Oh shit I forgot he was at Syracuse, he was the one talking so much trash last year?

3/26/2025 7:48:30 PM

Yup that’s him

3/26/2025 8:14:46 PM

I’m thinking we add Copeland and Sincere Parker, those are probably the only 2 guys worth bringing over

3/26/2025 8:58:27 PM

Copeland is a walking turnover who can't shoot

3/26/2025 9:08:04 PM

Copeland averaged 4.5 assists per game to go along with the 2.8 turnovers. I'd take him in a heart beat as an upgrade to Hill for sure. He's just as good or better at getting to the rim, and is big enough to not get bullied once he gets there. He kind of reminds me of a less bouncy Darreon Seabron but Copeland is better at getting the ball to open teammates. Would you rather he could shoot the 3 even just a little? Sure, but you can't have everything.

3/26/2025 9:31:56 PM

He is decidedly not an upgrade from Hill. He is a much worse 3 point shooter who scores less, was a high turnover rate player at syracuse who somehow got worse by moving down to mcneese. Literally the only thing he does better is assists, which is offset by his 3 turnovers a game, compared to 1 for Hill. Despite being 5-6 inches taller than Hill he's a worse rebounder. Oh also he's a bad free throw shooter.

Going further, he's gotten progressively worse at turnovers in his career. His turnovers/40 have increased significantly every year from 2.8 to 3.6 to 5.1 this past season. He led his conference in turnovers with 97 (that's bad)

So yeah i dont want a guy who cant shoot AND turns the ball over a ton. We already have a guard who turns the ball over too much but he can at least shoot. Now I'm just imagining Copeland and Parker playing together and just seeing who can give the ball away fastest. Ugh.

3/26/2025 9:50:30 PM

Neither one of them has any business shooting 3's. Copeland is a big PG who can't shoot and turns it over a bit, Hill is an undersized SG who can't shoot and can't create for others. Copeland wouldn't be a bad pickup as someone to compete with Parker (or whoever) as a backup PG. No one he's bringing from McNeese is getting more than 10-15 mins a game at most, it just wouldn't hurt to have a couple of dudes already familiar with his system, especially his PG.

Bobby Hurley and Chris Corchiani were top 5 in turnovers for the ACC most years they played.

You've been listening to too many Keatts pressers. This was one of his issues. He over focused on avoiding turnovers to the detriment of actually moving the ball around and getting baskets. You can't just point at the turnovers and ignore how often the player has the ball in their hands and is responsible for creating offense. If a center that never had any assists lead the conference in turnovers, then yeah, that'd be bad. But Copeland isn't that, he has a ton of touches and creates a ton of offense.

Not saying the dude is ACC world beater level, but to dismiss him because he lead the league in turnovers and completely ignore the fact he was #3 in assists is silliness.

3/26/2025 11:43:22 PM

You putting Copeland beside Chris Corchiani?

3/27/2025 7:30:08 AM

CHRIS CORCHIANI IS FIRST TURNOVER!

3/27/2025 7:49:47 AM

Silas Demary gonna be our PG? He's from Raleigh and we were in his top 2 or 3 out of HS (he committed to UGA).

Diouf gone

4/2/2025 9:54:57 PM

[old]

edit: I'm seeing that was just announced, but I thought (and posted) that it was announced a week or so ago

[Edited on April 3, 2025 at 10:11 AM. Reason : ]

Yeah I think it was rumored that he was gonna enter portal. And I guess just now actually did enter

4/3/2025 1:01:28 PM

I found a PI (!!!!) where the author said he was retracting bc Diouf said he wasn't sure yet what he was doing. Guess he became sure.

4/3/2025 1:20:26 PM

Do we still have Zymicah Wilkins?

4/3/2025 2:06:35 PM

Alyn Breed commits!
McNeese Transfer. Formerly a Friar. Played only 2 games at McNeese due to injury. Averaged over 17ppg in those two.

Tyler Harris has a silent commitment.
Washington Huskie Transfer- 6'8" hybrid guard/wing that shot nearly 50% from 3 last year.

Quadir Copeland officially in the portal, should be following Wade to NC State, won't know about his commitment till after his visit.

4/3/2025 2:09:42 PM

Harris sounds like a pretty big get (if we actually get him)

4/3/2025 2:23:14 PM

He's the one I've got the most excited over so far.

Long and athletic guard hybrid who can create his own shot and hit nearly 50% of 3's (90+ attempts)

Would fill that role Scott Wood had a few years of a knock down shooter and elite defender.

Really like his potential.
Supposedly he/his people called up in the middle of the night wanting a visit and we stuck him on a plane the next day.

Best part is, he won't need a ton of NIL, gives us room for some other big names.

____

I don't mind the breed pickup if he's healthy. He's 23...mature and has a lot of turmoil that has shaped him to be a, from all accounts, good leader and teammate.

Harris highlights got them Courtney Fells vibes. Do want.

4/3/2025 2:48:06 PM

I will never ever forget Fells going up to block a dude's shot and palming it in the guys hand and taking it away.

One of the most unbelievable athletic plays i've ever seen. If he could have been any bit consistent, he would have been one of the greats.

4/3/2025 3:16:30 PM

It's funny you've got this unreported news but you're also way behind on the public news

Why would this skillset not command a high NIL price tag?

Fells had some great moments. That block vs Duke was insane. I think he had an insane shooting game vs UNC too.

tyler harris? is this 2011?
