Yes this season Carolina with the two new recruits will be really loaded and a tough task for any opponent who matches up with the Heels but saying that I think with the possible mass exodus of much of the team next spring if UNC wins it all that thinking of the future with at least one scholarship available that a big man should be under consideration even if he is a project player.
Let me break it down in layman terms. James, Johnson and Paige have no eligibility left after this year.
With any kind of year both Meeks and Jackson will also be leaving for better opportunities in a higher level of ball.
And if Berry and Hicks have monster years they might also consider leaving for the NBA.
So in a nutshell UNC could easily have most of their expierenced front court wearing colors other than the Carolina Blue come late spring.
Even if the extra big was only used as a practice play he could at least learn the complicated Carolina system and be available for the next season.
There is absolutely no guarantee that Carolina will get Giles or Bam Bam so I would rather bring someone on board now then to just roll the dice in hopes of landing one or both of those players.
Yes I will say it again that this is going to be a fun year if you are a diehard Carolina fan but if everybody I mentioned above leave and the coaching staff strike out with Giles and Bam Bam the following year might be one to forget.
What do you think and feel about Carolina not waiting to next year to use the one scholarship still available?
