So how does this work?

[NorCalTarheel]

So we hired a GM and a front office to support nil and recruiting. Fantastic move! Now Hubert can focus on running the team, x's and O's, team chemistry, etc...

Has there been any real conversation about how players in the portal and in high school will be identified as potential targets? Does Hubert provide Tanner a list or does Tanner do homework on players provide a catalog to Hubert?

The one thing we know about next year is that we will need at least one, but probably two, bigs. Does Hubert tell Tanner what types of bigs he wants, I have to imagine Hubert has the final right of refusal, as, in the end, it is his team and he is our head coach.

Anyone know how this works at other schools who have a couple years Head start on us?

As a pro sports fan NBA, NFL, etc. the coach has a "want" type, the GM has a spending limit. They then see who is available, recruiting, portal and the coach tries to pitch their guys worth. Ideal to have the GM , bring in "his guy".

Coach recruits style/fit, still his call to woo talent, GM gives limits to pay. They have to be on the same wave length. I do not think the UNC GM has the hiring/firing power, so gotta think this is a fit for Hubert's and the schools vision.

I really hope Tanner, as advertised, can re-establish our foreign player pipeline. There are a LOT of really good players out there

And the over seas bigs are ALL 5 out guys though, that is what they teach. If they are on the same wave length, some traditional UNC fans may not be happy.

The tradition that matters is winning 🎤💧

This is a brave new world I’m not sure I’m prepared to be a part of.

Pretty sure this is always the case

Dang G,

Beat me to it! We have fans who posted the day after a Natty talking about how we would suck the next year since peeps were leaving, lol!

I don't really like the way college ball is changing even though I fully support the idea of NIL. I hate the portal and direct pay for play aspects since they are so unregulated. I love that players are getting compensation for their contributions to the U though.

UNC has historically been slow to change largely since "you don't fix what ain't broke" but we are adapting to the current game and I expect this GM will help us catch up to those who have been paying their players for decades!

Great hire and I suspect that every U wants the GM & Coach to be on the same page and for them to communicate a great deal to ensure we get the type of players who fit our culture, talent/position needs, and budget!
