Talk about a diamond in the rough. I’ve never heard of the guy and highlight videos are few and far between, but what I’ve seen is impressive. Then again, I said the same thing about Nance, so what do I know?! Tommy Amaker was his coach at Harvard. dook bound maybe? Nah…

I don't know about Duke. They are loaded and have a big class coming in. They have a couple of guys going in the lottery.
How tall is he? He looks fluid, athletic, energetic, and smart! He plays D and drops dimes on O! What's not to love???
Sounds like a born Tar Heel! Go get 'em Hubs!

I think more than anything we need a 4 that can shoot- this guy definitely looks like he can do that. Very smooth shot. Not to bash on nance - he shot a good percent at northwestern. But he doesn’t look like a shooter. This guy does. We need all the shooters we can get this off-season. Gimme RJ Davis and bacot coming back and bring in some shooting to spread the floor. Maybe even a pure point guard so RJ can move off the ball.
Struggle to understand why they wouldn't wait for the season to be over for all teams before opening the portal. It's 100% done for everyone in less than a month - why not wait the few weeks?
Anyway, I didn't watch Harvard this season so going strictly from the stats on Ledlum - not a particularly efficient scorer at only 51.2% TS in conference play in the Ivy - sub 50% TS for his career in Ivy League play because he doesn't shoot the 3 that well and isn't that great (65% career) from the line. Feasted a bit on the dregs of Harvard's schedule and struggled in terms of efficiency against better comp (and that better comp is only the Ivy). Almost twice as many turnovers as assists this year. Very high Usage rate - so looks like a guy who had the ball in his hands a lot while scoring fairly inefficiently in the Ivy and not doing a lot of efficient distributing. Certainly love the rebounding and steals but the statistical profile looks like someone who would struggle offensively in the ACC to me without providing much in terms of spacing with the limited 3 point shooting. I think there's likely better fits for what we need out there.

This ESPN article is behind ESPN's paywall. The analysis of GG Jackson is very critical. The writer says there is a chance GG will not be selected in the first round.
Would Hubert take him if he entered the portal and expressed an interest for UNC?
Here are a few comments about GG in the article:
"Even more alarming has been the way Jackson has responded to his own struggles, be it calling out his coaching staff on social media from the locker room or displaying poor body language on the sidelines on multiple occasions, indicating a distinct lack of maturity. Jackson has gone from being the No. 1 recruit in his high school class to no sure thing as far as hearing his name called in the first round"-

Does it look like he can shoot from 3? Can he rebound? Does he play tough, sound defense?
