We do have a first round pick this year (as it stands) so I'm making a thread to discuss players that you guys watch that might be of help to this team.

I don't get into college basketball that much until conference play picks up.

Noone knows what our team make-up will be by the end of this year, but I can almost guarantee you that Center will be a need. But this year there doesn't seem to be a stand out Center.

We could also go for a Point Guard, which for me, is the most important player on the court. Kyrie Irving and Kemba Walker seem to be the head of the class when it comes to that position.

Who knows, we might just have to go with the best available.

Please post you thoughts on these prospects throughout the college basketball season.

Jared Sullinger is a Beast but if Kyrie Irving is on the board we can't pass him up.

I love Sullinger's game. He killed my Gators. I'm just concerned if he's big enough. He almost reminds of a DeJuan Blair where he has a center's game in a PF body.

That's crazy that Selby hit the go ahead 3 yesterday vs. USC in his Kansas debut.

Also, I'm a fan of JaJuan Johnson of Purdue. He's a PF/C and has a decent mid range shot. The only downside is, I believe he's a senior and people always bring up potential with seniors.

      Panthers run ONE play on repeat

      By rayzor · Posted

      agreed. reich and fox were kind of similar in that i think their comfort zone with QBs were established vets.  any rookie QB would have been outside that. i do think that he might have been more comfortable with stroud than young, but i also still think that we would have been stuck in a bad place. there was more than went wrong than with the QB. nothing worked and QB issues were one of many symptoms of the problem that we found ourselves in with reich. the whole thing was too much for him. not only did he get a QB outside of his comfort zone, he got unfamiliar assistants that came from unfamiliar schemes. he had no prior relationship with most coaches he had added to his staff.  again, that staff was tepper's idea...get the dream staff with a billion years of experience and those who don't have a poo ton of experience were coaches that were considered up and comers for HC jobs.  reich is a mild-mannered passive likeable kind of guy. he wasn't the big dominant personality that would be needed to handle that staff.

      Panthers ranked as NFL's 2nd-worst roster

      I can't blame anyone in sports media for not believing we've made a big enough jump talent wise to compete. I mean let's be realistic. In the eyes of many of us here we were improved on paper under Scott Fitterer each offseason the last few years. Just because we're once again buying in doesn't mean the rest of the sports world will also. Then you go back to preseason last year and the downplaying of how horrific we looked not just offensively but as a whole. If we look competent in preseason  I will begin to feel some level of confidence about the direction of the team and so will those in the sports world. Until then nothing we've done matters.

      Seattle was a run heavy team

      By Jackie Lee · Posted

      Yeah we don't have a beast mode, and Bryce doesn't threaten with the play action/scramble deep shots. That's the majority of the reason that formula worked in Seattle during that stretch. I hope Brooks is a good back, but he's definitely not a beast mode type.
