Hes recrutied the same 4 and 5 stars but they havent played as well and no Hansboroughs or Lawsons

You gotta be fucking kidding me. What a dumb, dumb, DUMB foul by Bullock.

EDIT: OK, tat might've been a flop. And Thornton answers with an equally dumb foul.

Fouling away from the ball

[Rodgers]

the flopping is a major reason for the drastic decline in scoring.... im not sure why the media and coaches arent going crazy over it... the college refs love callin the charge. a six five guy can guard the rim in college... also the block charge line has turned out to be horrible for college cause anything outside the line is now considered a charge...76% of block/charge situations outside the line were called charges in one study last year

UnC frontcourt is terrible and soft.....thats the biggest thing holding them back


I like the hairiston dude from unc...his competitive nature is impressive

Cody Zeller will be much more than serviceable, he can be a 20+/10/2 guy. He reminds me of Laetter but taller. People hate on Christian but homie was a solid NBA player in an era that didn't use players like him to the max of their abilities.

Plumlee can be a good NBA center. Comparison, I don't know. None of those Plumlee's play like centers I know. He kinda has an Antonio Davis quality about him, not making the comparison just saying they have some similarities.

they had 4 top 20 picks last year and could of given us a challlenge last year with marshall... and they are a Macadoo comin back or wiggins goin there from contending again next year

Roy does over-recruit and will hold a guy back for his own benefit not the players.. that would be my major concern as a unc fan

McAdoo is not that impressive. I can see why teams like him, crazy good athlete and skilled but he is soft as heck, doesn't have great range, and isn't that smart. Thankfully the NBA is more forgiven for that. Bullock is a player I like a lot. Plays like Wesley Parsons.

you're right. idk who most these ****** are. mcadoo is soft as doo doo.

but without the calipari machine and kentucky brand, whose to say roy doesn't go after more of these recruits. roy doesnt seem like the type who likes to get dirty in recruiting.

My man Dexter had that ACL injury and that derailed him, I seen him becoming a 1st rounder but that injury killed him. I hope he can become more of a defensive specialist and find a role in the NBA as a role player.

i am impressed with the job coach k has done the last 2 years, and give credit for Plumlee getting so much better.. That said if they are in a tournament game with tight whistles Plumlee will be gone quick... he fouls a lot

I haven't seen a Duke player improve so much since Boozer. While he was the best athlete of his brothers, he wasn't that good at Basketball when he came into Duke. Now he is a pretty good player. I think homie could be an All Star once in his NBA career. I would seriously think about drafting him in the lottery. He's a NBA ready center and has potential. You can't pass on that. He's not really special at anything but he's good and a center.
