2027 Recruiting
- Thread starter Carolina151
- Start date
That's why I stated that she would be departing after next season in my post.
We def wont have 14 players next season. No way these players are gonna stay at UNC to sit the bench another season. My money will be on Hull, Blanca, and Aarnisalo to hit the portal after the season is over. Asrnisalo wont be sitting behind Kelly and in coming Harpering. Also wont be shocked to see Henderson and Brooks get lured away with the promise of more money and playing time. So long story short, we will end up with plenty of space if other schools show interest and coach continues to act like we all of sudden dont have a bench that could be a strength of ours.

Lost on defense and took some atrocious shots tonight. Think she’s more of a 2 with some passing ability than a point
Plus, LG was very, very good tonight.
I do not get it with RK but I do get it with IN. IN does not talk a play off. She gives maximum effort on both the offensive end as well as the defensive end. She rebounds, etc. I know her 3 point shot is inconsistent but she gives you everything else. TH and TQ does the same thing which is amazing for them both being freshmen. CB has a tendency to play EA less one game but then plays a ton the next game. I think she will play a ton against Clemson. LG was on a roll tonight. There is no way I would have taken her out tonight. Hull just got back from injury tonight. CB did play her. Her timing and rhythm was off as a result of not playing the last 3 games due to injury. We will have two starting spots open for next year. We only have two recruits coming next year. If I was BT, LH, and EA, I would stay. BT has not been playing up to the standard since she got hurt during the summer. I do not she that jump from her between her freshman and sophomore year. I have seen it from LH, CT, and LG. BT has got to want it. She will need to get in the weight room, lose some pounds, work on her conditioning, and do speed and footwork. I would work out with the cross country team to work on conditioning. I would take ballet classes to work on her footwork, and she needs to trim down some which will make her more quicker on the court. The injury over the summer has really slowed her down. If not then I guess she can hit the portal. Noelle is here now. She will be pushing somebody for some minutes next season.
Also, Nivar had an excellent game tonight along with LG. Both of them were the leading scores for us tonight. Nivar always brings it on the defensive end.
You mean two of the three total upperclassmen on our team that have been in the program for 3 years? What a shock they get a longer leash than others…
You have to assume that people will enter the portal. But right now you got Brooks expected to take Nivar’s spot and Henderson taking Harris’ at the 4. The playing time is going to be there. Definitely not the money though, you are right about that.
Well, I guess we will have to wait and see what happens at the end of the season. I will say this, the grass is not always greener at the next place, just ask Paulina Paris, Crisp, Wiggins, etc. Key is doing very well, but it is not that many who left our program that are doing well as a whole.
7 rebounds and 6 assists to 2 TOs to go along with those 16 points.
i am not a fan of speculating who will enter the portal. it is not based on any actual inside knowledge and nothing good can come from it.
when it happens (always does in this era) it happens.

We have open spots next season at the 3 and the 4. I think NB, TH and LH will fill those spots. I hope they see the opportunity there for them.
I think TH might be groomed to take over the IN role as super defender. She is tall, athletic and fast. Plus she can shoot the 3 and drive it to the rim.
NB once she finds her shot again is going to light it up from the wing. LH can be a great sniper from
the 3 and she is physically strong and can physically rebound.
Next year is going to be great but we got things to do this season.

The players whom you mentioned above were probably told that their playing time would be reduced. Referencing Key her issues were always staying healthy long enough to play. Based upon all that has been written and said about this group they are a very close. Agree with your example that the grass is not greener at the next stop, that's why I believe this group will stay intact. Mention before with those who approve of CB, or disapprove she as been able to retain players who are major contributors. Do not expect that demeaner to change going forward, not saying it won't but unlikely.
This is a 2027 recruiting thread. Let's please stay on topic. There are plenty of other threads to have portal conversations.
Appreciate that, if individuals do not want to read them, that's their option. Not retaining key players, will be a disaster even with 2027 recruiting. I remember you tarboy from the post that we have had over the years, appreciate your input as well.
She's a 6'5" Post player, she would be a great addition if CB and her staff could sway her to Carolina.
Yes Please !

Based upon what is being thrown around the circuit regarding PG's for 2027, truly believe that either Kalenna Smith who is 5' 6" of out CA, or Jezelle Banks who is 5'8" out of St. James Performance Academy (DC) are two candidates of whom may end up at Carolina. Smith is rated number one player in the country according to ESPN and Banks is the number four player, with playing time being available at this position it's possible.
Don’t know if it’s been posted but Celsy Colombo was at the game today.
^^^ and yes she’s part of “that” Colombo family. (Italian mob boss Joe Colombo) Great, Great, granddaughter lol.
Here is some information on Celsy Colombo. The young lady is 6 feet 4 inches tall from Buffalo, NY.
Here’s the official post. She was just offered on January 23!
Thank you Kenbud, you always bring good Tar Heel content to this site.
Looks like we missed this one in November. Apologies if I missed a post when I reviewed the threads.
