Lots of new faces with a great mix of youngsters and ACC tested veterans to build a very competitive team but for everyone to know their role and job on this squad will probably take until January before it can be even considered a well oiled machine.
I personally like that UNC has another early tough schedule which will allow the team to grow as a unit and to quickly find early their strengths and weaknesses and have time to see what players mesh the best together.
Like many others I have seen Cadeau shine against other HIGH SCHOOL players but the pressure on him to perform against more gifted and physical upperclassmen is yet to be determined because immediately “he is not the messiah”.
No question in my mind this year’s team on paper looks vastly superior than last year’s squad with more firepower and upperclassman experience starting and coming off the bench.
Expectations will be high and they should be but expecting immediate results to help erase last season’s tough year needs to be tempered until the team has a REAL chance to jell and patience by the fans although often hard to do by many needs to show up early and often.
Just on name alone Carolina might crack the top 25 preseason poll but I for one would rather see the team earn any ranking they get by winning on the court and let the cards fall as they may…
