Alright everyone go to town claiming how much better each school's recruit(s) looked last night. This is called the verbal assault area.

Eric Williams will break anyone who comes inside on Wake next year. He ripped that guys head back like it was a PEZ dispenser.

Felton will be called for 2 charges per game.

Reddick will be added to the long list of gay Duke players.

Bosh will be one of Eric Williams' victims.

Weren't convinced by Felton's spin moves, were you?

Let me add this one: McCants will draw two charges a game.

Of the UNC recruits McCants obviously impressed most people more than Felton did. Felton seems to try and shake n bake his way around out there a little too much.

May is going to be a player. He may be a fatass now, but he has a soft shot and good hands. The only thing I have seen Matt Doherty do well as a coach is get Brenda Haywood to improve a little. I reckon Doh's experience as a post player will come in handy for teaching May how to handle the post.

EW needs more conditioning, which I am sure he will get out of Prosser. I worry most about him having foul problems. One thing is certain, when he fouls somebody he fouls them! He will be one of the top 5 rebounders in this conference from day 1 simply because of his size and positioning. Anybody who gets offensive boards like that will score some easy baskets on putbakcs. He may not have hit them last night, but do you think that will continue in college. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="biggrin.gif" />

El Uncle, the game was last night which makes it acceptable. If there was the high school AA football game was played during the NCAA's and Clemson was actually playing in it, you would still talk about the high school fball recruits.

Now take your banking ass crying back to dreams of Death Valley, but remember the Deacs are coming in town to ruin your homecoming, and I will be there laughing at your ass the entire time. Even before that we are going up to the baseball series the last weekend in April. Our G-Vegas friend is up for it as well, and we might even be able to sneak in a round of "golf."

Other than Stoudemaire I think Carmelo Anthony was the best player on the court. Too bad he is going to Syracuse. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Frown]" src="frown.gif" />

If he doesn't qualify, he will most likely enter the draft they said.

Terpy,
I wasn't impressed with Amare at all last night. He did not live up to the hype.

Redick: A
Thompson: B-
Shav: C
Dockery: D

Felton:B-
McCants: A-, would be an A if Roberson hadn't scorched him on offense
May: C+

Bosh: A-

E.Williams: A-, a force to be reckoned with

Once May gets on the right diet and on a serious weight program, he is going to be a beast. Reminds me on Lonnie Baxter at the same point (May has more of the goods at this point though). The ACC is going to be loaded with big men in the coming years.

I bet Michael Thompson is giving Jason Williams FT shooting lessons. <img border="0" alt="[Laughing]" title="" src="graemlins/laughing.gif" />

<hr /></blockquote>Nate, I got the impression that Amare could have dominated if he wanted to. He didnt ask for the ball but when he go the ball he scored, I didnt see him missing to many shots. It was clear to me that he was the most talented player out there.

Terpy,
I think Anthony, Redick, McCants, Roberson and Fraser (besides the little mind lapse) looked better than Amare last night. I still think he is the best in the class, he just didn't play that well.

Yeah, recruiting has nothing to do with head coaching, or does it?

Sure Doherty did not do a very good job "coaching" this year's team, but it is only his second year at UNC (third total). What did he do in his first year?

beat Duke in Cameron
ACC-Reg Season Co-Champions
got to ACC-Title game
got into NCAAs

THESE THINGS DO NOT HAPPEN BY LUCK.

He had one awful season where his team and players showed little improvement if any at all and they were defeated by inferior teams. This disappoints me as much as it pleases all the ABCers, but I am gonna give Doherty a chance. As he establishes his own system, he will bring in his kind of players, and Doherty has showed that he can bring in good ones. Obviously Doherty is in over his head, but he will only continue to learn on the job. He is a good recruiter and these days that is a majoy part of the job. So as a Tarheel I feel things are headed in a better direction, and he will become a better coach.

hoops,
Recruiting and coaching are exclusive, just to let you know.

Last year, Forte, Haywood, Lang, Capel, and Curry were the reason they had all those accomplishments. Doh! is the reason they suck this year.

I dont think Doh is a nescesarily a great recruiter, the name UNC does alot of the recruiting for him, he just signs great kids who already want to be Tarheels IMO.

I let him have his fun.

The question of Doh's coaching ability is an often discussed topic among heel fans, of which I am a diehard one. The examples of great, even hall of fame coaches, who struggled early in their careers are enough for me to give the man more time to get the job done. I think he did a great job in his first year. That team was led by one man that could create his own shot, Joseph Forte. Doh didn't do enough to develop other scorers on that team which is a legitimate criticism of him but overall I thought he did a great job. I even picked the heels to lose to providence in the second round of the tourney but he is only a second year head coach who stepped into a situation where he didnt recruit any of these kids. Penn St of course beat Providence and then dispatched my heels but nonetheless, Doh's first year was a success. He took a team w/little to no offense from the point guard(Curry's shot was a complete joke), a big man in Haywood who was outstanding defensively but lacked any cohesive offensive game to say the least(the vast majority of his points came from putbacks or dunks, although he occasionally showed a nice spin move, I cringed when ever he shot a hook or fadeaway, usually a brick), a big man in Lang who for whatever reason never developed anything consistently outside of a hook shot that was never a sure thing of going in, and a kid in Jason Capel who had the offensive ability to score but never would step up. Against the terps that year he had 27 but for the most part didn't look to score enough. Which is where Doh could be blamed but there again, there was obvious tension between forte and capel, not the best situation for a second year head coach to be stepping into.

This year, the team looked pathetic and Doh at times looked completely lost. I don't think the guy is a dunce though nor do I think that our program is heading in the wrong direction. Everett Case or Norm Sloan said that recruiting is 90% of being a good coach. I can't remember which one said it but it is a true statement. K was 38-47 his first three years, including 34 losses his second and third seasons of which 19 were by double digits. He was on the hot seat big time until he started bringing in major talent. Did he just all of a sudden become a good coach? No. I am sure he became better just from experience but that doesn't mean when he was struggling that he was a "bad" coach. He just started bringing in talent. As long as Doh is bringing in the type of classes he has brought in his first two years then I won't be worried. BTW Nate, you said we had 4 Mcd AA's on this year's team, which is not true since you can hardly count Fing. Plus, none of the Mcd AA's we had could create their own shot and were all totally dependent on good guard play to score of which we were woefully lacking this year. You can have a frontline of Mcd AA's but w/out good guard play they are severely hampered.<hr /></blockquote>Great post! I agree with pretty much everything you said.

nonegood,

I agree with much of what you said also. Post on the UNC board some (we need you!).
