does it make me a bad person that I read in your profile "I went to W&M and UVA/Darden..." and immediately thought, "I bet this is one of the few women on TKP?"

Edit: Move Bud to last, need as good of a recruiter as possible.

Nailed It.

I'm more proud of myself for guessing right than I should be. It's the small victories in life

*This is my first post on TKP! I've been a lurker for awhile and finally decided to make an account.*

My takeaways from the first two games (attended the first in person, watched the second on tv):

1) Out of all the new faces, Leday seems to have the most polished game. I will be interested to see how he fairs against teams with more size. Will his mid-range game look as solid? Regardless, he brings a lot of heart, good energy, and a veteran presence.

2) I have not been impressed with Allen. I know it has only been two games, but his lack of ball distribution and high turnover rate are the two areas that a PG with 2-3 years of ACC experience should really have locked down. I will just have to trust Buzz's judgement until I see different.

3) Some of our players looked gassed as early as halfway through the first half. I saw quite a few guys breathing heavily with hands on their hips. The other two teams that we've played have looked to be in better shape. I'm guessing this can be attributed to the freshmen not yet being fully conditioned for the speed of the college game.

4) Everyone has already mentioned all of the mistakes that can most likely be attributed to the youth of this team. That being said, I don't think we've had this level of athleticism on the squad in at least 5 or 6 years. Once the team starts gelling/cleaning up the freshie mistakes, I think we can compete in the ACC. Hopefully that happens sooner (this season) than later (next season).

Tar Heels can't stop the run. In fact, they are one of the worst defenses in the entire country at defending the run

If they lifted the sign ban for this game I would bring one that says "RUN THE DANG BALL".

I guess yelling that will have to suffice.

Again, I understand, but my comments continue to be in response to this. Not the merits of recruiting good talent.

If we surround him with some stud recruiters and BF sticks around, then yes.

In other words, is the criteria for hiring Fuente that we must have stud recruiters that consistently get 4/5 star kids? If that is the case, and we can get recruiters that solid, then why would we take a shot at names that have rebuilt programs with less than ideal talent?

Oklahoma - I'd love TCU to win but without Boykin and Doctson, they are in big trouble. Struggled with Kansas State last week without both of them.

We know nothing about the shiny new objects except the good things we want to know.

This speaks volumes. Whit knows better. Hire Bud as HC.
