IF we get BOTH Ingram and Withers, I would LOVE to be able to bring in a guy like Will Baker to back Bacot up, I just am not ready to really see Jalen as ready for big minutes at the 5, I want to be but I am taking a more cautious approach. With BOTH Ingram and Withers I strongly feel Jack needs to stay in 24. Develop his body, tune that jumper in a little bit more, then come in and battle Powell and who we get at the 3 this season, hopefully Ingram. I see a need to back up Bacot as our most important remaining need, assuming we do get both Ingram and Withers, even more important than Cadeau reclassing IMHO. Yes, I think Cadeau is on the way to play for us next season, yes I do but there is a hole behind Bacot that I don't know that Withers, High, or Jalen can fill, at least fill next season.
Hard to imagine Baker accepting a bench role, but maybe he'd be OK as long as he gets starter minutes. 12-15 at center plus 10-15 at PF maybe?
But most people here don't seem to want 2 bigs in at the same time, and HD hasn't shown any interest in that either. Still, Baker is pretty darn good, so maybe HD would go retro for a year to have him.
UNC was not a player in this one, but the kid with maybe the highest upside, Kel'el Ware just chose Indiana for his sophmore campaign.
Athletic 7 footer, good get for IU.

I've seen reports a couple of places that make it sound like we are all in for Ingram. Haven't seen anything suggesting the same level of interest in Withers.
Anybody know?

Gotta say, I sure am looking forward the the Dude that starts ahead of Wilcher next season.
That will be one Bad Ass Dude😏
Jackson is closer to 6'6" and with all our guards, he would slot in nicely at the 3
First we heard Timberlake was it going to pop and then, nothing. Now we hear Ingram is a done deal then this.
Will the real next Tar Heel please stand up, please stand up!

I’m getting nervous about the lack of Tar Heel commitments. I’m impatient by nature but this is bringing out the worse in me.
He shot a better 3pt % than most of the guys transferring out, while being the focal point of opposing defenses. Also our assist numbers last season were pathetic. We could use his passing and playmaking.
I will admit, I don't like the poor ft % at all. He is playing at Stanford with very little pressure.
Maybe he needs the added pressure of playing at a Blueblood to make jis cream rise?
I’m sure Hubert is going to land a couple but it will be interesting to see how well he recruits after this past season happened. Previously he was able to sell hopes and dreams and then a national championship run. That’s a much easier sale than not making the tournament with the preseason number 1 team and the negative recruiting other coaches will be doing against him.
Like I said before not using the bench is gonna hurt us in the portal
The portal is becoming the equivalent of professional sports free agency. The players love it and fully taking advantage of it.
If he cant get a good NIL deal from Syracuse with that billionaire booster they have, I have zero faith UNC can even compete based on what we have seen so far with their NIL deals

Yeah. And I think one thing we liked about Withers is he can play center in a pinch. Between Washington, High, and Withers I think we have enough post depth now.
Oh yeah, cool, what field of employment is his agent going to be working with him on? I hear he is especially talented at splinter removal caused by overly worn benches, it may take an agent to figure out how to turn that in to a career?
Crystal Ball Prediction for Harrison Ingram
Prediction: UNC
Confidence: 8/10

sure looks that way, what a pure long range stroke; but I think I was just as impressed with whoever was passing to him at the basket.
We just need to sober up and get over the Manek fantasies some had with Pete. The outside shot is a bonus, not his calling card.
not a Manek fantasy for me by any means. Just want to see someone who poses a reasonable enough three point threat to warrant guarding closely.
Welcome to the Family Mr. Withers!
Lean on us, we'll help you carry on!

As someone has already mentioned, Jack is closer to 6'6" now, kids grow, he could end up even longer by the time he gets here. He is a wing (3) all day long in my book, feel free to see that differently, just sharing what I see.
Would you rather have Cap Jack or a guy like Ingram starting next season for us? Now, I get it, first instinct may be to say Jack but would you really? Jack is a slasher type guy, his deal is finish at the rim and has that really quick first step to get there where others may not. But he is not a knock down jump shooter, he isn't really that catch and shoot threat right now. Not saying he can't shoot but saying that isn't his strong point. I think he needs to add weight and I think he needs to tune in that jump shot for more consistency because it is so much harder to slash in the college game and not pick up the charge call. I take Ingram over Jack for NEXT season, Just my opinion.
LOL, dang TP, I see what ya did there, love me some Billy Withers!
Yep, that's what I'm getting at. We need a Big who can stretch, not another wannabe Wing.
For what it’s worth. I follow them on Twitter. They usually are spot on and have info before most others:
