I remember a handful of you guys trying to put Hubert on the hot seat after last year.

 

Look at Hubert got this team as a #1 seed. Duke can get all the top recruits they want. One thing for sure the best HC in the state of North Carolina is Hubert MF'n Davis!

Hubert did an awful job last year. He's been MUCH better this year. I really think it was hard for him with Love and RJ. They're both great college players but they're not good running mates. It's tough with two shoot first guards who feel like they're competing for shots. When the shots are falling it can really work but when they aren't it's ugly. I just didn't like how he refused to develop or play a bench. That's been the big improvement this year. He's not running his starting five into the ground. Tired players aren't good players.

The roster wasn't that great last year and Caleb was a big reason why our offense couldn't function at a high level. I was the happiest guy when I saw he transferred to Arizona. The guy just takes wild shots. When he's hot he is great, but when he's off my goodness he kills the team.


We simply brought in smarter high IQ players this year. The biggest difference is RJ. I didn't think he had the ability to be one of the top scorers in the country. He's been a reliable scoring option.

 

As for Hubert is was never realistic for him to be on the hotseat. Sure he had a down year, but the man had us in the Nat'l championship game the year before in his 1st season! We got a damn good coach.

Hubert is one of my all-time favorite players. He and Pete Chilcutt are my earliest remembered favorite players. He just couldn't figure it out with RJ and Love. Hell, Roy couldn't either. Great players just not a good pairing on the same roster. 

I'll always love Caleb Love though. He or RJ one had to go but I'll always remember him for handling K his last two losses and carrying us to the title game. If we don't win it all this year I hope he does.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By strato · Posted

      I don’t think people are saying that picking up the option s a call for the pitchforks. We would have had to do things differently a couple of years back to make declining the option a valid move. We didn’t and here we are. People largely accept that. The patter it adheres to, reinforces the nausea we feel when the idea of an extension, and at top of the market no less, comes up.  One that he hasn’t shown he deserves.   Same as he did not deserve to be drafted 1.1. Look at Pavia and what really is the difference? Bryce is a nice guy and Pavia is an asshole lol. They are both no margin for error non day one talents. One went undrafted.

      We hate losing. I don't know Bryce to hate him. His play as a QB, I absolutely hate. It's just not good enough. If there were a lottery held to select the order and all 32 starting QBs could be drafted as the starting QB for whatever team selected them, how long do you think it would be before Bryce's name was called? Top 10, top 20, bottom 8? Think about it.  For me, having never seen back to back games with franchise QB level performance in 3 years tells me what I need to know. We still need to be looking for our solution at QB.

      Dude, I'm saying the Cardinals have proven they know nothing. Not saying keeping Bryce is the best choice long term, just saying that we've made the right move for this moment in time.  But man, the Cardinals are never a blueprint for success. Haven't been since they were in Chicago.
