in the business of telling someone how they have to support the team. But I am in the business of arguing what's good and what ain't for the program in general (I'm also in the business of arguing about rap music as I grew up in the golden age of hip hop). You and I clearly have two different ideas on that and I guess that's fine. But from my standpoint, us attempting to replicate someone else's recruiting process seems weak. And I think we're better than
that. Furthermore, I also see it as pointless as I don't believe Drake's involvement with UK is doing much. Cal's success is based on his ability to get kids that need instant gratification to the league immediately. His style and everything about Cal is built on that and enables that. Roy is not like that. Roy's system is not like that. So IMO, we could have Nas writing songs about the Tar Heels and it wouldn't make basketball recruits start falling over themselves to play for us. (You do know who Nas is, right?)
