Good points. I have similar concerns with his ability to finish at the rim in the ACC. On the other hand, his skill set will create opportunities for others, especially if teams opt not to switch on PNR.
Maybe, maybe not. It’s a good thing the season doesn’t start for another 6 months.
Hopefully, unlike Judah, he will have more options to pass to, including a 5 who can post up.
Agree and that's why I was disappointed not to get Dakota. I thought he and Carlos had differing skill sets that would complement each other.
Carolina gets another shooter!
this guy abused Judah this year, Judah played matador defense
It would’ve been really cool to get a dead eye shooter with deep range but it seems Red doesn’t like those types of players. He seems to prefer guards that can’t shoot.
Ridiculous post.
Well, we do, if only by default.
What on earth are you talking about? Leffew and Reynolds were our top targets. Your agenda is showing.
We should prolly let him get more than one recruiting class under his belt before we engrave his tendencies in stone.
He’s brought in several guards, none of which have classified as strong shooters. Moore is a step in the right direction but he committed during JB’s era so I give Red only partial credit. I really want to see him bring in a shooter. No point in running a 3 guard offense if none of the guards are consistent deep threats. Need to be able to stretch the defense on the perimeter.
Maybe we’re talking about different things. Red has been HC for just one year. He brought in Carlos, and we don’t know how he will perform as a shooter yet. Anyone else has been with JB making the ultimate calls, no? We’ve been seeing posts recently about how JB vetoed various recruits over the years, so I’m suggesting we haven’t seen enough of the recruiting resume of Red yet, to make conclusions about what he prefers. I also think it’s ludicrous to suggest he literally prefers non-shooters, but I chalked that up to sardonic sports banter. : )
The current roster is 95% Red. That’s a big enough sample. JJ isn’t a great shooter. Neither is Cuffe. Westry was not known as a shooter. Carlos is an average shooter. Q and JT weren’t good shooters. Neither was Judah. Currently Bell and possibly Moore are the only deep threats we have on the team. There’s hope Freeman can shoot, but it’s a bit of an unknown. I want a Buddy, Rautins, GMac, Shumpert even Joe type guy on the team.
We don’t disagree about what we want. I’m just surprised you seem to be insisting that Autry had complete control over who was recruited/signed when he was an assistant. I include JJ in that category.
It was hard to tell who the point guard was for UCONN because the ball was always moving.
