Hubert Davis Catch-all

[SnoopRob]

And yes, he totally missed on the 03 class missing on all his big men targets (Padgett, Butch, Kleiza, Watkins, and Taft IIRC).

The rumor at the time is that by the time 2003 class was making visits/decisions that the players were warning recruits against coming to Carolina.

The only real recruit we got in the class was Reyshawn Terry and he was a lifelong Carolina fan from Winston-Salem.

Said it on a thread earlier today but this was the type of demoralizing blowout loss I was hoping we could avoid tonight because of what it might mean for the rest of the season. Just hope the team doesn’t completely roll over in the closing stretch. Moribund Syracuse as the next opponent is a good scheduling break to get some momentum back.

I hope. But given how our first game against them ended with them going on that huge run I'm not taking anything for granted. Without Caleb and Henri I think no game is an easy or certain win, even at home. And even with Caleb and Henri we've struggled in some games where we should have done better, which of course is one of the criticisms that Hubert's critics have kept pointing out, with justification.

34 in kenpom, 32 in torvik.

Assuming HD is back next year there is a ton of work to do in the portal,.especially if HV leaves. Hopefully the back channeling has begun, like we did with Henri last year.

I mean... UNC shot 5-33 from three so.
