I'd like to see Clint get an update with Jeremiah Tilmon. Seems like 24/7 thinks we're his leader and he'd be a big time get at a need position.
We have Isaiah and Kennedy for one more year, at best, and we likely lose JJ too. Two years ago, the general consensus was that we'd land at least two of the top players in a loaded North Carolina class of '16. And most felt we were the strong leader for Giles. Guess what? It didn't happen.
We need a couple of bigs in both the'16 and '17 classes for the purpose of continuity. We need Rakocevic, lest we be caught with one center and a bunch of guards and small forwards. That could spell 8-20 all over again.
What I agree with you is I dont think we should add a 3 star big for "depth" especially when we added a player for depth in the previous class at the same position. The staff appears to be on the lookout for a big in 2016 with the info yestereday about the the Uzbekistan big and there are always grad transfers. If we cant get a big that can play big minutes next season, than save the ship for 2017 and give it to Shea Rush.I would rather have an 8-20 type season (won't be that bad with Roy at the helm), and win a title two years later, than have 4 more years of what we have been having personally. I will take a really down year if it means top recruits see available playing time and come and turn us into a real contender again (which we have not been for 4 years).
Updated article does list UNC.Don't see us listed in this article.

We're going to load up in both classes!!..the NCAA mess will be long gone and an afterthought by then!!2017 & 2018 recruiting years, at this point, don't look rosy.
