I doubt Seth is going to come back if there's any chance he's not starting next year. I think HD's meeting with EC (at least as reported by IC) points to their intention of starting Seth next year. Yes, they're are talking with 2 guards, we'll have to wait and see how is willing to come to UNC, given the high likelihood that they'd be playing behind Seth...unless for some reason they intend to move Seth to a different position.
IC is pretty clear that IJ is either going pro or hitting the portal.
As I said, I think that HD/staff ultimately made the call on EC, but I don't think it was a thing where they've known they were "done" with him for any significant length of time yet strung him along or kept playing him despite thinking other players are better.Snoop, you follow along on IC so I'm assuming you saw where Ben (and others) stated that HD didn't think a backcourt of EC and Seth was a viable option. Not that they couldn't meet his expectations, or money, or EC wanted out (contrary, in fact). Nor did anyone say that HD tried to work anything out. IC was adamant that HD viewed the EC/Seth backcourt as not a viable option and that HD wanted Seth back, and that was the reason EC and HD split. So, while HD most likely did not tell EC to get out directly, his actions all but told him to hit the bricks.
Oh, I agree. Never meant to imply that, if I did.As I said, I think that HD/staff ultimately made the call on EC, but I don't think it was a thing where they've known they were "done" with him for any significant length of time yet strung him along or kept playing him despite thinking other players are better.
In some ways, I might otherwise sum it up as "during the season the focus is on the team, after the season the focus is on the players".
Ice cold take, brotherI really, truly believe that people have given up on Tyson *way* too early.
I think you could be right, but I don't know that there's any evidence that you're right.I really, truly believe that people have given up on Tyson *way* too early.
I could see him saying if you can shoot 35% from 3 you'll start.I dunno...it's all pretty speculative. I can imagine Coach Davis telling Seth that he can compete for the starting spot, but I can't imagine him guaranteeing it, especially given Seth's 3 point game.
I suppose we can come back to this page in a couple of months and know a lot more at that point.
What would he gain by transferring?IC is pretty clear that IJ is either going pro or hitting the portal.
Neither IC, nor anyone close to the situation has said, so this will be my own speculation. The logical reason would be that he either doesn't like UNC/staff/school/community or that he doesn't think spending another year at UNC will be as beneficial to achieving his self-stated goal of playing in the league. Reading through his interviews, it seems like he loves it there, so I assume he doesn't feel like HD/staff can develop his skills as well as someone else. (This take is biased by reading what cjones was posting the other day regarding EC leaving.)What would he gain by transferring?
I’m fine with this. Those two, with maybe Powell, were the only ones who showed consistent fight and fortitude regardless of any personal or team up-and-downs.Feels like Lubin and Trimble are the only ones coming back that actually played. Hopefully, Wilson and the other incoming freshmen still come. Seems they have their work cut out for them putting together a team thatvwill be better than this season.
If he loves it there and leaves because he doesn't believe they will develop him, we can kiss all 5 start recruits good by until there are changes in the staff to address that feeling.Neither IC, nor anyone close to the situation has said, so this will be my own speculation.

doesn't believe they will develop him
I believe stankey & atTech are talking about Jackson, not Cadeau.I have a hard time understanding this point of view. Do we not think Marcus is working with him every day? What does he want out of his "development" that only the coaches - and not he himself - can provide? I genuinely don't understand this critique.
EC had every opportunity to showcase his skills. And while he might not have had the ideal personnel around him to maximize his skill set, I don't understand why he and the staff couldn't have come to an understanding about the goals for our portal acquisitions.
I dunno. It just feels to me like it's more personal. That somebody didn't like somebody.
Cade's play had serious holes when he was playing good minutes.

If that is the reason, then I agree with you, and that is what cjones thinks is happening already (regarding the high-profile players).If he loves it there and leaves because he doesn't believe they will develop him, we can kiss all 5 start recruits good by until there are changes in the staff to address that feeling.
