Lol

 

[OrangeXtreme]

Can’t be. The guy on Twitter said he was transferring to an SEC school.

 

[OrangeXtreme]

 

[OttoinGrotto]

Literally forever?

I honestly can't believe it. We can't get guys to stay but UNC has guys come back year after year.

Exactly. Nova and UNC gets guys to return on the regular. The minute one of ours has a decent tournament or season run, they’re OUT! Sucks.

Freaking ridiculous

And we just got a Nova kid and he bolts. I really wanted Cole to come back.

 

[Jasoncuse]

Good for him.

Hate how he destroys us, but he's pretty fun to watch attack (against every other team).

He has a non-zero shot at finishing as the NCAA all-time rebounding leader, though unlikely because of the lost COVID games. He very well could pass DC for 3rd, though.

Kid is going to get a double-double every game next year. Absolute beast. Love watching him play

 

[Cusefan0307]

At least that’s a position of strength for us.

UNC’s got a great culture

Davis has those kids bought in and you can tell he connects really well.

 

[Orangefan1]

This is how NIL could work in our favor and we haven’t figured out how to use it to our advantage yet why are we behind the times!!!!

Aside from Duke and Kentucky, I think returning talents a reliable barometer for program health. UNC, Kansas, Nova etc are top notch.

 

[Madbiker]

What's wrong with this guy?
If played for us he would have left 2 years ago. They must pay well at UNC.

 

[DoctahLexus]

So I assume he is not considered a prominent NBA prospect right? Plenty of NBA ready UNC guys bounce when they are able to. Not sure his game translates outside of being a bruiser back up center.

Well, KU and UNC at least have a much higher salary cap than we do.

Projected 2nd round pick.

The excuses about other programs paying kids are so lame on so many levels

Who is “we”?

 

[Goin' Deep]

Once Cole announced, thus taking Bacot's spot in round 2, there was no other option.
The writing was on the wall....

well I mean it is legal now (via NIL "protocol") - I've seen at least a couple of national pundits speculate that it was NIL that is allowing unc to keep Bacot
