    I believe a time is coming soon that the NCAA will be forced to make institutional changes to catch up with what is happening with the NIL.  Feels like they are still stuck in the late 80's with their policies when college athletics has basically become a AAA feeder league for pro sports.  At least they have begun to acknowledge what it actually is, but why not fully embrace it and change the structure to fit what has been happening for decades?

    And the time to make this jump is now, new coach at UNC and Mike K on his farewell tour.  Jimmy has a window here to make it happen one more time.

     

    haven’t heard much about the Carey kid, just want a big that can catch the ball and make a move in the post.  And bring some value to the pick and roll (teams have ignored our big in that action for years).

    I watched some of this summer’s highlights.  He looked much better.  Looks like his frame filled out and he has more room to add muscle.  Also looked much more confident and assertive as a floor general.  Great handle and seems to be better at creating off the dribble.  I love the commit.

     

     

    A lot of folks feel confident that we’ll land the 7 foot C/PF from Mass, Peter Carey.  He’s gone under recruited, but has had an incredible summer.  I think we’re one of maybe 2 “big school” offers he has received.  There will be more before he commits anywhere.  Hopefully we got in early enough on him.

     

    I’m still holding out hope for one of either JJ Starling or Chris Bunch.  Both wings that can also play either guard position.

    Does this mean Westry is off the board?  I kind of felt like it was him or Copeland but not both

    @Johnny Hammersticks and @Buffalo716, this is my temp account (as noted by the handle) because I could not remember or retrieve my old password.  Former screen name was @nemhoff.  I have missed being able to banter with you guys about Cuse hoops and wanted to throw out a few thoughts for your insight.

     

    1.  I think Benny Williams is going to be amazing for a year at the Cuse, probably best recruit since Melo IMO

    2.  Dior is still a B**** and will regret going to Oregon (and I now live in OR and root for the Ducks)

    3.  Quincy is an idiot, as noted here, and I believe will regret going to Oregon as well (I still live in Oregon)

    4.  Bummer on Clingon, I am not super familiar with UCONN these days, but other than proximity not sure why he wouldn't get on the Cuse momentum right now

    5.  Kamari Lands is going to better than advertised, can't wait to see him play for the Cuse

    6.  I hope that Starling chooses to come home, that dude can fill it up

    7.  Don't remember his name, but the kid out of VA (Taylor?) is a huge steal for Gmac to get him away from UVA

    8.  The initial schock of the transfer portal and NBA submissions has passed and I believe that the Cuse will be better than last year.  Adding Jimmy and the NOVA kid will payoff big time I think.  Other than his rebounding, I think most of the loss of QG will be made up.

     

    Thoughts?  Any mid-summer info?
