Losing both Duke games might put Davis on the hot seat. The boosters will not be happy with that

His incoming recruits are the only thing keeping him off the hot seat. If next year is the same story he won't survive it.

If we hadn't had that miraculous tourney run last year he probably wouldn't see a third year.

Yeah. As we've said before, it's never a good thing to be the guy after the guy.

I honestly just want us to go one and done with the ACC tourney and get this season over with. Hubert isn't gonna get it figured out with this crew. Let's just let him get his guys in here and see what he can do with them. If it's the same story next year it's time to admit Hubert's Final Four run was a total fluke and move on. Final Four run included, Hubert will nearly match Doherty's loss total through two seasons.

I'm gonna add that the modern basketball offense is bullshit. There is a lot of ugly basketball being played. Everyone is trying to copy Golden State but it doesn't work unless you have Steph Curry and Klay Thompson. When you have two of the greatest shooters ever you can build your entire offense around just trying to setup threes. But when you don't you just get ugly basketball. There's no movement. Just ball screens without even any pick and roll. Taking turns playing one on one isolation ball. And jacking up threes. That's everyone's offense. I bitch about Hubert and UNC but then I watch other top teams and it's the same bullshit.

Very true. The thing Curry has done that is one of the worst things I've seen in the game is those way behind the line 3s. Since he showed he can do it whenever he wants, all the young guards have been trying to copy him and none of them are the shooter he is.

He's a phenomenal shooter. Best ever.

It feels like 20 years ago when Kevin Garnett burst on the scene and every young big man wanted to try to play on the perimeter. Like bro... you ain't KG. Get your ass down there in the paint.

They probably win their first game and if they do you are looking at Virginia and then either Clemson or NC State in the semis.  They have beaten both so not impossible but the way they are playing right now I am not super confident

It's been the same story for two years. This team can beat anyone in the country on any given night. They can also lose to anyone in the country on any given night. Do the bad shots this "offense" creates fall or not? Nothing changes except the shots falling or not.

      The Bryce Young "Game Winning Drive" narrative needs to end

      By Bear Hands · Posted

      The question I wonder involves putting the cost behind us.      At this point he's here, so does the premium paid even matter anymore? It set expectations no doubt, and they weren't met.  He's been bench-worthy bad, but he's come back and looked first average, above-average to maybe great, and then downright bad again.  Now we're back on a good trend again.  Absolute rollercoaster.   So what level of performance deems him a viable option to hold?  He's looked absolutely incapable of moving an offense at times, and others like a guy you can "Purdy" with some dimes sprinkled in.     So, if he continues on this 2 game trend and shows consistent average to above-average play, we're treading into tricky territory.  Such a big investment but he tops out as a top-15/20 QB option.  It's Alex Smith KC type vibes. Are we going to be sitting at 7-10 come end of season and feel kind of meh? It's right at that fringe of what is worth it.  If he doesn't re-sh*t the bed, we may be best suited to go BPA next draft and see the 2026 progression.  And that will be the final make/break year.  What I can see if he doesn't fall apart and things look manageable: He may end up being the average precursor to finding the great talent that you can build the team around.  How Alex Smith was in KC.  They built that with him (not around him) until they eventually got Mahomes.  Heck, think back to Trent Green/Warner.  So, BY can manage, we may get some success, but if a stud comes along, we bail and roll with the new gun.

      We win 2 games largely due to historic rushing from our backup RB we signed in free agency and now the huddle is regarded as the most toxic place on the internet because not everyone shares the same opinion that Bryce Young has proven himself to actually be a long term starting QB yet. This place was just as ugly through the prime Cam years. People complained about him even when he was producing and we were winning the division. Things were just as ugly through the Jake years. Sometimes people would get so irate and fed up with him they would literally be calling for his head. How about we just give eviscerating one another a breather and see how this team and Bryce look on the road. Nothing anyone can say is going to make a difference until then.
