After this year, is it back to normal where kids have to sit for a year if they transfer?Transfer portal is the dumbest thing ever created in college sports
Kessler just screwed himself out of a successful college career.remember when john henson wanted to be a small forward and he was a disaster and looked like he never played basketball before and then Roy put him in the post where he belonged and he won back to back ACC DPOY and was a lottery pick and played a decade in the NBA and made over 50 million dollars?
Agreed. A year or so from now, I'll have next to no memories of him as a Heel, similar to how I hardly remember anything tony Bradley did.Kessler just screwed himself out of a successful college career.
I'm sorta sad we needed two threads to devote to a guy that will be forgotten after this season.
He will be missed without anyone else coming in!!...Hey, Dennis! You can take your son to other schools, too! Caleb Love won't be missed.
You must be related to Roy Williams!See, don't take this personally, but I don't think anyone here at this board is qualified to tell Roy that he's distributing minutes wrong. Brooks has been in the system for 4 years. Roy relies on that experience, especially on the defensive end. If Kessler is repeatedly out of position, how can Roy play him more? If Kessler's conditioning sucks, which it did for much of the season, how can Roy play him more? If Kessler is not screening correctly, or moving the ball correctly, or boxing out correctly, how can Roy play him more?
As fans, we see Kessler with 8 blocks or 16 points and 12 rebounds in one game and we're like, "Play Kessler more!" But then the next game he looks like a dog. Roy knows what he sees in practice. We don't. How in the hell are we going to tell Roy he's doing it wrong?
The bottom line is that Kessler came in with preconceived notions of what his freshman year would be. Maybe Roy shares some blame in creating that notion. But the way I see it is this is a kid that wants instant gratification and is not willing to earn his stripes and wait his turn. Screw him. I'll be watching with great anticipation to see where he goes next year, how he's used and how successful he and his team are. My guess is that he will ultimately regret this move.
You must be related to Roy Williams!

you handled that so much better than I thought you would! Good job! It's a shame there's nobody here to sweep out the trash anymore.See, this right here,...this is the kind of quality comments we've come to expect from Wolpfack fans. Insightful. Intelligent. Well articulated. Well done, friend.
Agreed. Gonzaga and Oregon thus far look the part, but outside of them, it’s just really hard to watch these games. Ugly basketball.I saw a potent team against Notre Dame, when Brooks was out due to injury. You know Roy Williams is going to stick with his preferred starting lineup by March. But, Kessler was never some all-star Superman that was being held back. He was antsy before he got more minutes. He could have just as easily gotten shredded and exposed if he played more. There's no way to know. Bottom line: If you aren't interested in the commitment to the team and coach, in college basketball, then haul ass somewhere else. Kessler will wind-up just like the Wear twins and Drew II. He had a chance to experience his true potential. I have complete confidence in Roy Williams' ability to develop players who want to evolve under his tutelage. If you're going to pout as a freshman because a senior is getting more minutes... then go pro.
College basketball is becoming less and less interesting. I've been watching this NCAAT closely this year. I see more and more of just 3-point chucking. The game sucks.
I do not believe Roy Williams lied to him or his family. You'll have a very difficult time convincing people that Roy Williams lied to parents and recruits.
It looks to me like college basketball is going to be helter skelter every....single.....year.I hope Roy retires. Not because I'm mad at him. But it will give me the push I need to check out of college sports. I just find it hard to get emotionally invested and root for kids that I would probably find to be entitled little pricks.
Thanks for your time Roy. Quit now while you're ahead and try to enjoy your golden years. I sure wouldn't waste them dealing with today's bratty youth and their shitty parents.
Going to be?It looks to me like college basketball is going to be helter skelter every....single.....year.
My guess is he ends up at Georgia
Right. And Bacot was on the bench too much also. Point to a competitive game this year where Brooks was the #1 guy/ reason we won.This is 1000% on Roy. How many game threads did we have where we said "where's Walker?" because he would have these extended moments just sitting on the bench?
But aren't we glad that Garrison got his 30mpg.
I'm good with that!Oh well, maybe we're gonna become a football school? Is it football season yet?😁
Personally I don't care how the team plays basketball as long as the win.. If jacking up a ton of threes and playing like the houston rockets wins games, then by all means let's do it!Geez, I had to check and make sure I had not got on Rupps Rafters rather than THI, this fan base today is just as if not more insecure than Kys and that takes some doing.
I hate that we are losing a special young talent like Kessler, enough with the he will stink where ever he goes, he will be very good no matter where he plays. Roy has been trying to deal with this one for a while now, his pops and uncle believe the kid is a stretch 4/5 and maybe in time that is what he can become, he just was not ready to be that this season. You folks watched the kid play this season, you tell me, did you really want to see Kessler pumping up treys all season? You going to come on here and tell us the game has passed Roy by because he didn't want Kessler out pumping up treys all game long?
You guys, lets see what words of wisdom I have read here today, in addition to Kessler it is Sharpe is 100% gone to the NBA, Love is either going NBA or transferring, RJ is transferring, as is Ant, and someone even told us Leaky is transferring, some big guy told him that? But by far the most entertaining is those that state as absolute fact that the game has passed Roy by, that it is time for him to hang them up and spend his time working on his handicap...
I love this one, folks here seem pretty adamant that they do not want UNC to turn in to a 1&D factory like duke and Ky yet just this past season Roy gets the #1 or 2 freshman class in the country (depending on who you ask) and I would ask, exactly which one of those very talented players did you not want Roy to sign when they were being recruited? I don't recall a single Tar Heel fan upset that we signed Love, Kessler, Sharpe, or RJ? Why, either you want Micky D level talents or you don't? I do see constant Monday morning QBing going on when some of those same players have a bad game?
Yeah, the game has passed Roy by for sure because the game has radically CHANGED IN THE LAST 3YEARS, I guessing those that seem ready for Roy to leave now were all for him when we went to back to back final 4s and won our natty what, 3 years ago? I have seen folks lobby for Nat Oats to come in and Roy step down, I forgot, how many natty does Nate Oats have again? Are those the same folks that really wanted Shaka Smart to be our head coach one day, you know Shaka don't ya, he is the guy that Texas fans are running out of town today? As for Nate Oats, do you really want to see UNC go small and have their entire roster pumping up treys because that is what Oates does, don't have a lay up then pass it to someone that will take a trey.
Really ashamed today to be associated with some of these folks that claim to be Tar Heels because what I see today is not in any way Tar Heel like, the wuffies are looking for fans so are the dukies, PLEASE see if they will take you.
For those that are Tar Heel blue, tough day for sure but let's let this play out and ease up on the worst case speculation as being fact and see what we are working with after all the smoke clears. But PLEASE STOP with all the nonsense knee jerk worst case speculation and trying to say it is sourced from within the program.
You do realize Houston has lost 20 games in a row!!!!Personally I don't care how the team plays basketball as long as the w.. If jacking up a ton of threes and playing like the houston rockets wins games, then by all means let's do it!
The sun will still come up tomorrow
very disappointing season for brooks. he looked like a completely different player compared to last year. what the heck happened?...Brooks performance based on expectations has to be the biggest flop in UNC history. For all of us who said Brooks would improve his NBA stock by coming back, we were wrong. If anything, it was the opposite....
he's just a freshman, and i suspect he's going to develop into a sensational player, unfortunately....his decision sadly makes me suspect he will not progress. I still wish him well, but he is not as good as he thinks.
Regardless, they were recruited based on a vision by Roy that wasn't upheld. If Roy doesn't sell them on being a stretch 4 like Luke Maye, then they likely commit to a different school to begin with. That is what is boils down to. Walker wasn't utilized as they were promised.
Which is why he fit in so well.Dude wasnt hitting the rim on the jump shots he took
