Favorite THR Quotes....

[johnl1219_]

I was reading the THR thread about Skal waiting and finally getting eligible. Of course some Kentucky fans were weighing in about how their team is better than UNC...well here is the follow up response from DSouthr (wonder what the "D" stands for in his name)


"Oh, can I play the fantasy lotto game? Lets see...

Marcus Paige & Brice Johnson on the Wooden watch list, clearly 1st rounders and likely lotto guys. (neither are likely lotto guys...maybe Paige but I don't think he'll go that high)

Jackson, clearly a favorite to be in the lotto for which ever draft he elects to enter. (he's actually the only real lotto guy on the team at this point)

Issiah Hicks, off our bench, clear first rounder (based on what??)

Meeks, Wooden watch bubble guy and clear first rounder and potientially lotto. (no way Meeks is a lotto guy, he can't even jump over a phone book)

Pinson, projected as a easy 1st round selection and potentially lotto as well (Too early to tell at this point but I could see a 1st rounder at least)

Joel Berry, very likely a 1st rounder after his Jr or Sr season (the same Berry who was going to eat Tyus' lunch? It will take him three of four years to get drafted at the same spot as Tyus? )

Kenny Williams, write it down and tell me 2yrs from now I am wrong, 1st rounder and potentially lotto. (There is no way in hell Kenny is ever drafted in two years much less four years)

Joel James, potential 2nd rounder due to size and soft mid range jump shooting (What?? His size maybe, but his soft mid range jump shooting??)

Bench with Joel James, Hicks, Pinson, Nate Britt, Kenny Williams against Lee? I want some of what you are smokin if you honestly think that Ky bench is any where close to what we have coming off ours !

Those Tar Heels sure know how to evaluate talent...bet they could help MJ out in Charlotte with all that fine analysis.

Skal, Briscoe, and Ullis are the ONLY players on that Ky team that I would worry about if the 2 teams met."

Dsouthr is one of a dozen or so class idiots at THR. They feed off of each other with how great they can make UNCheat sound. Its funny how others see their players as good not not NBA players. The rest of the world laughs at them and its seems like they could occasionally have a rational thought. Dsouthr is saying that the whole starting lineup is potentially lottery picks or at least 1st round. Someone please tell me how anyone can be so stupid.

Carolina doesn't have anyone who's even close to lottery on that team. Jackson is the only one who will be a first rounder and he'll go mid-late first round. It wouldn't shock me if Paige went undrafted. A 6'1 point guys who isn't a good defender or a good distributor are a dime a dozen. Plus, he's thin and weak. Johnson is athletic, and that's about it. They really don't have anyone who have staying power in the NBA which is why I say it's laughable to think they're the number 1 team in the country

I agree, Jackson really is the only guy I can see as top 15 in the draft. The problem with Paige is that he stayed to long in college and his numbers are getting worse. Brice Johnson is not a guy that can ever be a lotto pick, he doesn't play tough an entire game, he fouls too much and disappears throughout games.

Meeks is just ok, unless he explodes this year with a double-double...and that just leaves Berry and Pinson. If they play well the next few years, they can be 1st round picks, but I don't see lotto pick written all over them.

I guess we'll see.

More Gary-7, the great talent evaluator.

gary-7 Posts that Stilman White should get serious minutes based on the LNWR scrimmage. Then a couple of posters question that great Gary-7 on this observation.

Gary responds with this..."Well..... I'll just say that if Roy plays it by ability Stilman could see the floor at meaningful times."

More questions about Gary predicting Stilman playing meaningful minutes, he responds..."Serious as a heart attack. Hell, just watch him in that little scrimmage. Not too hard to see......."

Someone then asks if Stilman backs up the PG spot, where does Nate Britt go..."Ideally, and I repeat ideally, Nate and Kenny Williams should back up at the 2."

So Gary is saying that based on LNWR, Stilman should back up the PG spot and Berry should move over to the SG spot. Let's hope Gary is correct, because Stilman getting a lot of minutes would be fun to watch.

I know as fans we can watch a meaningless game and try to turn it into something meaningful, but come on Gary, you cannot be serious.

 

[dukiejay]

Justin Jackson is the only player on their roster who right now looks anything like a potential first-round pick.

Paige is going to face a lot of the same obstacles as a guy like Quinn Cook. Really good players, but guys who, because of their stature, are a dime a dozen in the NBA. That means they better be extraordinary at a few things...and I'm not sure either are at the next level.

Pinson has some potential, but initially he looks a lot like JP Tokoto. Again, nice player but lacking in certain areas. Unless Theo gains even a relevant jumpshot he's going to be a longshot to be anymore than a second-round pick. And even that's questionable.

Berry is going to have opportunities. There's still unknowns about him. But he's not jet-quick, he too lacks some stature (height-wise), and how much does he make others around him better? Again, I could see Berry playing himself into the first-round on the little I've saw from him, but it's not a given.

As for Hicks....he's athletic. Other than that, I'm not sure what I'm missing.

I've learned to take everything DSouthr says with a grain of salt. He's not bright. It's the same guy who told us three years ago not to be surprised if Joel James is the first overall pick someday, and last year he also called Duke's demise....saying we were in line for a hard fall. He just says a lot of really stupid stuff....and I think, for the most part, he means most of it.

Ha, I forgot all about that. Amazing.

 

[HuffyJB]

^ A living, breathing human being said James would be the first pick in the draft? He should be required to have that comment as a preface on everything he posts so people can immediately disregard him (not that his posts need lengthening - how come it takes so long to ultimately say nothing?).

dukiejay, Sometimes when you throw something at the wall it might stick. LOL, still waiting for something to stick with this guy. He has some creative takes but much like a few of the other ill informed over there, the walls are not very sticky these days.

 

[gottagonow]

Well I for one hope Joel James is their best player this season but by overall first pick Dsouthr must have meant in a hotdog eating contest. Man he says some really foolish stuff, even for a Tar Hole.

That UNC education is showing: he clearly meant to spell "LeBron," just hasn't passed typing class!

How 'bout this little one (bolded last paragraph) from DSouth of the 'Dukies' thread. Duke may or may not be worthy of a top 5 team in the country, but to say not even perhaps top 20...

I think they will likely start Jeter, Jefferson, Ingram, Thorton, and either Allen or Matt Jones. Lots of dukies are really high on Obi, and the last Plum is likely to get solid PT. Those Plums seem to find a way to have really solid senior seasons, so I am kinda expecting the last one to follow suite. I do expect to see more of a small line up a lot, meaning 3 guards and the freshman shooter they have IMO is going to play a lot.

To me the real key for their season is how much they get out of Ingram, I am not as sold on him as many seem to be but he is a big time talent for sure. Is Jeter really ready now or will he take time is another real key for them and can PLum in his last season finally live closer to his incoming hype. No matter what they are going to go as far as 3pt shooting takes them. And can Thorton come in as a frosh and play like the last couple freshman starting PGs have there.

IMO they have a ton of bold question marks and I know, I seem to down play duke every season about this time only to see them some how pull things together and develope into a hard team to take on. But this freshman group IMO is not nearly to the caliber of their last couple, I see a team with little depth other than jump shooting wings. They have a freshman PG and no back up for that kid. I see a front court that will have to rely on guys that so far have not really shown a lot and a freshman that is nothing close to Parker or Ochfor. And their touted 6'9" wing is thinner than Henson was as a frosh as hard as that is to believe.

Touting them as a top 20 team at this point to me is a real stretch so I can not understand their being pre-season ranked top 5. Just my opinion...

A real stretch to be a top 20 team? It's his opinion, but wow!

OAsD, I don't see much wrong with what he said in accordance to the players and question marks facing Duke this year. He is certainly correct in saying this years freshman class is not close to what Duke brought in last year. Frankly, who is? Jones, Okafor and Winslow were winners who had a ton of experience playing together on the worldwide stage. Throw in Grayson and his emergence as the year went on, that's one hell of a class.

Duke needs some production from the front court. Where does it come from? Nobody knows that answer yet. Jeffereson is the obvious answer. Marshall will have good moments but he is not a go to guy in the post. Obi will add bulk and rebounding but anyone expecting him to be a guy you throw it to in the post and ask to get a bucket, might be setting their sights a bit too high.

Thornton is a PG who might take some time to develop. Which he will, but will it be sooner rather than later? Kennard will be a pretty good bet to back up/take over for him if needed. I do not feel too bad about that. Also the offense could run through Ingram. (where dsouthr went wrong with that comparison is that the two are entirely different players. Ingram has many more skills with the ball than Henson did. Henson was a low post, run the floor big. Who was very effective at it but Ingram will be playing on the perimeter almost exclusively, so does he really need to be more bulky to break people down off the dribble or shooting over guys? We will see.

Overall I think dsouthr broke that down quite well, sans the top 20 crap.

Oh, I agree, Denn, with almost all of it, except those last 2 lines of his. I don't think anyway that Duke is not worthy of being top 20.

[HuffyJB]

Duke has a ton of questions to answer and a ton of talent to replace. But if you were to use the available data and past history and things like that to make an educated guess as to how things would shake out, you would have to be a fool to bet against K figuring it out. He is a UNC fan and wants the worst to happen, but I'm pretty confident in predicting that it won't.

 

[gottagonow]

OMG Dsouthr is a fool. There were a few of the THR crowd who said last year after we had lost back to back games against NC State and Miami that we were not top 20. A few of us said we were not top 10. Well just how did that turn out? The truth is right now we don't know what we will have until a few games into the season but I am sure we are top 10.

 

[pisgah101]

Ehhh we have question marks but like huffy said we have a lottttt of talent to answer them with. We are a top 5 team no doubt in my mind and no doubt in my mind our ceiling this ceiling is a lot higher then the crybaby team THR has

 

[dukiejay]

On paper alone we're a top five team. The problem with that is games aren't played on paper. IMO, there will be nights where we don't look the part of top 20, and I'd probably agree that a top five ranking in the preseason is a little aggressive for this team. But overall, to say this isn't a top 20 team in a relatively weak(er) field is just trying extra hard to downplay the rival. He did it last year too in saying we were in for a major downfall. This year, depending on your definition of major and considering we're coming off a national championship, one could make the argument because the only place for us to go is down.

I'll say this....the 2015-16 doesn't have a lot of room for error. We also don't have a Tyus, Justise, or Jah (yet) to sometimes fall back on. The pieces are there to be really good on certain nights....but looking objectively I can also see where opposing fans are going to be apprehensive as to how consistent we can be throughout a long season. There will be growing pains, and those growing pains are going to frustrate the hell out of us. But remember, last year our own fans were panicking and trying to figure how we were going to get to .500 in conference play going into the game at Louisville. All teams evolve, and all teams evolve in their own way and at a different pace. We have to be particularly patient this season. It's a new/different team.

Correct, I dont really have a problem with the majority of what he said and he brings up fair questions. Especially for a team that lost as much as we did and are relying on such fresh faces this year again. The class last year, I expected Final 4. This year not so much. it could happen or we could flame out, but we're not even CLOSE to knowing that since we haven't even had our first exhibition game.

DJ makes the points, I would have already. We're not sure what kind of team we will have yet. I think we're in the top 5 b/c the name is Duke and we're defending champs. Couple that with K and the complete uncertainty of college hoops this year, unlike last year, and we'll get a favorable preseason nod.

The only issue i have with DSouth's post (other than the spelling) is the suggestion that we're not a top 20 team. It's easy to pick apart your rivals teams b/c you know the rosters like the back of your hand. I can spit out their roster too. You know who i can't spit out the roster of? The rest of the teams who makes up the majority of the teams slotted 10-20. So i can't sit here and tell you whether we're a fringe top 20 team or not vs. the competition b/c i dont have any clue who the majority of those teams have. Now maybe he does. Maybe he can sit there and say well i know Duke as it is now isn't as good as Oklahoma or San Diego State or LSU etc. but i'd seriously doubt he can do that.

You can't base this year's roster off of last year's success and field. Doesnt' work. We really aren't sure if we are or are not, so no one can say it definitively.

 

[gottagonow]

What were we preseason last year? 7th I think, and the only thing we knew we had was a great incoming but unproven college freshman in Okafor and hopefully 3 other good freshmen, a sometimes sproadic point guard, a often times poor shooting Sulaimon and a good rebounding Jefferson. I remember thinking no way would we be as good without Jabari Parker and Rodney Hood. Look what happened when we saw 3 great freshmen and a great shooting Quinn Cook.
Point is we don't know what we are going to have and we can only hope.

 

[pisgah101]

And I remember being worried when Gerald declared for the draft and then Elliot Williams transferred. Season felt lost then we win it all. We never know really what's possible this early

Think we were consensus 2nd or 3rd last year coming in. And we pretty much should have all felt it was final 4 or bust. we didn't have any holes last year coming in. and those freshman weren't the "unproven" type- they were very much proven.

 

[timo0402]

I stand corrected- 4th in AP and 3rd in Coaches:
http://espn.go.com/mens-college-basketball/rankings/_/year/2015/week/1/seasontype/2

 

[gottagonow]

OK timo we were 4th but we had no proven college freshmen since there is no such thing until after at least one game. We knew Okafor would be good but didn't know he or the other 2 or 3 would lead us like they did. You mean you were not pleasantly surprised. I felt it was final 4 or bust but only after I saw them play a few games.

Not to sound like "i told you so guy" but no i wasn't surprised (pumped yes)- i look at each year for what it is. I didn't expect us to go to the final 4 in Austin's year. I thought we had a decent shot the next two years- 1 we should have but ran into the best team (when i thought we were the 2nd best) and the other the lack of a big man to support jabari at the 4 hurt more than i had anticipated. Last year i absolutely thought we had a full roster of guys that could and would get us there (barring injuries- we even did it barring departures).

This year, i'm not expecting a final 4, could it happen? maybe, b/c it's a completely different year where it's much more wide open and there aren't 3-4 really good teams and then everyone else. Next year though? I am. If we get the roster i think we get (big weekend fellas) then yes, i expect final 4 next year.

 

[skysdad]

I go into every year thinking we can win the national championship and I feel we can win it all this year. I have been right 5 times. Also in our prediction threads I never pick the other team. I'm wrong sometimes but I'm right a lot more times than I am wrong. Probably one of you can answer this question. I don't know the answer witout looing it up. When was the last time a pre-season #1 ranked team went on to win the NC and how many times in the last 25 years or so has a #1 pre-season ranked team finished #1. I may be wrong but I don't think there are many teams that have done that so to me pre-season polls don't mean very much. I do feel however feel rankings are important at the time of seedings for the dance. Coach K usually has us in pretty good shape when that time comes up. By the way haven't we gotten off topic a little. OFC

From Tru Blu Heel or something like that-
"If he doesn't want the competition, does he really need to come to Carolina? That's part of being a top notch program"

There are a lot of different things I could pick from this comment. but i'm going to choose this one first. Because I've seen it happen with the last few recruits they've lost (this is in the 7th woods thread)- when they don't want to come to UNC it's because they don't want the competition. they dont want to fight for a spot. yet if Duke or another program were to recruit at a position that already has players in it, it's "OVER RECRUITING". The Spin zone over there is incredible. #Heelsarefamily until you spurn them and then you're an awful human being.

UNC recruiting has gotten so far down that not they have to resort to the most ridiculous term there is in recruiting; "recruited over?" LOL. That term is for the defeated and those lacking behind in recruiting. When Roy was at his best on the trail he was recruiting multiple guys to play the same position regardless of class and who was already there. Recruiting is the bloodline of a program. If you do not recruit depth from different classes, you end up falling behind those who have title aspirations every year. Also what happens when a kid blows up and leaves early, unexpectedly?

 

[dukiejay]

And to that point Denn, do you think Roy is going to be satisfied with players like Kenny Williams, Luke Maye and Brandon Robinson? Absolutely not. Those are guys who would have had very difficult times playing on past UNC teams, but may be forced to play in the coming years because UNC isn't landing their top targets. Trust me, if UNC's recruiting does get back on track, those aforementioned guys will be nothing but limited role players.

In major D1 basketball every team recruits the best of the best. If you can't handle that then you're better off finding another place to play.

 

[denniden]

dukiejay, I got into it on the national board with a Maryland fan about this specifically. It amazes me that people buy into the recruited over theory. I guess it makes sense for programs who are not used to getting 4 and 5 star players most of the time, but for UNC fans to say this shows me how far they have fallen on the recruiting trail in recent years.

 

[Mark Gastineau]

Denn, while I'm sure that made your life as a mod a tad annoying, it was a lot of fun putting that Maryland fan in his place. Fun little geography lesson too!

 

[timo0402]

has this one been posted by the legend that is Keyser? I dont even have anything to add, just enjoy the fireworks:

"K has developed over many years a SYSTEM to get a #1 seed Goes like this... pad your schedule with cupcakes at Derm, Army, Buffalo etc. Then make SURE you do NOT play ANY true road games vs non conference teams. This is CRITICAL Hence the Meadowlands MSG, United center etc are the "road" venues for dook .


Sleazebag has consistently avoided the on campus roadie because he KNOWS his teams stand a MUCH better chance of LOSING the game .... nothing can jeopardize that one seed .....usually the EASIEST of the 4 seeds in the NCAA

Throw in the usual "clock issues" at that hell hole of an arena ... funny how they ALWAYS seem to help dook , as well as the usual ref baiting and abundance of highly favorable calls that has an entire NATION sick of the never ending benefits that dook has gotten over the years from the Zebras, and POOF the system has worked like a charm for thirty plus years.

That SYSTEM goes down the drain when Vader leaves. The next coach... GOD please let it be Caple or Collins or Amaker etc... simply will have NONE of that to tap into and it will take years to develop the intimidation factor that doochies routinely enjoy from the Zebras."

Keyser is the gift that keeps on giving.

Denn, while I'm sure that made your life as a mod a tad annoying, it was a lot of fun putting that Maryland fan in his place. Fun little geography lesson too!

Terp was over his head in that conversation. The resorted to some pretty juvenile stuff when he could not hold his own.

Keyser is funny. I like when he and others there go on their rants. The sound of the defeated attitudes can be heard all the way up here in Connecticut.

I'd be so embarrassed if i had a fan of my team that was like that. Just complaining about the refs non stop...has to get pretty old pretty quick.

If you are a UNC fan you cannot have a sense of shame

All they've got is to bash K, complain about refs, clock operators, schedules etc., because they're getting their azzes kicked by Duke on the recruiting trail, and on the court. And speaking of courts, the Heels are not doing too well in the court of public opinion either.
Yeah, it sucks being a Heel.
