Recruiting is slow right now. We're practically done with this class and the next class we're on a few bigs...but this is a slow time. Transfers are the biggest news right now with lacey and Hornsby making decisions in the coming weeks. Look to be going after some big men in the 2014 class. Leron Black and Abdul-Malik Abu are two big names. We're also going after some big 2015 names very, very hard including Ivan Rabb, the two Wheeler kids Jaylen Brown and Giddens, as well as Marcus Derrickson. There is little information at the moment though as we're a ways off from those guys. The Martin twins will be playing at Oak Hill this year, so we can look forward to hearing how they do against great competition. Apparently Caleb is becoming more of a 2 and Cody is more of a 3 who can play the 4 in a pinch.

we finally offered 2016 PF Harry Giles. I saw him play live this season, and he's huge for a freshman. He visited for the primetime event in preseason and for the UNC game.

Trevor Lacey to State is official now.

Apparently Rodon sealed the deal with Gott after the game yesterday.

Woot

6/17/2013 5:08:17 PM

Nice, Rivals had him as a 5-star shooting guard coming out of high school (4-star on scout and espn)

6/17/2013 5:23:42 PM

Ver nice!

Right on cue...

fun fact: of the players unc has ever really wanted, they have signed every single one of them

it's true, just ask them

6/17/2013 6:01:03 PM

Definitely an upgrade over purvis sorry ass.

Very high rebound rate, high ast rate, high steal rate.

Only real downside is his anemic 2 pt shooting. Gott needs to coach those shots out of his game immediately

6/17/2013 7:19:36 PM

^^^well that's a surprise

good get Gott.

6/17/2013 7:28:56 PM

Only real downside is his anemic 2 pt shooting. Gott needs to coach those shots out of his game immediately by 2014.

6/17/2013 7:31:16 PM

^^^^LOL

6/17/2013 7:50:16 PM

Little worried how jevoni fits in with all these additions.

6/17/2013 9:37:54 PM

he has one job and we all know what it is.

6/17/2013 9:46:28 PM

With all the turnover, here's a good rundown of what we have and who we're recruiting at which positions.

blocking that shit?

6/17/2013 10:07:41 PM

In all honesty I think jevoni gets 10-15 minutes next season. The guy is just too talented to be supressed given our weak interior

6/17/2013 10:15:15 PM

Jevoni's the next Kawhi!

6/17/2013 10:22:02 PM

^^ 10-15 minutes total next season? I can see that being about right.

6/17/2013 10:23:10 PM

So this means he won't be eligible to actually play until 2014, correct?

6/18/2013 9:36:01 AM

^Correct

Assuming these transfers aren't total busts the work Gott has done this off season has been pretty impressive.

I am not sure if we will be any good but at least there is more depth than what it was looking like a few months ago.

6/18/2013 12:58:20 PM

I think Gott has done a tremendous job back filling our roster with players that will be here through their senior year. With all the defections we had this year and likely future early NBA entrants like TJ and Cat Barber, it's good to have some legitimate "four year" players that can provide meaningful minutes. Chemistry of the team remains to be seen, but I like the efforts the coaching staff has put in to bring in good talent.

I know we won't see Lacey for a year, but I'm excited about the freshman class and seeing Turner and Lee as well.

6/18/2013 1:40:16 PM

the good thing about doing all these transfers this year is we have a group of young players coming in with them. There isnt a lot of seniority, so the players can grow up together in a situation that is new to all of them

at least thats how I hope it pans out

6/18/2013 1:49:22 PM

we are gonna be playing small ball.

rebounding should be

maybe anya will surprise me

Maybe I'm just being optimistic here, but I've liked everything I've heard about Anya. At 16 he was 6'8" with a wingspan of 7'9". Yea he is heavy, but so what, he is a monster. I mean come on.

6/18/2013 1:58:46 PM

He can recruit. Let's see if he can coach them out of the nc state shit mentality.

6/18/2013 2:06:37 PM

^ have you not been watching? he's given us our best two seasons since the late '80s thus far.

6/18/2013 2:23:36 PM

obviously we're a championship or bust kind of school

6/18/2013 2:29:38 PM

Cliff Alexander tweeted his top ten and we did not make the cut.

6/21/2013 2:47:15 PM

go get Kyle Wiltjer to transfer here NOW!

How does starting on day 1 sound?

6/24/2013 9:48:13 PM

So we get a white pg and a player to be named later?

6/24/2013 9:57:56 PM

Has anyone at all linked us to him? Seems to me he'd be more likely to head back west. I would be surprised if we even made his list.

6/24/2013 10:00:40 PM

what's with the Bobcat looking guys on campus at these basketball camps? shouldn't it be our players?

6/24/2013 10:04:31 PM

Who are you.

6/24/2013 10:34:12 PM

There is nothing in that article hinting at him heading west

6/24/2013 10:41:51 PM

He's from Oregon originally. The article doesn't mention any specific destinations. I was wondering if anyone had heard of his being interested in us or are we just hoping? Lacey had ties to State and Gott before going to Bama, do we have any ties to Wiltjer?

Kyle Wiltjer, while white, is not a PG at 6'9" 239 lbs. if he is who you are referring to.

Also I don't think we have any ties to him at all.

6/25/2013 6:25:54 AM

^Saw the phrase 'and a player to be named later' and took it serious. I can't win with you people

6/25/2013 7:26:17 AM

you should've said something that halfway made sense then
