Next year is going to be the first time ever I can't convince myself that we're going to be goodyes

Kadary/Benny/Buddy will be a decent trio... that’s about itNext year is going to be the first time ever I can't convince myself that we're going to be good

So you think 7 guys will leave after this season? Lolololololol. you’re nuts.In 2 years we literally could have none of the players or coaches from this years team except for Frank.
Assuming Buddy, Jimmy and JB ride out together after next year.
JG3 is not staying to be a 15 mpg player (he is my pick for leaving after this year).
Kadary will improve and with his age he leaves after next year.
Jesse and Jon move on and Marek and Sid are obviously gone.
Benny is one and done (ready or not)
Q and AG move on this year (one by choice and one by subtle request).
Woody leaves this year and Braswell is obviously gone.
Red and Griff and gmac obviously carry the stain of this program falling down a few notches and are not part of the new regime.
Total roster and staff overhaul in two years and frankly I'm ready for it.
It's going to come down to Frank being a serviceable center or picking up a transfer to start there.Kadary/Benny/Buddy will be a decent trio... that’s about it

I believe the NCAA said no to that ...It isn't as far fetched as it seems on paper. Keep in mind that players are going to be granted the one time exemption to transfer and be immediately eligible elsewhere.
Players like Marek and Sidibe could opt to return, but I think we have to expect them both to leave. Would anyone really be surprised if Q or Griffin opt out? Woody is apparently dissatisfied. And I think that at least one of Edwards / Ajak is a sure thing to bail. Braswell, who knows -- I could see him sticking with the expectation that he's at worst the third forward, or deciding to capitalize on not losing a year of eligibility and transferring somewhere where he could start for two years.
It really isn't unrealistic to expect that all of the above attrition COULD happen. I really hope that Woody is convinced to stick around.
Couldn’t agree more.Well... if Woody returns, then I'd expect him to start at the 4 [I personally expect Quincy to be gonezo]. That's a heck of a nucleus, and way more athletic than our current starting lineup.
But the real question is JG3/Buddy/Benny/Braswell/Marek?Couldn’t agree more.
Kadary/Buddy/Benny/Woody/5 is a solid ACC lineup.

LOL I would almost welcome it on the recruiting side because Red will kill it as a HC. I actually think Devo would be a good recruiter tooYou're gonna love it when Red becomes the next HC, and Devo gets hired as the new assistant.
Heard it again last night this exact statement. It's happening that JBA and Jesse are going to leave. It will take a miracle pitch by the staff on exit interviews for one of them to stay. Frank is staying. If Sid doesn't exercise that 5th year, we will go after a big transfer ( I want them to sniff around UNC's bigs. One will leave)We will be picking up a big man transfer. No way we can’t.
Will Q/Griff be a situation where JB tells one of them that they lost their starting job to Benny?Heard it again last night this exact statement. It's happening that JBA and Jesse are going to leave.

Griff and Q will test the waters and 1 of them will come back after getting no sniff for that starting gig along side Benny. I don't see JG3 transferring but honestly, it wouldn't be a bad thing for us ( I don't want him to but it is what it is).
I didn't/haven't heard one drop about Jimmy coming to Cuse. Would it shock me? hell no but I haven't heard any of it even last night after the game
Agreed, Kadary/Benny/Buddy will be our main 3Kadary/Benny/Buddy will be a decent trio... that’s about it

I really don't see that situation happen and I think JB would start both those guys again (they have their faults but both have put up good stats this year and very rarely does JB does that option). Benny was always viewed as a 2 year guy, even with him going to be a 5 star. I just think it naturally happens that one will leave and one will stay (whoever gets more looks at getting drafted).Will Q/Griff be a situation where JB tells one of them that they lost their starting job to Benny?
true. Wouldn't blame himQ is going to be 22 in May. His clock is ticking for playing pro ball (NBA, Europe, whatever). I cannot imagine someone at his age would come back to go into pro ball at 23.
JMHO.
The NCAA hasn't said anything yet.
They keep delaying the vote.

That one time exception to transfer and not sit out a year hasn’t been approved, and I don’t think it will be. Everyone keeps making that assumption but I think it’s unfounded. I think coaches are going to continue to push back on that because it was such a weird year with Covid and many teams (like us) couldn’t get into a rhythm.It isn't as far fetched as it seems on paper.
