Who said anything about basketball being more popular than football?

 

Of course football is more popular. My point was basketball is not going anywhere even if it declines. The NBA is the most popular basketball league. Honestly college basketball has been in decline for the last decade.

 

I remember growing up we use to have college basketball parties for the UNC/Duke games. The trash talk during and after the games were fun. Then we would go to school and talk about it with the teachers. Those were the days.

 

I honestly don't even watch much of the regular season anymore. I tune in during March Madness.

ACC might make it thru the conference shuffling that is on the horizon but not a good sign when UNC, UVA, dook, and Miami have been vetted and appear to be targets of the B10

I still watch it even though it has been in decline the past decade. I just don't watch it like I did back in the early 2000's. Back then you could argue it was just as popular as the NBA.

 

College baseball exists and yes they still have diehards who still watch it even though most of the country doesn't. 

 

Im not debating your point that college basketball is declining. Im just stating that it will still exist. I don't think it will ever get to the college baseball level of decline though.lol

Watch a game on the ACC Network which is a LOT of games these days. Used to be practically every UNC and duke game was nationally televised on a major network. Look at the quality of the advertisers. It's says everything. It's late night TV infomercial level bullshit being advertised. Viewership numbers must be absolutely AWFUL if that's the level of advertisers you can attract. It's an absolutely awful look.

Certainly feels like college basketball is currently trending to end up somewhere a lot closer to college baseball than college football.

In theory your cap per year idea would make sense but the policing of it would be practically impossible given the sheer number of schools and players.

If you make any infraction a huge penalty you would hope most universities would play by the rules

If the likelihood of getting caught is practically zero it doesn't really matter. The likelihood of getting caught would be practically zero. You'd need an IRS audit to prove your case.

A 4 star recruit who can’t shoot suddenly finds himself on the outside looking in after being recruited over and tougher competition to get in the starting lineup. If he is afraid to compete against Withers, Trimble, Ryan and that recruit from the Ivy League then so long pal. Not to mention he is probably gonna get a bag from a St Johns donor and not have to pass the ball next season. 
 

of course, the bigger story here is that this is a late transaction that can be promoted negatively against UNC and that moves the needle. If this were to happen at VaTech, Clempson, NC$T, or St Johns nobody would care or probably even notice. 
 

wish the kid the best but thank you for giving back the scholly. 

You are wearing some serious Tarheel shades thinking losing this guy is no big deal.  It is.  I am still extremely worried about Hubert Davis as a coach and if this team misses another NCAA tournament changes are going to need to happen.

Lets look at this…since Hubert Davis has been here he has the preseason #1 team who didn’t play in the postseason.  The NIT would have been a perfect opportunity to get these young guys on the bench mins.  He declined that.  He has lost the #2 and #14 recruits very late to decommitments in the last 2 cycles.  6 or 7 young players opted for the portal to get out of UNC.  None of the things are happening at Kansas or Kentucky or any top school.

If these things don’t concern you than you are not being realistic

Um excuse me Casual, but look at the roster turnover at Kentucky and Kansas since the season ended. Look at the roster turnover everywhere. That is the game now. Dudes ain’t gonna sit on the bench when they can go elsewhere and play non stop and probably get paid to do so. 
 

GG Jackson decommited from UNC, and that was a disaster for him. He also looked very immature and disgruntled as their season ended. 
 

Wilcher decommited because it looks like he is going to be on the bench and is scared of not playing and hurting his NBA stick. Go to St. John’s and be the ball hog and do whatever he wants.

You sound crazy when this dude was just in the Nat'l championship just a year ago.

 

Seems like you just want him on the hotseat. You give the man 2 years and think he can build a blueblood overnight?

 

It was a bad look to completely miss the tournament with that team.  When was the last time UNC missed it?  Matt Doherty?? I think he will be good in the long run, but taking that team to the finals the previous year raised fans expectations too high.

Wilcher thinks he is a OAD player and doesn't want to come off the bench at all. He was expecting to go to UNC and start immediately and have the ability to show he is an OAD player. With RJ coming back and the Cadeau reclassification, he knows he isn't starting and decided to leave because of that.

So what about taking a team to a Nat'l championship his 1st year as HC?

 

We can't ignore his 1st year, then try to judge him his 2nd year.

Definitely a fair point, but he took that same roster and underachieved pretty bad by UNC standards. I mentioned his championship year. It kind of gave the fans too high of expectations… They are doing right by him and keeping him around. I think he will have them bounce back this year.

    • As far as elite/elevate talent QB’s It’s Allen Mahomes Jackson and Burrow that’s it.  Then we have tiers and those can be debated all day Dak is a good QB but I know this board would want him out of Charlotte if he was the QB here. 2 playoff wins in 10 years. Justin Herbert no playoff wins. Threw 4 interceptions in last years playoff game. 23 TD passes last year. 20 the year below and 25 the year before that. This board loves stats without context and these stats aren’t saying they’re much above complimentary  Kyler Murray isn’t good. I’m not sure how he made this list.  Caleb Williams, Trevor Lawrence both benefiting from some real good offensive coaches right now. They’re both complimentary pieces until proven otherwise  I like Jordan Love. Always have. I wanted to draft him but he isn’t a superstar.  CJ Stroud hasn’t been much better than Bryce after his rookie season. After that Bears game year 2 his numbers very similar to Bryce I will say I think Drake Maye is well on his way to becoming the next top tier QB if I had to pick one from this entire list. I’d also say Baker Mayfield is a damn good QB and I’d take him over most of those guys not in the elite category  Now if you want to debate tools and which QB’s possess tools to put them in higher tiers that’s a completely different discussion. Most QB’s on your main list all have those physical tools that will keep you thinking he’ll become the next top tier QB. They’ll sprinkle in a “wow” play or two a game. Bryce will never look that way. Young’s game at its peak will physically always look different and I think that’s where most people struggle when it comes to seeing how Young’s can be successful in the league  All QB’s need a team around them. I think the Bills are failing Josh Allen much like the Panthers did Cam. Beane and McDermott using same blueprint with Bills team. Josh Allen hasn’t had much in terms of WR’s and it’s ultimately costing them when it matters the most
