Well said. I can’t understand how HD couldn’t lock up a starting caliber big. Didn’t need to be a top 10, top 20, etc big but a competent C to rebound and alter shots. How he thought going into the season without a banded C/PF is mind boggling. Duplicated talent at 1-3 and zilch at 4/5. Awful team building. 

Options to sign a big have never been better.  To miss and sign Cade Tyson as your top guy reeks of lazy and incompetence.  Just IMHO

Cade was such a bad portal signing. I heard he got $600k….that could have went towards a legit big.

We've been trying to find another Brady Manek ever since. Hubert is obsessed with having a three point shooter at the 4 spot.

I gotta give Hubert Davis credit for one thing. He's achieved what I thought was impossible for me. He's made Tar Heel basketball unwatchable. I'm just over watching our opponents run actual offense while our offense is one guy dribbling the leather off the ball while everyone else just stands around and then we just have to jack up a bad shot at the end of the shot clock on the off chance that we don't turn it over in the meantime.

This has to be the end of Davis's run. I imagine they will give him the chance to step down at the end of the year. 

If he ever loved Carolina basketball he has to realize he ain't it. It just keeps getting worse. We look like an unorganized intramural team out there. No semblance of coaching or running an actual system. Just guys out there winging it the best they can.

Sounds like Davis got together with Charles Lee of the Hornets. The few Hornets games I watched earlier this season were similar. Is UNC just jacking up bad 3s? I ask because that's what Lee's "system" is.

When we don't turn it over, yes. We try pretty hard to just turn it over for uncontested breakaway dunks though and we're pretty good at it.

    • And that’s where a lot of people struggle to see it with Bryce Bryce is never physically going to “wow” anyone. Which will ultimately keep him out of that elite QB tier.  Burrow, Mahomes, Allen, Lamar, Maye, Stafford People want to put Herbert in that tier because he’s the ultimate highlight type QB. Highlights in this day and age trump just about everything. I’m more inclined to put Dak in that category than Herbert.  Then there’s the tier before the elite group. That’s where I believe Young’s ceiling is. Which is fine. You better have a good team and a good coach around these types though.  I believe Bryce has a higher ceiling than Goff. Put Young on Detroit and that team has a higher ceiling. Would also have a lower floor but you’d take that.  Bryce doesn’t have many true ‘wtf’ moments. He definitely did his rookie year. Granted the bulk of his “supporting cast” and HC are out of the league now and were well on their way out when the arrived here.  Due to lack of physical traits and what made Bryce good at Bama this NFL thing was and still is going to take time with him. He’s adjusting to NFL defenses.  So sure, we’re kind of in a pickle. Do we keep Bryce and have something like the 10th best QB in the league paired with Canales whose ceiling is probably similar at his position or do we keep doing what we’ve been doing since 2017? This team has been an absolute mess since Tepper took over. He’s finally seeing some wins. I’m all for spending a day 3 pick every year on a QB with traits. But for the time being Young is definitely our best option in 2026 and it would be tough to imagine us having a better option at this point in 2027 as well I know how much the huddle loves charts but this wasn’t happening his rookie year. This chart is 2 weeks old but point remains. It’s also why I said Dalton would be useless against Buffalo. Bryce has done a real good job at avoiding sacks this year and then making something happen. Bryce is fully capable of giving you those 4-5 big plays you need from a QB a game. Those 4-5 big plays just look a lot different than the 4-5 big highlight type plays you get from those physically gifted QB’s
    • 5 games without a turnover, the defense has surprised me a lot this year. Second to last in sacks, yet still getting the job done, impressive. 
    • Dave “Uncanny” Canales His choices are often inexplicable, but work absurdly well about half the time.
