Did anyone else read Sherrell's post on Luka? Am I letting my pessimistic side come through too much, or is there a decent chance that he doesn't play for UNC?

As snoop pointed out, our offers were competitive last off season, sometimes even bidding higher than other teams involved (who ended up getting the player). I asked about Flagg because I'm curious and you seemed to imply you knew the amount he was paid by Duke.

Well then, who’s reporting did you see that gave the amount Flagg was paid by Duke? And, what was the amount?

Who knows? Not sure we'll ever really know for sure. The closest thing for this year, with credible source, is that there are 10 teams who've spent 10+ million on their current rosters, UNC and Duke are among the 10.

That was for two of his deals, one with New Balance and the other Fanatics. How much did Duke pay him?

Which is why I said that a better evaluation of the job HD/staff have done would be to analyze the improvement of the players and team.

Yes, we’ll have to agree to disagree. How much did Duke pay Flagg.

These players were not forced on HD. They're here first and foremost because HD wants them here. Those that left are no longer here because HD didn't want them enough to be here - whether it be not willing to pay enough to keep them, or through losing their trust in him as a coach, etc...

I don't see how this moves any blame away from HD and his staff, and puts it on the GM. He's not working with, nor coaching, the players. If anything, the hype surrounding this current roster, along with it costing upwards of 14 million dollars, puts more pressure (and hence blame if they...

UNC definitely did not have the same overall talent as Duke last year, for sure. Last year's team had enough talent to be top 25 all year, and should have been. How much did Duke pay Flagg?

ESPN has hated UNC for years. They're very anti UNC. Everyone knows that.

I'm with you. I don't think playing Wilson at the 3 would suit his game well, nor lead to a great offense (in HD's scheme). I do like Luka at the 2.

The roles and responsibilities are different, in HD's systems, for the 2 and 3 position. They're closer than say 1/2 or 1/3, but not interchangeable.

If you're going to start both Trimble and Luka, I'd put Seth at the 3. He plays taller/bigger/stronger than Luka.I think Luka's game serves the 2 role better than the 3 role, and Luke at the 2 with Seth at the 3 is better in HD's offense than the other way around. I am just not super excited to...
