Summer Workouts

One thing that is interesting with our portal additions this year is that outside Eddie, they are all 4th year guys (Jyare had a redshirt year at Providence first) and you do tend to see guys in smaller programs really hit their stride in that 4th year before leaving for their 5th year since the portal era has been the Covid era to date as well.

For instance had J Carlos stayed and averaged 14/ 7 ast and shot 37 pct from 3 he would likely be a top 75 transfer as a 5th year guy. Lucas Taylor with a bigger 4th year could have ranked much higher as well. So we are bringing in guys a year before that “money” year so to speak as we start now to move away from the CoVid 5 yr guys. It makes projections all that more difficult now vs what to expect with the 5th year guys.

we saw last year in ncabb that most of the best teams were the oldest. hopefully that is a trend that carries through to this year's orange. JB the analyst called it out during NC state's run in the ACCT...as he correctly predicted \nc state would do well in the big tourney. seems red was listening

i think people are sleeping on this team just bc these guys arent household names (yet) and the team has been down for a while...and bc the general public/talking heads havent yet caught on how much age/experience is decisive in this era (bc of how few teams actually have it)
 
Get the kid a girlfriend, she'll help him out.
First you get the haircut.
Then you get the girlfriend.
