Lol.
So is this the "player to be named later" in the Tyler Nickel trade?
Et tu, Brute?
Sorry not seeing it. If he is in UNC's rotation, Its on CMY for not using him properly and its going to piss me off
I guess this means he ditched the High Point "commitment" once the coach left to be the coach-in-waiting at Creighton. I'm with DC on this one - I sure he doesn't end up being in the rotation and a contributor at UNC. If he could start for them, he should have been a starter for us.
I had expected him to start at some point this season, especially if Schutt doesn't become more consistent shooting but now we will never know.
Yeah Schutt was the more streaky shooter imo, but they were both very inconsistent
I agree, and while I do think he'll just be a bench depth guy, I'm also preparing myself for a reality where he is a key minute churning point scoring contributor to a UNC Final Four run next year. Because that just seems like something that would happen at this point.
I am on record saying that the version of him at the end of this season was starter level... and he was getting lots of PT to reflect it
Not sure that this is so much a story about VT or Mike Young but more so Hubert Davis grasping for straws.
Young showed some promise and honestly of all the BBall departures is the one I would like to have kept the most, but he is a far cry from the UNC standard of old.
I choose to believe this.
UNC is in trouble if they're planning on leaning on him heavily
Now of course he will average 20ppg and help them get to a final four
Apparently Young grew up a UNC fan so maybe content to sit the bench there
And count the $$ in his bag.
