I remember a handful of you guys trying to put Hubert on the hot seat after last year.

 

Look at Hubert got this team as a #1 seed. Duke can get all the top recruits they want. One thing for sure the best HC in the state of North Carolina is Hubert MF'n Davis!

Hubert did an awful job last year. He's been MUCH better this year. I really think it was hard for him with Love and RJ. They're both great college players but they're not good running mates. It's tough with two shoot first guards who feel like they're competing for shots. When the shots are falling it can really work but when they aren't it's ugly. I just didn't like how he refused to develop or play a bench. That's been the big improvement this year. He's not running his starting five into the ground. Tired players aren't good players.

The roster wasn't that great last year and Caleb was a big reason why our offense couldn't function at a high level. I was the happiest guy when I saw he transferred to Arizona. The guy just takes wild shots. When he's hot he is great, but when he's off my goodness he kills the team.


We simply brought in smarter high IQ players this year. The biggest difference is RJ. I didn't think he had the ability to be one of the top scorers in the country. He's been a reliable scoring option.

 

As for Hubert is was never realistic for him to be on the hotseat. Sure he had a down year, but the man had us in the Nat'l championship game the year before in his 1st season! We got a damn good coach.

Hubert is one of my all-time favorite players. He and Pete Chilcutt are my earliest remembered favorite players. He just couldn't figure it out with RJ and Love. Hell, Roy couldn't either. Great players just not a good pairing on the same roster. 

I'll always love Caleb Love though. He or RJ one had to go but I'll always remember him for handling K his last two losses and carrying us to the title game. If we don't win it all this year I hope he does.

      Chris Simms: Jalon Walker is the most overrated player in the draft

      By LinvilleGorge · Posted

      I always get lectured every year when we inevitably win some meaningless late season games to tank our draft position that we're building culture and you always have to try to win no matter what. This is why that's bullshit. Once you're out of contention it's to your competitive advantage to LOSE.

      You’re tripping I hear what you’re saying but you’re not thinking of the benefits that trade gives us. We can then move around in the second round or late in the first to grab a specific player we covet like M Starks late in the 1st. Let me clarify if we’re at 21 we grab W Nolen or K Grant then trade up late in the 1 or early in the second giving up next years second for M Starks or T Amos there so much that can happen with that additional ammo.  Allowing us still so much leverage in next years draft as well with two first rounders we’d be dam crazy not to take a trade like that it’s not the big haul or heavy amount of picks we’re hoping for but it’s gets us multiple players especially ones we’ve seemed to taken a liking to like Nolen etc along with the safety from SC. or even a Luther B or James P early in the second. This nice influx in talent would help way more than a player like Jalon W. because of his high bust rate or probability  to bust….you know what I mean.  We need players we all know that those extra picks allow us to give up something this year to add key pieces from the 29-40 range that we may really like and have a need for (T Amos) and it not hurt as much because we’re stacked in round one of 26. Which could also be a pick one trade one scenario next year giving us more ammo to manipulate the draft to a winning situation for us long term. Al that to say we desperately need to be actively seeking a trade because we could add real talent in multiple spots this year and next with that current trade your opposing.

      [The Athletic] Do teams pay attention to NFL media mock drafts? Maybe more than you’d expect

      According to their list, the top guy hasn't put out a mock yet and the 2nd guy has us trading to 4 for Carter.
