Hot Stove: UNC Basketball

[Bigs23]

meh, he was doing stuff that is fully legal now and was never exactly morally repugnant - the players always deserved to get a slice of the pie and a LOT of them at the high major level have been getting paid in some fashion for decades.

gottfried sleeping with coeds/players gf's and such was/is definitely worse.

Wade is a weasel but he can coach.

 

[Bigs23]

Agreed, doesn't change where we are.

So, what are your expectations for next year? Was this year a success?

Better and no.

 

[UNCatTech]

Better and no.

Ok, guess we will see.

Honestly, I don't want to see them fail. I do hope that next year is better. But right now I have no confidence.

57.2% free throw and only 5.7 3PA per 100 possessions are both worrying stats.

1. Small sample size on the FT. Not a great sign, for sure.

2. Where are you getting that 3PA number? ESPN says he shot 4 3pters per game in 17.5 mpg. That would be 5.7 per 25 minutes. I don't care how fast BYU plays, no team does 100 possessions in 25 minutes.

Saw it on IC, will see if I can source it directly.

Yikes, character doesn't matter in some circles.

Shirley, you can't be serious? Naive but not serious. He, like Gottfired were just careless. You do realize that top recruits have been paid for a very long time, which includes dook and UNC also.

And now it is officially a professional free agent market. The facade of "student" athlete is also over. None of these pro players (wearing college uniforms) care about the school. Nor do the really care about a real education. How could you possibly get a real degree changing schools 3 times in 4 years?

Sports Reference has him at 58.7% on FTs and 13.4 3PA per 100.

Cadeau to Michigan

The quote in the 247 article...

"The (Michigan) coaching staff really believe in me and know what I can do," Cadeau told 247Sports. "I want to play in an offense that best suits me and my abilities, with the correct players around me so we can all win."

That makes sense and takes away one concern. 13.4 is a good volume.

solid. good for him.

Just have to see how it all shakes out. Right now doesn’t look great but the roster is far from set.

Sour grapes.

Yeah, that's pretty good.

The FTs are a little concerning, though. Time to shoot 1,000 FTs a day!

 

[Mulberry Heel]

Sour grapes.

Agreed, but it's still not a good look for UNC's coaching staff PR wise.

 

[Heelsandeers]

Good landing spot for Cadeau. Dusty May seems to get the best from his players

Pretty hard to get good PR from those portaling out of the program.
