UNC Basketball 2023-2024

Bacot back he had nowhere else to go

Europe didn't even want him??

Had nowhere else to go is right. I feel like that's the key for continuity, get productive college players who are missing that bit that would make them appeal to the NBA.

 

[sivartrenrag]

I'm ok with it. This is definitely the funniest and most embarrassing outcome for him and UNC in general imo.

 

[aiw]

Even Bacot understands how sad this is.

We tried that and they still leave after one year :/

 

[aiw]

And Perry Ellis just looked old. He only played 4 years.

 

[rhfarmer]

As much as I want to jump on the Hate All Things UNC train, regarding Bacot, oh wait what am I talking about, fuck him to the moon for that presser alone where he made fun of an injured player. He's basically Van Wilder at this point.

He just producted them to the NIT.

If you want continuity, there's a lot of it in the Summit League/

They are losing a total of 7 players from last year's roster, btw

 

[best4heisman]

Jokes aside, this does suck. Obviously they have a lot of roster building left to do but Bacot raises both the floor of this team and the ceiling if they put the right pieces around him.

 

[DurhamSon]

COVID year is a joke.

What did UNC lose from the COVID year anyways? They didn't even have enough wins to qualify for the NIT or CBI. Their season ended at exactly the same time it would have otherwise

 

[DurhamSon]

UNC's NIL game is a lot better than ours though. They are getting Paolo/Lively level $$$ for players who won't sniff the league like Bacot and it shows. Eight/Nine figure net-worth Duke alums with how rich they are seem to be some combination of indifferent/lazy in comparison. Rachel whatever isn't doing her job, unless it's really as pointless as working out meager $100,000 deals for Flip to make instagram posts about some local food truck company

Armando Bacot was the 27th ranked recruit. He averaged 9.6 ppg and 8.3 reb on 46.9% shooting as a freshman.

Mark Mitchell was the 20th ranked recruit. He averaged 9.1 ppg and 4.5 reb on 46.9% shooting as a freshman.

UNC is getting a 5th year of Bacot. We're sitting here just hoping we get a 2nd season of Mark Mitchell, despite scouts being completely uninterested in him just like they were in Bacot.

 

[aiw]

Once UNC gets to 8 losses, Mondo will own the record

Is it? Bacot has gotten a lot deals but has anyone else?

Who else have they had since this started two years ago that was worth paying though? At least among their returnees. Bacot is basically it; he would have left after 2021 if not for NIL money.

Meanwhile we can't find a nickel for players who are willing to take their chances in the 2nd round

 

[2001Dukechamps]

This is ridiculous.
UNC just got an "All-American" back for a 5th fucking year and we're annually held by the balls over the decisions of Keels/Mitchell tier teenagers who NBA scouts don't give a shit about.

 

[physicsfactor]

Why be worked up about it? We all knew he would return last year, and we all knew he would return this year. He has nowhere to go.

 

[SeanMayTriedToEatMe]

As long as he doesn’t shoot 3s, he is better than nothing at best, and possibly harmful. These non-NBA-talent garbage man bigs just don’t matter.

Was it him, or was it Caleb Love that did that.
