When we beat UNC this season, saw young athletic guy...

That battled With the big highly regarded Tar Holes inside guys and belonged with them. Looks like he really had a lot of potential. Now, that young guy O-Max is in the transfer portal. SMH...

I feel your pain. Looks like we are about to lose half of our team.

We have lost more than you guys so far, and heard there might be more...
Walt Deptula on radio has been talking about how the Tar Heels are losing a lot of players, but didn't even mention Clemson which has more right now...lol

Unfortunately we ain’t done. I really hate this new environment in college basketball. Maybe we can benefit by picking up a few players. Maybe y’all can too.

I am mistaken, but didn't I hear the "talking heads" very early in the season talking about what a great inside game with both Hill and Simms and O-Max, playing inside together? Just asking?

Yep. Hall and O-Max were going to be key players for at least two more years. Hope at least Hall stays.

I hate to see him leave the program but if he isn’t happy here he likely would not become a go to guy. Rare to find a big time player out of Mexico but that is where he last “transferred” to. He had moved around a lot and that concerns me.

Sucks really bad. He played so much bigger than I thought. I thought he was going to be a lanky donte grantham type. He banged inside but could also dribble, slash and create. He was going to be a star by his junior year.
He may have deserved more minutes, it not sure how many more minutes considering we had Tyson and baehre at his position. His future was bright here though.

Last year WAS Brad's best class. This year's class was nothing to get excited about. We had one player that is worthy of ACC recruiting that just decommited. For 11 years running, I've watched Brad go head to head in recruiting against app st, Furman, NC A&T etc.
Then I read on here how OP left Brad with nada. His best recruits to date is the team OP left behind. OP was recruiting against ACC schools for recruits.
The facts speak for themselves.

Brad doesn't have the confidence to go after the better

Agree that this years class is nothing to brag about. Was disappointed as I wanted him to build on last years class.
I disagree with OP recruiting well and competing against other ACC schools
2003 - 12th in ACC. 1 of 2 recruits transferred. Vernon Hamilton was the lone recruit that stayed
2004 - 7th in ACC. 2 of 5 recruits transferred. Best recruit was James Mays (beast) and Cliff Hammonds with that sweet lefty stroke.
2005 - 13th in ACC. 1 of 3 transferred. Best recruit was KC Rivers
2006 - 10th in ACC. 2 of 4 transferred. Best recruit was Trevor Booker. Only a 3* but what a beast
2007 - 13th in ACC. No transfers. had Jerai Grant, TO, and Demontez Stitt (RIP) Stitt was only a 2*. Wow
2008 - 8th in ACC. No transfers. Had 2 4* in Catelin Baciu and Andre Young. THe other two were tanner smith and Narcisse
2009 - 5th in ACC. 2 of 4 Transferred. Milton Jennings, Noel Johnson, Devin Booker, and Donte Hill. This is how hard it is to compete recruiting in the ACC. on 5* and three 4* and we were only 5th in the ACC
2010 - He had Marcus Thorton committed and then OP left without saying anything to his players and he decommitted. We signed Cory Stanton who was originally signed w/ Brownell at Wright State but then he transferred.
This is also a good reminder of the nature of college basketball. Purnell had 8 transfers in 7 years of being here. It's not fun but it happens. Transfers are way more frequent now in general.
