Stole him from Pitt. Pitt will be mediocre. Might steal one against Wake or something.NC State picked up a late commitment from Maverick Rowan, a SG/SF who was a top 30 recruit for 2016 and reclassified to 2015.
Gott added a few late pieces that could really help this year.
Not usually a problem as far as 2 goes, as that's decided for me when the media wildly overrates UNC every single season. This season, I can only assume ESPN etc. will have them as projected to run the table2 sports truisms...
1. Your team is not as good as you think it is.
2. Your rival is not as bad as you think it is.
How much longer does Gregory get?Black dot or star or whatever
Ga tech will still suck next year
I can of course understand that comment but that's mostly (or exclusively) because Krzyzewski didn't play him enough (until the very end, and thank goodness for that). You'll find other outbursts from him as well when granted PT.Wow, they're high on Allen. I'll believe it when I see it. That NC game was more of an anomaly when you look at the full body of work from last year IMO.
Even in the NC game, he looked a little out of control with some of his shots being lucky rather than fluid. Announcers always speak of his athleticism but I didn't see it. He appeared to be one of those white guys that looks great in a dunk contest but whose athleticism doesn't translate well into game action.I can of course understand that comment but that's mostly (or exclusively) because Krzyzewski didn't play him enough (until the very end, and thank goodness for that).

there was nothing exceptionally athletic about what he did in that game. he's not a high flyer nor is he particularly quick so i never understand where he get's this reputation as a great athlete.I imagine Wisconsin thought it translated pretty well into game action when he singlehandedly brought Duke back.Even in the NC game, he looked a little out of control with some of his shots being lucky rather than fluid.

Don't get me wrong. I'd love to see him earn a 2nd team spot. They really lack a veteran scorer this year like they had in Cook that can step up and carry the team offensively when the freshmen are struggling. Everyone older than Allen is more of a role player.Gotcha!there was nothing exceptionally athletic about what he did in that game. he's not a high flyer nor is he particularly quick so i never understand where he get's this reputation as a great athlete.I imagine Wisconsin thought it translated pretty well into game action when he singlehandedly brought Duke back.Even in the NC game, he looked a little out of control with some of his shots being lucky rather than fluid.

Notre Dame seems pretty overrated here. They lost their best two players in Grant and Connaughton. What am I missing?pre-season media poll is out.

They haven't played each other as ranked teams for 76 years according to teh twitter.Asking this here because let's be honest, nobody will see it in the college football thread ...
Is next weekend the biggest UNC-Duke football game in the history of the rivalry? I'm no historian, just curious if there's ever been one like this.
I don't know the rivalry enough to answer that but it has to be UNC's biggest game since Mack Brown lost in Charlottesville 20-17 blowing a two touchdown fourth quarter lead. A Carolina win almost wraps up the Coastal division for them. I think they will go 11-1 and lose to Clemson in the ACCCG and still end up in a pretty sweet bowl game.Asking this here because let's be honest, nobody will see it in the college football thread ...

There's a tournament just before Thanksgiving that now has some lose-able games without Paige (Northwestern the first day and either K State or Missouri the second day). That's about it. Bigger bummer is he could miss what would have been the non-conference game of the year on December 1 at home vs Maryland. Even if he's back he would have just returned to the court.any big games for UNC in November?
Open against Temple in Annapolis. Not sure how good Temple is supposed to be, but that could be a bit trickier now.any big games for UNC in November?
He didn't get a lot of playing time during the regular season, but there were moments later in the season where he absolutely showed athleticism. One particular instance was when he ran down the court, came out of nowhere and blocked a shot on a fast break. He seemingly jumped out of the gym on that play. I remember rewinding it a few times. I was wanting him to get more pt during the whole season, as I was a big fan of his HS tape. His breakout game in the NC game was awesome for me and my family, as we all are fans of his.there was nothing exceptionally athletic about what he did in that game. he's not a high flyer nor is he particularly quick so i never understand where he get's this reputation as a great athlete.I imagine Wisconsin thought it translated pretty well into game action when he singlehandedly brought Duke back.Even in the NC game, he looked a little out of control with some of his shots being lucky rather than fluid.

Smith signed his LOI and will enroll at State in January. This will allow him to rehab his knee under supervision of State's medical staff and will allow him to use State's facilities. He will also be able to watch practice, which should help him to be better prepared next fall.
I'm guessing Giles does the same thing at duke.Smith signed his LOI and will enroll at State in January. This will allow him to rehab his knee under supervision of State's medical staff and will allow him to use State's facilities.
