Haven’t seen a team just run through their opponents in the NCAA Tournament like this since Carolina obliterated everyone in their path in 2009.

UConn beat good teams and I won’t discount that but college basketball is becoming watered down and parity is becoming more pronounced.  There wasn’t a dominant team.
 

That UNC couldn’t make the tournament knowing this is very concerning

'04/'05 will always be the ultimate college basketball season for me. UNC and Illinois were everyone's top two teams all season long. The narrative being that UNC had the most talented but Illinois was the better team. The way it played out with those two facing off for all the marbles in a great game was just perfect. A team like either one of those in this year's field cake walks.

I was watching the end of a high level HS game on ESPN2 and when are HS and college coaches gonna realize that scoring is way down across the board at those levels and way up in the NBA? Everyone at the lower levels wants to run the same type of spread iso offense as the NBA but without NBA talent. The result is a lot of ugly, low percentage shooting, low scoring games.

I'm wondering if some of our '24 class might be reclassifying to come early. If not I'm not certain we'll see them in Chapel Hill because Hubert might get himself fired in the meantime.

Yes, it certainly does not look real good at the present time.

It feels like Hubert is struggling mightily to bring in difference making transfers.  Withers is a decent pickup but we really need a few impact players here

We still have a ways to go putting the teams together, so here's wishing them success

      If you wanted Danny Dimes here’s the chance

      By Jackie Lee · Posted

      Strange, every news article and tweet I just searched all mentioned waivers. It is definitely his sixth year of at least 6 games. All I was trying to think of earlier was at the vet min could he beat out Bryce in camp next year lol. He's kinda got the old Darnold issue where he can obviously launch deep balls and qb run at a level Bryce will never achieve, but it sounds like he would be content being like a Josh Allen backup who doesn't throw the whole game plan out the window if he has to come in for a series or two. If we had him and for some reason still wanted to start Bryce he would kinda do what Justin Fields was doing the other night with Dangeruss, coming in for designed runs and maybe some play action/triple option rpo things to go deep. That would be so obvious and sad though. At least Russ can still sling it 40 yards in the air with a flick of the wrist

      Too late to edit above but the quote is from this Diane Russini article in the Athletic: https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5941684/2024/11/23/russinis-what-im-hearing-the-day-the-jets-fell-apart-and-the-broncos-rallied-belichick-best-fits/ Okay.. there you have sorry I left that out the first post.  Also waivers keep the contract intact. That is the major difference in released and waived. It's all in that link from the other post.

      Okay so I am reading something in The Athletic and it says that Jones had to pass through waivers. So I don't know. I looked this stuff up when we were number one there all offseason and I thought it said 4 years in the league got you vested, as they call it.  Vested gets you out of waivers as I understood it. I probably got something wrong, but when I think about the slack quality of journalism these days I wonder about that. So I went and looked, again. Well, well.  For everyone: "When a player has accrued at least four seasons in the NFL, they are considered a vested veteran. When these vested veterans get cut, they are released and their contract is terminated. When a vested veteran is released, they are an unrestricted free agent that can sign with any NFL team, and the team that released them doesn’t need to provide any additional compensation." It runs it all down here, where the quotes came from: https://www.profootballnetwork.com/waived-vs-released-nfl/ As far as Jones, the team turned down his 5th year option so I knew that meant he had 4 years in, because they re-signed him anyway, after turning down the much cheaper extra year.  The Athletic is owned by the New York Times so I shouldn't be surprised. That paper was an institution once upon a time but they let their standards go.
