Seth Trimbell and Drake Powell

[superstar57]

Trying to figure who stays and who goes next year. I came to one conclusion, UNC needs to keep Seth and Drake for another year. I am concerned Seth may want to test out his value in the portal, and concerned Powell may be selected in the draft.

Seth is due for an explosive season, and the highlights alone may be worth him staying. RJ Davis leaving is the real reason I think he should stay. The playing time for Seth will be there, and the green light should be there to, we will need his scoring.

Powell staying is about his value, I don't think transferring does anything for his draft stock, but a big year could put him in top 10 in 2026 draft. For us it provides another high level player who can defend multiple positions. Just having Seth and Drake makes your defense respectable.

EC could definitely be used next year, but his spot is always about are we getting a Big. If Caleb Wilson is his only respectable big, and him being a freshman I would have my doubts about EC's value to us. If EC left would you hand the keys to Seth? Is EC's pass first mentality the way to get some bigs in the portal?

Washington, I don't know him, but I think he would be smart to stay with UNC. If we make a run next year, Washington will be important as a role player. If he gets that 3 to fall next year, I could see Washington having some big moments.

Lubin I could have grouped with Seth and Drake to be honest as a must have next year. Lubin is an undersized power forward often times asked to play center. Withers gone Lubins minutes could increase. Lubin more of that grinding mentality should find playing time and a better role than playing center or power forward along side Jalen Washington next year.

Can't wait for the portal to open up, next season depends on it!

i think we all love seth but next season will be as much of a disappointment as this year if we are banking on him to be our #1 backcourt scorer. much like how everyone except Gary knew handing the 5 spot keys to Washington this year would be a disaster

 

[Spaceytoyz]

I’m ok with Drake Caleb 2 Freshmen and Portal players

Our season will end at 1-12 versus teams that are good

RJ Ian Withers Gone regardless

I would keep Lubin if he’s willing to except less minutes

If you want Wilson here you sure as hell better hope EC stays.

GFY.

 

[Spaceytoyz]

Seth and EC want to be true Stars but at UNC that level is 4th 5th option and if they can get that at another place they should

Washington Brown Tyson you can upgrade that in the portal very easily

 

[Spaceytoyz]

Again if EC and Seth are willing to share with bigger portal athletes at their position it could work I just think kids today aren’t gonna

So if EC hits the portal no Wilson…

So if EC hits the portal no Wilson…

While money talks these days (and thus nothing is certain), let's just say that would be a very likely outcome.

 

[Quest4Seven]

GFY.

Sucks that Platek doesnt have any eligibility left otherwise he could be our starting PG if Cadeau leaves

You're nothing if not consistent in your juvenile idiocy, I'll give you that.

I've been saying that for weeks.

I don't think one has anything to do with the other, without any direct knowledge.

 

[gary-7]

Well, with some direct knowledge, Caleb wouldn't have committed to UNC in the first place without EC being here.
Feel free to extrapolate from that as you will.

 

[NorCalTarheel]

Wilson said that he wanted to go somewhere that had a great point guard. Think he mentioned EC by name

Hopefully EC will be here, finding an elite pg on top of our needs at the 5 and shooting guard would be a tough ask from tge portal.
We would have to hit on all three.
I think EC will be more comfortable in his own skin without RJ in play.
That being said a starting backcourt of EC and Trimble can't be reality.
I would prefer EC with a stud 2 guard and Trimble backing up the 2/3

 

[NathanFielder]

If you want Cadeau and Wilson next season, then they have to upgrade at the 2. An unwilling shooting backcourt like Cadeau and Trimble along with probably a limited shooter/scorer Wilson will make the offense limited. And that’s assuming they bring in an all conference caliber 5. And that’s also assuming if Powell returns he’ll become a willing shooter/scorer.

The answer to the question is it depends who the replacements are. There isn’t a single position on the current roster that shouldn’t be examined to be upgraded.

I personally want a pretty different looking group out there next season. Either that or the current players need to get A LOT better (and taller, lol).
