Every good player that goes to an ACC team makes the conference better.

We don't want another year where the best teams in the ACC get middle tier seeds in the NCAA Tournament and the mid level ACC teams don't get bids at all.

Much better when the fifth place team gets a 4 seed

JJ and Westry aren’t chopped liver.

Not sure a 3/2 guy from the A10 is a big addition

Look at the video. Gapare is an incredible athlete and an improving basketball player. He might be a terrific player as soon as next year. Just like the African players who grow up playing soccer and convert only when they get to the US, this guy's from New Zealand, not exactly a world hotbed for hoops. He's a good pickup, almost as good as Westry and Starling in his own way.

He was a terrible fit with Frank Martin. No idea how good he will be but his ceiling is a first round pick.

If you say so, I have watched the tape, he is clearly athletic but he is also playing some pretty bad competition. I think he will struggle mightily against athletes at his level.

Yeah I wanted him to commit last year out of HS, especially since we were still 100% zone for the foreseeable future at that time.
