Should we be throwing stones about Head Coach fitness levels?

Heels are out. Flawed roster. One scorer. Hubie has not figured out half-court offense that doesn’t rely on individual “moves” with the ball when clock is under 5 secs. They are very easy to defend. These are bad teams in the ACC as well. Simply not their year. NIL can flip the script quickly...

Appreciate the insight. I don't mind hearing this at all-its reality. Encouraging that we are in the conversations, but not compromising the budget or locker room when things get out of hand in negotiations. Baked into that is very good use of funds for retention-which doesn't get the headlines...

My preference is for our guys-MM, Staley, Boo, etc to grow up (like Hyatt) and ball-out. Let’s use NIL to retain and develop but that’s just my opinion. But I get the excitement about “splash” players, so I’ll play along (even tho our splash imports haven’t exactly set the world on fire). So we...

Good pull. Both were complete busts.

JJ Peterson?

Would be interesting to know what the difference is between NIL rates and pre-NIL (under the table) rates for different players? No idea who’s going to have that info or willing to go on record with it. For example, is the rate for a top tier OT now 2-3X what it was pre-NIL (making that number...

Not unless his stats improve dramatically. If his stats improve (Mahomes was throwing 35-40tds per year), then yes, he’s gone to the league. Would love to see it. I think equally likely, his stats don’t improve, he blames it on the offense and transfers to a place where he can light it up...

Great question. It’s a media-driven narrative and was something we heard when Hyatt and Tillman were coming out, but it was reported that the route tree and offense in general was….different. Not NFL conducive. Neither one of the them has lit it up in the league (Tillman has had some moments...

lol nothing? 8 final fours and 3 nattys since Dean Smith retired. Humiliated K on a national stage and almost won 2 yrs ago. Would love to have those “nothing” banners hanging in our supermarket-branded arena. But agree, heels football is bad. However, no one really cares about that over...

Biggest question for me is center. Really have no good tape to assess Satterwhite or Anderson. Is Moe RG? Keep hearing good things about Perry. Obviously Sanders will play. Campbell struggled all year. I think the right side will be better. As for the left side, if you buy into PFF (I take with...

Kitselman was open most of the game. They would have been short gains but Nico never looked his way. It was driving me crazy because he kept trying to force it into coverage. Take what the defense gives you! Nico has phenomenal arm talent and is a tremendous competitor. But his pre-snap and...

Very true. Sounds like they may have added one today though….internally.

I’m gonna interpret Jalen Smith and Perry walking with orange colored glasses and assume they really like what they see in Spillman. Man, that’s a thin room though.

Yep. I get it and could not agree more. My post was simply a reaction to the situation at hand and the arms race all around us. But your point about sustainability is correct IMO. I don't see the endgame. Does this eventually become a steady-state?
