Basically telling him that a spot will be open for him to walk in and play right away. Coaching staff selling the UNC vision quite well. Will the distance be too big of a hurdle for a family that is so close? Really interesting to see what happens here. Indiana in as good of a spot as they have been but credit UNC for doing some good stuff here. As I've said all along the two biggest obstacles to us landing KBJ are Jerome Hunter and Justin Smith.

Danomatic Posted October 17, 2018 Report Share Posted October 17, 2018 I still anticipate a monstrous season for Smith and can see him playing his way into the first round!! There’s also a good chance Hunter plays a lot of the 2 guard as well. There will be PLENTY of PT for Brooks!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Appreciate the insight, but if the #8 team convinces Brooks that he would play more there than on the #25 team, they are doing strong work. Granted, both UNC and IU will look different next year but I'm having a hard time believing they don't maintain enough talent to create a PT opportunity no better than at IU.

FKIM01 Posted October 17, 2018 Report Share Posted October 17, 2018 ...and seriously...how on earth do intelligent players buy into that "garsh-golly-gee-pass-me-another-Coca-Cola" line of BS?

OGIUAndy Posted October 18, 2018 Report Share Posted October 18, 2018 I don't know if what Roy does is much worse than the God fearing stuff that Crean did. I bet that turned off some recruits more than you think. Not everyone is all about Jesus all the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This will piss a lot of people off... but I heard from a former manager that the over-the-top religious stuff was just an act Crean put on to get Zeller, lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crean himself made reference to cleaning up his language around the time he was recruiting Zeller. I don't doubt he's generally a God-fearing man, but I also don't doubt he was on his best behavior around the Zellers. ...and in reference to @OGIUAndy, I'd guess it helped more than it hurt, but without a doubt, it likely turned at least a few recruits off, especially if they saw him get overly zealous about it. I have a personal rule about not using Christianity to sell. That always set off warning flags for me when I was on the receiving end. First question I have when someone lays the holy roller act on me is "what are you hiding?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
