Carolina is going to look a whole lot different next year.

Current Lineup:

G - Davis, Trimble

G - Love, Wilcher

F - Dunn

F - Washington, High

C - Bacot, Shaver

This is assuming Love comes back, he may leave.

Carolina has four scholarships open and every single one should be invested in shooters.

There’s also a rumor floating around that Pitino might flip Ian Jackson.

Glad to see Bacot return.  The idea of Ian Jackson going elsewhere has worried me as much as not making the tournament this season. Definitely could happen

I honestly hope Love just goes into the draft and goes to the G League. It's what he needs for his development and it's what UNC needs as a team. Too often these guys get caught standing around waiting for Love to do something.  

If the Heels can push Love out then I’d try to get Cadeau and Jackson (since they want to play together) to reclassify and then use one of the scholarships on Timberlake and then hope some additional shooters hit the portal for the remaining two scholarships.

G - Cadeau, Trimble

G - Davis, Wilcher, Dunn

F - Jackson, Timberlake

F - Washington, High

C - Bacot, Shaver

It pains me to say it because I love the kid but he needs to go. He's not improving here and we're not improving as a team with him taking the lion's share of the shots. He needs a coach to help him with shot selection and decision making in general, not a constant green light. And as a team we need to move the ball and having two shoot first, shoot second, pass as a last resort guards playing nearly all the guard minutes just isn't working.

Hope Miami makes it to the final four.  If they can survive Houston, they have a very good shot.

They look pretty good so far, but still got another half to go.   

If I had to pick a team to win it this year at this point, might be UConn.  They might be the hottest team in the country.

Miami has the guards…no doubt there.  If someone takes out Alabama this tournament is completely wide open.  So many upsets.  Right now it is very hard to pick against the Tide.  They are clearly the best left.

Gonzaga is still here and the ways they have been denied in the past I wouldn’t put it past them winning it

Puff Johnson hits the portal from UNC. It's a mass exodus. I'm not surprised. If you don't play guys they're gonna transfer. Hubert better hope he can get some of these '24 recruits to reclassify or he's gonna get himself fired next year.

Yeah, we can’t blame these guys for moving on.  Ian Jackson confirmed his commitment which honestly surprised me.  Hubert will have a short bench next season as things look today and IMO this is a huge season for him as coach.

I don’t see either of these bigtime commits reclassifing so he needs to get some transfers

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
