preseason projections are a bigger crapshoot than ever before with the unprecedented roster turnover of the portal era.

none of those have been done since we added luka, anyway. he significantly changes the calculus for us. and i don't buy state being better than us with will wade and lubin, regardless. if they'd gotten haggerty, maybe. but they didn't.

Other than CF, who is projecting state to be better than UNC?

It sucks that the teams Jackson and Cadeau went to are projected to be better than Carolina.

Why does this matter?

Even State is projected to be better than Carolina with Lubin and their new coach. I don’t know if I want to start being like State and settling for just getting in the tournament.

I have no idea who’s on states roster besides VAL and that Texas Tech transfer

It looks like they replaced their entire roster like UNC
 
That ESPN writeup for State is utterly hilarious. Talk about grading on a curve: They got Darrion Williams and as for the rest of the roster:

While Wade brought along a couple of players with him from McNeese, he also focused on power-conference experience with portal additions Tre Holloman (Michigan State), Terrance Arceneaux (Houston), Jerry Deng (Florida State) and Ven-Allen Lubin (North Carolina) all having played high-major basketball.

So, having played high major basketball is now the criteria for making the top 25? Four guys who have played, no matter how good? And these guys are not good. Oh, he brought some guys from McNeese? You mean like Quadrir, the guy who shot 15% from 3 last year?

That predicted starting lineup has NO shooting. The 3pt percentages for the guys who actually made a 3 pointer last year are: 15%, 32%, 33%, 34%.

Anyway, my guess is this is the ratings-generating outrage machine of the early season. Put State in front of UNC and go viral.

Just CF CFing. He’s as anti UNC as any UNC “fan” you’ll find.

No, you're just okay with UNC basketball being mediocre or worse. I'm not because I am a fan who actually cares about the program continuing to be one of the best year in and yesr out.
 
Greg: UNC Giving Hubert Davis, Basketball Program Unprecedented Financial Support

Multiple sources have confirmed that UNC has surpassed the $14 million mark in its financial commitment to the 2025-26 roster, approximately triple what was spent on the roster a year ago. Men’s basketball executive director and general manager Jim Tanner’s $850,000 salary represents another bullet point in confirming the university’s support of its prized program.
