I'm not supporting per 40 or that based on Brooks %'s last year, that he will improve in rebounding this year. Just clearing up CC's response. Based on his response to unchampions, he seemed to take it as if unchampions was saying Brooks was being historic, which wasn't so.
The Grad Transfer Thread
- Thread starter Steat

I disagree. This years team had one good rebounder in Maye and several OK rebounders like Brooks. By your definition Hicks played with 2 historically great rebounders, 1 historically good rebounder and still had a similar rate as Brooks. The fact that Brooks was #2 ahead of Cam and Leaky is not that impressive.
Can someone give a rundown on what we’d get in all of the grad transfers, what sort of role would they play? I.e: Justin Pierce, Keeling, Tucker, etc. I’ve tried to get a scouting report from these threads, but it’s hard to sort through all the Mumbo jumbo about non-grad transfer things
Just look at this. If you see something unrelated to grad transfers, click on the down arrow on the right side of your screen. You can also use your finger to scroll down past any unrelated info as well.

Luke is a great defensive rebounder and a good offensive rebounder. Coby White is an excellent defensive rebounder and a fantastic off-the-ball defender. Luke is a wonderful basketball player and athlete. I suspect if he played Tight End for the football team next year, he would be a 3rd or 4th round pick.
Definitely Cole on board makes UNC more attractive for grad transfers, IMO. He is the kind of leader, play-maker, distributor, facilitator (however you want to favorably describe it) whose impact makes UNC immediately a much better team and makes the game a lot easier for teammates. Plus you have the fact that with Cole it instantly improves UNC's outlook for competing at a top-3 in the ACC level and going far into the NCAA tourney.
I wouldn't get carried away. We have more returning than many acknowledge. As for Precious, he has a decision to make, i.e., handler or no handler --- we shall see. As for grad transfers, grabbing just anybody doesn't really help. Tucker, I'm pretty sure, is Auburn or NBA. Keeling could be a nice add though.
What's the deal with Tucker? Seemed like he wanted to come here, and I don't buy the academic speculation because if he has a degree from another school, it makes it much easier to be admitted.
What needs to be mentioned here was that Tucker was originally recruited to Little Rock by now-Auburn Asst Wes Flanigan, and they have a strong relationship. They're also selling him on stepping right in for Bryce Brown.

Now plus #3 Cole and #65 Harris.
And don't forget that before his injury Jeremiah Francis was #51. Might be again. Or even better, given time.
Which means you need to believe JB was better than all those guys under Roy.... plus Phil Ford who is acknowledged widely as a top 5 player ever at UNC, and Ed Cota, just off the top of my head.....
not to mention guys probably close to JB such as Phelps, King Rice, Jimmy Black, etc..... just from people I got to watch, from early 80's on.
Just wow
then you’ve missed a lot the last 14 years...and what a ride it’s been...felton is my favorite pg, maybe more so than cota and phelps(might be before your time)...won’t bore you with the details, but true dawgs, generals, if you will...also enjoyed felton’s career up close when he was in high school...i can see the allure of lawson and marshall, though...white was an amazing gift as it turned out, right?...couldn’t have asked for more for one season.
and i won’t go there with black and ford.
youtube and team stat pages are your friend if you need a refresher...congrats on auburn making the f4...hope pearl stays away from “bbq’s” and such...i know he loves the gray area.
Um that's nice and all but I don't need refreshers, as I miss almost nothing. Thanks anyway though. As for last season, well.. nothing about that fits in with a conversation about any of the PG1s you mentioned.
Neither does berry. At barely 3 assists/gm Hes prob 7th or 8th all time best unc pg AT BEST. No way in hell hes ahead of ford, smith, cota, felton, paige and marshall. ABSOLUTELY ABSURD to rank him ahead of those guys. I could also make a damn good argument for larry brown and phelps as well. A great pg for sure. Top ten in unc history says a lot. But best ever? Bwahahahahahaha!!!!!!
First, when did I ever say "best ever"? Never.
And second, grow up. Seriously.
First, and i quote, “berry ran the show better than anyone ever played here” so are you saying thats not the same as saying “best ever”? really? Gmafb
Second, in your face, seriously
Third, if you’re stepping back from such an idiotic opinion (as you should) then where do you rank him? I’m always curious how auburn fans rank our pg’s.

I’ll give u kudos gary. Theres been some stuff posted on radar over the years that’s been beyond the realm of ludicrous. From ncaa conspiring with refs to make us lose to nova, pollsters conspiring to keep dook ranked ahead of us, ncaa tourney committee conspiring to give us a harder bracket than dook, to espn announcers conspiring to hate on us. But to claim that berry “ran the show better than anyone ever” at unc.....omg that might just beat them all!!!!!!
This is so cool. I mean, to keep checking this thread for grad transfer news & to see another pissing match because someone doesn't agree with @gary-7. Thanks.
Cool. Obviously your problem is with the person hi jacking the grad transfer thread to throw shade at colby and claim berry is the best unc pg ever. If u dont like someone taking issue with such crap then feel free to ignore me. Thanks
My neighbor pisses me off but I don't feel the need to go tell him all the time.
Throwing shade at Colby isn't a bad thing. It makes it easier to go on a cracker since it will most likely make it cooler and more solid.
BS as usual. I was talking about the floor-general role and I stand by that. He did that as well or better than anyone. But then, you wouldn't know the difference or the nuances among the various roles of PG play, would you? No, of course not. You just wanted to take some juvenile pot-shot. Too bad it blew up in your hand.
