Focusing on the positive, just look at all the scholarship room!
Yeah, the defections have devastated the program. Have the students enrolled now, or could there be more last second defections? Watts and Walker both look good, so it would have been a very nice freshman class if Willock had enrolled as planned. Another positive is that these young players will get lots of playing time.

If they're on the roster now in late August, I assume all 9 are enrolled.
True, they have a couple of pretty highly-ranked freshmen who will definitely see lots and lots of playing time. Good for them.
A few years back, Maryland was down to 7 healthy players (attrition from injuries) for a good part of the season. It worked OK for a while, but by tournament time, all those minutes took their toll and that's when the short bench really hurt.
ACC's a tough conference, playing with such a short bench will not be easy. And all 8 better stay healthy, all season!!!

UNC has 7 verbals for the 2016 class and 3 of them gave their verbal within the past 3 days. Most of them are 3 star players that will need to be coached up and I'm not sure they will get it.

Hopefully this will give Erika Johnson a chance to finally make an impact.
She was considered one of the best players ever out of Washington and the #21 recruit in the land when she went first to Cal, then to UNC and got hurt.
Like to see her get some minutes her senior year. Perhaps she will shine as once expected.

| I don't see why having a short bench should create that much difficulty. They could just add a few chairs. I mean most teams don't sit on benches anymore anyway so they could just lose the short bench entirely and use all chairs.

It's been ugly for quite awhile over in Chapel Hill. Sylvia getting her comeuppance, which from what I've read, is a long time coming. Jim Davis, formerly of Clemson, should be first in the applause line. We've known about her negative, anti-gay recruiting, but that's just the tip of iceberg Sylvia. She's been playing with a house of cards and it's time for it to fall.
I am not okay with WBB taking the brunt for all the antics pulled at UNC for many years. I hope the Hatch leaves to protect her health.

Anti-gay recruiting? Can't be true. |

| Supposedly Hatchell has had no problem recruiting gay players for her own program. There has been hints and rumors (from others, no I) of negative recruiting towards other programs.

I guess I'm not clued in enough to know what this means either.
