Seventh to the Heels
- Thread starter LetsGoDukies
- Start date
I have to be honest, I haven't followed their recruiting much in the last year. Have they fallen this far? I think Woods is a nice player, but they are already talking about him dunking on Giles. They are celebrating a #35 ranked kid like he was top 5. I almost feel sorry for them....
Well, to be fair to them, their lone recruit last year was Luke Maye until Shaka Smart left VCU and they got the Williams kid....who was ranked in the 80s. This time around Roy has offered probably around 20 kids or so and he's been getting shunned left and right. So in that sense, yes....this is pretty big for them.
I actually think Seventh is going to be a pretty good player. He's also a guy who will be around for 3-4 years so he gives you that stability.

Even if he was ready to go earlier, he would still be around 3-4 years.
Seventh is a nice, smart, hardworking kid. That's why this doesn't make sense, LOL. I guess he wants to be THE man right away at a featured program. He gets his wish, because he'll be the best guard there the day he gets on campus.
They weren't going to miss on everyone forever. This is the longest stretch I've ever seen in recruiting with them, as a blue blood, unable to land a top 10-12, sure-fire NBA guy. This guy is a nice player for sure, but he isn't that. I expect that trend to end in the near future though.

Last year UNC offered schollies to 14 guys, with only Maye and Williams committing (a pretty ho-hum class). This year, they've offered scholarships to 22 guys, 13 of which have already committed, and three of those 13 signing with UNC. Duke on the other hand had 5 out of the 9 offers commit to sign with us in the 2015 class. For 2016, Duke has offered 10 schollies, 7 of those players already verbally committing, and 4 committed to Duke. 2/14 + 3/13 = 18.5%. That's right, less than 20% of the players that receive an offer from Roy end up signing with the Heels. Our percentage is 56% over the last two years. K more or less chooses who he wants - Roy, I suppose has to do a bet of begging.
Woods is the type of player Ga Tech and Wake Forest get. The fact that UNC fans are ecstatic about this is extremely telling.
You know I'm kind of excited for them. Checked in over at THR and they are so happy. Bless their hearts. OFC
Hold on to your hats 'cause you guys ain't seen nothin' yet. After reeling in Seventh Woods I hear Roy's hot on the trail of Eight Irons...supposedly got him in the bag.

So he's going to ride pine his freshman year behind Britt and Berry .... then his sophomore year he'll battle for playing time with Jalek Felton. Even when he sees the floor, who is he going to pass to? Luke Maye, Williams and that stiff Bradley? Alrighty then....
^ I would say it is reference to his PG position rank, but he is actually the 14th best PG in the class of 2016, so I'm not sure.
#53 player in the country. UNC is back baby.

Seventh is a great kid, let's keep the negatives directed at the program that duped him, not the guy himself. Carry on, internet.
Nice pick up but not the player everyone thought he could become a couple years back. I know he is a help going forward but I don't see him being the help they need.
He'll be wishing he was with frank Martin in about two years
You guys are cute. Is UNC landing the caliber of recruits we are used to? Not yet. But it is obvious that we are gradually having more and more success and getting away from the NCAA cloud. In the very near future, we will be landing the top 10s. 7th will be a great player, and this will be a very solid class for UNC.
If UNC does land a top 10 recruit in the near future you better hope he doesn't stay 2-4 years or it will be the last you get in awhile. See Harrison Barnes. 20 year academic scandal isn't helping but it isn't the only reason UNC isn't getting the talent they're used to.

I just got to know. You have 3 post so it looks like the only board you have posted on is this one. What possessed you to start here. You've probably been lurking for a while. Why not go to THR. Nobody here really cares about your opinion. It seems like every couple of weeks or so we get one like you who has no business posting anything here. I really wish you would just stay with your own. But you are a Tar Heel fan. You can't help it because it's your nature can you. OFC
Haha. I post fairly regularly on THR. I don't expect you to care about my opinion. However, as long as I'm not trashing posters here or Duke--and I'm not--I fail to see the problem with me commenting on a UNC thread. Duke fans post on THR with some regularity.
The day this board doesn't allow visitors is a sad day. He said nothing wrong whatsoever.
Ok dj I'll go along with what you have said. How long would one of us have lasted over at THR with something similar. OFC
Not long. But that's why we're us and they're them. I love it.
Yeah, if a poster from this board went over there and posted with a message regarding Giles using the tone that this poster did, what would the mods there do? Maybe he's come over here to get away from those morons, I don't know
Again, I disagree. If a Duke fan posted in a Duke thread on THR, and did not insult anyone or the team, I don't think they would have been banned.
We all know that's not true. Now your credibility here is gone.
It is true. And I had no credibility here as soon as it became known that I'm a UNC fan.
