Nance is just tall. He really shouldn't be starting or getting all the minutes he gets.

I expected Washington to start eating into his minutes over the course of the season. I don't know why it isn't happening. Hubert just doesn't seem interested in developing a bench. He wants to ride or die with his starting five. Which is weird for a product of old school UNC basketball. Dean Smith always went at least 8 deep with core players, oftentimes 9 or 10.

Bama and Auburn are trading blows like it's a boxing match.

Bacot gave them a shape up or ship out talk.

Good for Bacot. Leadership counts and I'm sure he wants to be in the tourney one more time. The announcers did say something about if Carolina lost today, they would be out.

Everybody needs a bench that can play decent minutes, especially if a starter goes down. Maybe Davis doesn't trust the guys he has sitting.

I honestly wouldn't be surprised if Bacot is back again next year taking advantage of the opportunity for an extra year due to COVID. He's not considered a good NBA prospect. He can probably pocket more in NIL deals next year than he can make playing pro ball. His pro opportunities would still be there afterwards.

I wouldn't be surprised if he returned either. I do remember he wanted to go pro after his freshman season, but came back after the scouts told him he wasn't a lottery pick. Guess his draft stock has never really improved and as you pointed out, NIL makes a huge difference these days.

That was the line last year and I bought it. But there's real talent getting splinters in their ass this year.

I don't see Davis being UNC's coach for longer than two more years. He might not last that long. Seems things never last long for guys that follow a legend, especially if the team/school has better options available.

Bacot isn't a floor stretcher on offense like an NBA 4 needs to be and he lacks ideal height/length for a 5 and he's a subpar NBA athlete either way. Do I think he can play in the NBA anyway? Honestly, yeah I think he has a chance. Anyone who can rebound like he can does.

Yeah, you don't wanna be the guy who follows the guy. We'll see how it goes for Hubert. I'm rooting for him. But he has to start getting more committed to developing depth. You just can't rely on riding five guys constantly. I think it's a big reason why we're so hot and cold as a team. Usually when you're cold you look to your depth to provide a spark and turn the tide. We don't. There's nowhere to look for that spark.

Bacot will probably end up in the G League or playing overseas instead of the NBA. The NBA has really moved to the stretch 4s and 5s in a big way.

Considering how long Davis has been a coaching assistant, he should be better at using his bench. Maybe he's trying to put his own stamp on UNC instead of doing things the way they've always been done.

Yeah, I think Bacot is a long shot in the NBA but I think he has a chance.

I hope Hubert that Hubert will develop that part of his coaching. We'll see.

      PFF ranks the 2025 starting QBs

      By Seltzer · Posted

      100%. And these same people will claim you have an agenda. You can't have it every way. We had the lowest rated defense in the league last year. Statistically the worst ever. By PFF grades (for whatever that's worth- but they are readily accepted, used, and conveyed by most "reputable" sources), the defense was the worst ever. Not only that, PFF rated our receiving corp the worst in football last season. The absolute worst... out of 32 teams. Which is why regardless of the lip service Canales and Morgan paid to the current guys, they knew it would be criminal not to give Bryce more help. People fixating on team stats and not taking these things into context are stupid, plain and simple, and I'm for one thankful they're not running this team (or probably anything for that matter bc they obviously can't discern reality. Again, going back to the eyeball test these Narrative Nancies seem to hate so much, did they not see the windows Bryce was putting balls into? Have the generally not watched much NFL? Please, please show me the film where all these NFL QBs are making throws like this to this point Bryce was "below average" down the stretch compared to them. Bryce made more wow throws in that 3 game stretch of the Bucs, Chiefs, and Eagles than every other QB combined in all the years since since Cam got hurt I genuinely am baffled by people that can watch throws like that and act like it's nothing. I guarantee you Steve Spagnola, Todd Bowles, and and Vic Fangio didn't think it was nothing after watching the little guy torch them with players those teams would be embarrassed to trot out at the skill position players. The national media spent all year making excuses for Mahomes not having elite weapons when he had multiple 1st & 2nd round talents at the skill positions along with future HoFers in Kelce and Hopkins. Bryce wasn't throwing for 300 yards every week with David Moore and Adam Theilen in spite of jaw dropping throws and you want to say the guy played below average. For those people, again, we ain't watching the same sport. And the name calling doesn't change that... The vitriol and projection... it's off the effing charts with these people.

      "Well you see if you remove this terrible game that terrible game this other terrible game and then focus on these games you'll see he's actually one of the better QB's in the league and he's actually as good as Jayden Daniels". My god this place is delusional. I love it.
