For fun, I was looking up how some of the players we either used to have or targeted were doing this year. In case others were interested, I thought I'd post a basic status of them.
Former Heels:
Caleb Love - Still at Arizona averaging 15.8ppg, 4.5rpg, 3.3apg, a career high 1.4spg and a career low 1.8TOpg. Shooting 30% from 3.
D'Marco Dunn - Playing about 20mpg at Penn State. Averaging 7 points shooting 36% from 3.
Dontrez Styles - Starting at NCST. Regular starter. 10.3ppg, 4.7rpg and shooting 35.6% from 3.
Kerwin Walton - Still starting at Texas Tech. Only averaging 4.6ppg but shooting 40.8% from 3. Starting, but only playing 16mpg. Statistically, not providing much.
Dawson Garcia - Putting up big numbers at Minnesota. 19.8ppg, 7.4rpg and shooting 36.5% from 3.
Will Shaver - Doing nothing. Only played in 9 games this year. Fun fact, this was HD's first commitment as a head coach.
Tyler Nickel aka 5-Piece - Regular starter for Vandy. Averaging 10ppg and shooting 38% from 3.
Puff Johnson - Regular starter for Penn State. Averaging 10.2ppg, 4.4rpg and shooting 30.2% from 3.
Recruits from last years HS class (current college freshmen). Just a couple of names we felt good about at some point.
Boogie Fland (Arkansas) - Out for the season after playing 18 games. Averaged 15.1ppg, 5.7apg (impressive) and was shooting 36.5% from 3.
Cam Scott (South Carolina) - We stopped recruiting him when we got Drake. Playing 12mpg and averaging 2.9ppg. Only shooting 15.8% from 3.
Jason Asemota (Baylor) - Only playing 7mpg and scoring 1.6ppg. Not having a great freshman campaign. I personally expected more from him as a freshman.
Portal players we went after this past off-season.
Cliff Omoruyi (Alabama) - Regular starter for Alabama. Averaging 7ppg, 6.3rpg and 1.2bpg. Not a threat from 3 but shooting 73.9% from the field, which leads the SEC.
Jonas Aidoo (Arkansas) - Underperforming. Started 12 of 20 games averaging only 5.2ppg, 3.9rpg playing only 16mpg.
Ugonna Onyenso (Kansas State) - Only playing 10mpg. Averaging 3.4ppg and 2.4rpg. This is about what I expected.
Coleman Hawkins (Kansas State) - Regular starter averaging 11ppg and 6.8rpg. Shooting 30.9% from 3.
Adou Thiero (Arkansas) - Playing well. Averaging 16.5ppg, 6.2rpg. Shooting well from 2 at 63.5% but not great from 3 at 25.7%.
Maxime Raynaud (Stanford) - We know how he's doing. Leading the league in scoring at 20.4ppg and 11.7rpg. Unfortunately, he was out of the portal as fast as he was in.
Danny Wolf (Michigan) - Playing really well. Averaging a well-rounded 12.8ppg, league-leading 10rpg, and adding 3.6apg and 1.6bpg. Shooting 37.1% from 3 and had one of the nastiest step-back 3's I've ever seen a few game sago (see below).
