Yea I don’t get that one AT ALL
What sucks about Josiah James is that he would have been a multi year guy. I think Moore will be a multi year guy also that’s if he comes, but at this rate I’m not holding my breath to it.Nope. I’m far from a one and done fan but it’s odd so many locks aren’t popping. Something is deff going on
Supposedly according to the Duke scout board, Cole Anthony had open gym a few hours away and no one from Duke even bothered to show up.
We’ll get a novel soon on why Anthony isn’t coming to duke, but I agree, something maybe going on behind the scenes that none of us know about.If he is really as good as billed, and if Duke really isn't pursuing him, there's obviously a good reason behind it. Maybe he has already told them he isn't coming to Duke no matter what, or there is some kind of baggage with him that we don't know about, or, they feel like he is already in the bag. Hard to say without being in on the conversations they've had with him, but if we really have backed off of him, I would trust that the staff has a very good reason.
I hope we finally get a sub-par recruiting class, everyone jabs at us about it, and that crowd ends up giving K # 6. LOL! or 7.

The amount of time spent recruiting him between now and then is pointless.

Again, if he goes to college.
Is this the new hangout now? Hello to all the the former TDD guys I know and lov, er know! Is ACChoopsfan still around?That’s the problem with UNC, if they have to rely on freshman, Roy is screwed. His teams aren’t good without multiple top 15 players sticking around for 3-4 years.

Just for the record, there was one top-15 upperclassmen in 2016. That was doubled in 2017, which I’m sure was the difference between winning 6 and winning 5. Incidentally Roy this decade hasn’t really been that much better at signing top 15 guys who become upperclassmen (K and Roy both have signed 4 such players). The difference there is Roy kept all 4 in Chapel Hill (Hicks, Jackson, Bullock, McAdoo) while K saw 3 transfer out.
But yes, to help out from the massive unfairness caused by all the wealth of experience UNC enjoyed while everyone choked on OADs, he did throw y’all a bone and get like a top 70 class a couple years back. 247 has it sandwiched between Creighton and Boston College.
The whole “experience” thing had more bite ten years ago when we were talking about awesome talent sticking around (the story at that time was Roy was seeking gifted flawed players the NBA didn’t want, Lawson was too short, Hansbrough too white, etc). When it’s borderline NBA players like Suilamon, or Kasey Hill or Hicks or any number of lower-echelon 5-stars, it doesn’t have the same pop. Mostly because recruiting rankings begin to breakdown after the top tier. It’s easier to spot a #1 then it is to tell the difference between a #15 and a #25. Roy wins with talent to be sure, but 2016-2017 wasn’t 2008-2009. Roy hasn’t gone all-in on OAD is a fair statement, but honestly no one has besides you all and Kentucky. The rest of us are just trying to muddle through in a world where over 40% of the top 5 players in the last 10 years have gone to one of those two schools.
The only place that I come for recruiting news is here. I google some stuff here and there but I don’t follow any “gurus” or anything like that. A while back when I heard we were recruiting Greg Anthony’s son to come to Duke I horse laughed out loud. His dad played for Vegas and for you yougins that weren’t around during the Duke/UNLV saga I get your ignorance but in my mind the day I heard that I was like “that shit ain’t happening”. Greg Anthony’s son to Duke?!? LMAO!
On a side note, I would love to be wrong though.
I hated Greg Anthony as a player, and even when he started working as an analyst on TV, it took a while before I would listen to a word that he said. However, if I had to guess, I think Greg is the reason that we’re still an option for Cole.
As you get older, you want the best for your son, and I think Greg knows there’s not a place that would give him more visibility; better coaching; and a better school for Cole. Think if K is still coaching then Cole ends up at Duke.

That makes total sense. I enjoy Greg’s commentary too. Just looking back, I wanted to fight young Greg during those years but I was a kid as well and like him I grew up. I think I could have taken Larry Johnson too...
Don’t agree. I’m not saying he ends up at Carolina, but there isn’t much to indicate Duke is a major player for him right now.
He’s not wrongWe wouldn't expect anything else from you over here....

Neither am I old buddy.....

Well in this case it was a matter of commenting on a recruit both schools are after. I don’t think K coaching another year is enough to automatically chalk up Anthony to Duke.
I really dont expect Anthony to come to Duke either. I just meant I wasn't surprised by a Tar Heel fan coming on the Duke board and reiterating it.Just fandom....
OFC
Nothing to do with fandom hart. I was responding to someone who said that Anthony would go to Duke as long as K was still there.
And I was implying that it looks like he will not attend Duke, and I expect more Tar Heel fans to jump on the Duke board in coming days.
In other words if it looked like he was leaning to Duke or a Duke lock I would expect UNC fans scarce as a nickel cigar....
OFC
Rubbing things in is not your style.Well I’m not on here to rub anything in hart, especially considering Anthony won’t even make a decision until next spring.
Rubbing things in is not your style.

I’m assuming by Cole latest tweet he is UNC bound
Compared to the rest of the internet Heels, he is preferable.He's pushed the envelope here plenty Denver....
