^^that sounds like 1-1-1 we play when there aren't enough people at the gym

Good Lord, Pack Pride is the worst.There's so much hatred for our players on there, no idea why those guys even watch the games.________With that said, I like the hire more today than I did when it was leaked he was on campus.I do worry about his rebounding/defense but that is with an undersized UNCW team.I watched a few games of his this year, they really like spreading the floor.I think his offense will be a HUGE help for Yurt7, everyone expected him to be able to bang with the big boys as a freshmen...assuming he is back, he should have a great year. Abu tooThe real first impression we will get of KK is this years recruiting class he pulls in.
3/20/2017 12:39:42 PM
i think the first thing is seeing how many guys he gets to stick around.
3/20/2017 12:40:57 PM
Henderson applied for his 6th year so he definitely will stick around if it's granted.Abu will be back, he isn't NBA ready.Johnson staysYurt7 should stayFreeman will be backDorn should thrive under this systemHicks likely staysKirk likely staysKapita and Mav are the only two I would question. Mav is slow and doesn't really fit in with this system other than 3 shooting but Kapita's athleticism and grit should thrive with KK____Thomas Allen is already signedDe'Von Cooper may be another 3 star(4 on scout) target from KY area...42nd ranked and has size. Got an offer while KK was at UNCW[Edited on March 20, 2017 at 12:53 PM. Reason : f]

^Is Cooper a SG? Can he play point?I think we are in good hands with Markell, but it's nice to have a good backup. I think most of the guys will stay, but I can't see everyone that's able (other than DSJ for obvious reasons) will. But that's probably my pessimism shining through after the Gott years.
3/20/2017 12:56:34 PM
I thought there were rumors that Johnson was homesick and considering transferring... before Gott's firing was announced. Seems like if he was already considering leaving before a new coach was announcded, that may just be another reason to leave..... but that's just speculation.I'll be happy if he can convince him to stay, because if he can't, we're going to be kinda screwed without anyone who can run the point.
3/20/2017 1:00:18 PM
Listed as a SG at 6'4" could play the point a lot like DornHe is on KY radar and UL as an in state pickup. 5th ranked guy in the state.Prep school guy

^^I never listen to DG and never will. He caters to the UNC crowd so much, even his guests are dickholes.I encourage everyone to boycott his showAs far as tampering, not really...we didn't have a coach and it would be really hard to prove...but it could be possible. If it is the case I really hope DY pushes it to the max.
3/20/2017 1:33:00 PM
Most schools offer to let a player out of their LOI with a coaching change, I think. But I also think it is indeed tampering if they contact the player before he is released.
3/20/2017 1:33:27 PM
JT3, I want to know how you can sound like the dumbest guy on the board during the season and when the coaching search started, but over the last couple of weeks you have been one of the knowledgeable voices of reason. Hostile takeover of your account?

has anyone used the word "cancer"?It seems like you nailed all the rumors and speculation around the team. People not gelling with DSJr, no leader in the locker room, Henderson apparently telling early to shut up, and anya having team-internal issues.

3/20/2017 2:33:00 PM
No I just thought that one comment regarding Archie and Sean Miller was.I've actually been listening to the entire conversation. He omitted a ton of good things said about the hire from various media sources and only posted this. This is what he does.[Edited on March 20, 2017 at 2:34 PM. Reason : .]

Yeah but Purvis was over hyped and under performed. Gottfried really didn't care what happened with him after he did poorly that season. Don't think Purvis gelled well with Gottfried at all once he got on campus.Gottfried rarely did much in practice in terms of the team and development, most of the time he was recruiting or out and about. His on tape a few times saying he had not seen his team practice all week. His motto according to some previous players was "best scorer plays" and would recruit new guys to take people's places if he wasn't happy with how they did...Lacey, Henderson, Dorn, etc[Edited on March 20, 2017 at 2:53 PM.

3/20/2017 2:46:50 PM
Yeah but Purvis Yurt was over hyped and under performed
3/20/2017 2:51:05 PM
^he also saw less and less playing time as the year progressed. Yurt7 was supposed to be a banger and down low post presence in Gott's system but Yurt in reality is a stretch 5. Didn't fit.
3/20/2017 2:54:13 PM
Someone convinced Purvis he needed to play PG to make the NBA and he wasn't cut out to play PG. He was good at the 2 but relied a LOT on his athleticism. He never really developed his game, even at UConn he wasn't a ton better than at NC State. Gott even tried to make him our back-up PG and he was AWFUL. Felt like he checked out mentally from our team one he realized he was never going to get any run at PG. My biggest problem was that he treated it like we were playing AAU ball and he just wanted to have the most talented team but not the best actual team. Our pieces never quite fit together and often our offense looked like a bunch of dudes at the Y on a Sunday where you had 1 good player who dominated the ball and 4 dudes who deferred to him for the most part. We played entirely too much iso ball to consistently win in the ACC, wasting guys like TJ Warren, Cat Barber, Trevor Lacey, and DSJ. Plus our defense wasn't any better than those same 5 dudes at the Y.
3/20/2017 3:04:09 PM
That's a valid assessment.
3/20/2017 3:07:26 PM
^^agree.Purvis wasn't awful but he was recruited as a SG but then he all of a sudden wanted to play PG over two Lorenzo Brown and also a McDonald's All American in Lewis with Cat on the pipeline. We had him 3rd in the PG rotation and he sucked ass. Remember people saying that his mom was like writing/calling to bitch at Gott for not playing him at point? Then he left for UConn and did a lot to dissuade other recruits of ours from coming. Fuck that guy. He may have technically been on UConn's team when they won a natty, but he didn't win a natty and I hope deep down he knows that. #saltyGood point about Kapita and whatever his international status, etc. is. That probably does make it trickier. Plus he seems like he just wants enough exposure to get paid somewhere and adding a transfer year wouldn't really behoove him.[Edited on March 20, 2017 at 3:15 PM. Reason : correction. Zo was not a MCDAA]
3/20/2017 3:13:28 PM
^Don't forget that Ollie was accused of tampering with Purvis as well.
3/20/2017 3:16:11 PM
Slacking? On my credibility watch?
3/20/2017 3:20:25 PM
As far as the David Glenn comments, I've made it clear in the past that the dude sucks bigtime. You cannot find a comfortable volume to listen to the guy in your car. He is ear-piercing and really terrible. He's also balding and says horrible bro-ish inane bullshit constantly.

3/20/2017 4:03:04 PM
Lol how did Kapita under perform? he barely got any minutes and when he did he was impactful.
3/20/2017 4:11:21 PM
I hope we get 3 more years from Kapita. But based on 1 or 2 games, some people want to act like he's a future HOFer, ignoring how lost he would often look on the court.
3/20/2017 4:13:32 PM
nah not saying all that. just that I'd be pissed too if I flew in from the damn Congo to ride the pine behind Rowan (who I haven't totally given up on either). I just want to see what Keatts can do to develop guys that we're familiar with.
