Hot Stove: UNC Basketball

[WBroylesH]

Not that I've given up on Hubert yet, but what do y'all think of Grant McCasland as a possibility? Big XII and Big East coaches seem to be the only conferences whose coaches may still see the ACC as a step up. I'm not sure we can lure the up and comers in the SEC like Todd Golden away anymore.

(I try to keep an eye on the young up and comers who seem to have the goods. The others I've been watching the last few years -Pat Kelsey and Dusty May- have been scooped up by power conference schools already)

I really need to stop going to the premium message board - so much negativity

I originally joined the premium board to avoid all the negativity on the free board. It has changed so much.

I didn't renew my subscription.

 

[cscott]

Dent is going to UCLA.

 

[kidryancorn]

The premium certainly has an overall negative vibe, but some of that us kustified with the state of the program amd Hubert being retained. With that said I can see how it turns off some snd there are those who post ad nauseum

 

[Ramrouser]

Totally fair. Program is not in a great place and we need a great portal season.

 

[Centerpiece]

Dent is going to UCLA.

Yup. Folks said he would never leave the West Coast. They were correct.

 

[Centerpiece]

Some dawgs have yet to hit the portal. After the final four is set tomorrow night, look for some dawgs to join the ranks - especially from those 12 teams that were in the Sweet 16. Even after the final game there will be some for the FF teams to hit the portal. We had 3 hit the portal after the final game in 2021-2022. Garcia wasn't technically still with the team for half the season, but still, he was on the roster - and was a pretty good get for Minn. Averaged 19ppg and 7.5rpg and shot 47.5% this past season for the Gophers

Here's to finding some Maneks, Ingrams and Ryans this go around - and fewer Nances & Tysons

Nance would have been an asset this season.

 

[Centerpiece]

Nance would have been an asset this season.

Yup. We could have used anyone from the Milwaukee Bucks this season...

 

[SnoopRob]

Yup. We could have used anyone from the Milwaukee Bucks this season...

Giannis would have been particularly helpful.

 

[Icky Mettle]

Giannis would have been particularly helpful.

I have a strong felling that if we had Giannis, our season would have ended up a little better. He could have provided another option in the interior when Lubin, Withers, or Washington either needed a rest or got into foul trouble.

That's the prayer, but I'm getting the bad feeling that today's dudes just don't want to play at UNC as currently constructed. Sad.

Time will tell I guess. The clock is already ticking on Hubert. Regardless of the contract extension.

 

[Rock]

What do you mean? He’s not getting fired before the season.

 

[SnoopRob]

What do you mean? He’s not getting fired before the season.

i think he means HD’s in a “do or die” season and things aren’t looking good at the moment.

I, personally, am waiting to see what our team looks like in a few weeks before I make any type of major pronouncements.

Oh, we didn't get a really good big man, our shooting is suspect, we're not deep enough and Hubert has the wrong offense for this group of players.

Offseason Scoop: Moving Along (page 49 is gist to that point, then he posts about it later on too)

All right...thank you.

I read it as UNC and EC were not going to come to agreement about $$, which basically translates into "we're not going to pay EC what he wants, we're going to focus our financial resources elsewhere." Okay.

But yea, thank you for directing me to the basis for some of that chatter.

Which is a nice way of showing someone the door.

 

[TarSpiel]

and fewer Nances & Tysons

I really, truly believe that people have given up on Tyson *way* too early.

That's basically what I said.

I asked you a bunch of times and got crickets
