I looked over the players who could come back for a 5th year. Do you think ANY of them make an WNBA roster or even drafted? I don't watch ACC WBB unless their playing an SEC team or at tournament time. Those names just don't resonate with me as these girls are not known nationally. I take that back, I've heard of Olivia Cochran.

Amoore from VPI probably gets drafted. Westbeld from ND... Utsby probably woud get drafted, but I think she already stated that she is returnimg to school.

Utsby gets criticized by coach...and fans...but gives 100% every game. I think she'd look great in the Red and White, if she wants to come back for a 5th year!

Utsby is a player every team needs. The negative vibes about her are because she never has developed any sort of offense. She can’t shoot. Her shot has not improved - in fact she doesn’t even try 3s any more. She was never a big threat from 3 but attempted 125 in her first 3 years for Chapel Hill making them around 30%. This year she is 0-6.

Idk if that’s Banghart telling her not to shoot that again or her just taking it upon herself not to. But a little odd. She’s also a career 57% FT shooter.

But she does everything else other than shoot it. Defense. Rebound. Blocks. Steals. Assists. She essentially averages a double double. I’d love a player like that on my team. I think she just gets banged on because she never progressed as a scorer/shooter and it’s magnified because Chapel Hill really lacks that. Kelly is that player for them but she’s not efficient and takes too many shots. They really need more offensive fire power and that’s just not who Utsby is - but it’s lacking on the team so I think maybe she becomes a scapegoat at times.

Fans trying to fit a square peg in a round hole.

Or hey, maybe we should scrutinize banghart a little here and wonder why she hasn’t been able to develop Utsby or Kelly into more efficient offensive players over the last 4 years. ;)

ESPN projects Amoore as a top 10 pick. Some other site I saw listed Kelly and Utsby as being 2nd round picks but I also question that site as they listed Diamond Johnson as a NCSU player being picked as well and she doesn’t even play for State anymore.

I do know this. I hope Hayes returns for State. I don’t think she would be drafted or anything, but she would be a massive piece back for the Pack next year. Her and Caitlyn Clark are the only 2 players in the country shooting over 40% from 3 and averaging over 6 boards a game. Odd stat for sure, but she is a someone who isn’t flashy and won’t make a ton of highlight level plays but just gets it done game in game out.

She’s currently 44% from 3 and 7 rebounds a game in conference play, which apparently has never been done before in P5.

Come here for ACC talk, stay for Regional BBQ suggestions :rolleyes:

Anyway.,,,

I would love for Brown to come back, but she already said at the beginning of the year that this was her last season.






I know the whole state of SC doesn't use mustard, but the fact that even some places in the state do has turned me off from ever eating any bbq in SC. With ONE exception. I've heard read about Rodney Scott BBQ, and I put it on my list of places to check out iif I ever venture to that part of the state.

I've been to Memphis several times, and not once did I ever have beef bbq, didn't even look to see if that was an option or not.

This post by Mitchell is inaccurate. Brown cannot return for a 5yr. She would have loved to come back. Players who redshirted the 20-21 covid season DO NOT get the extra year. Really bad luck for those kids!

I don’t know where you get that she and Clark are the only two players in the country shooting over 40% from 3. Oh. Okay. I gues I misread because you add AND average over 6 boards. Never mind. Carry on.

Nothing close to official here, but the word on the street is that Cochran may be returning, How's that for a "definite maybe?"

Ok. I didn't think she had eligibility left so that tweet confused me. I know she gets flack at times, but i love her being on the team. She would be perfect for us next year as Roberson learns the ropes.

I agree. It really is too bad. We will miss her presence next year.

I have noticed that MNortham isn't the best at tracking details like this.....

He is a good twitter follow for the most part. He isn't much of a fan of Duke. But that's just my opinion.

Is the conference have a fund raiser by fining coaches?

He appears to be a bit of a Chapel Hill fan from what I can gather. But maybe my tin foil hats radar is off.

I haven't noticed that, but maybe that is why his info is frequently wrong about our program...he doesn't care enough to look it up! Whatever the reason, he just seems lazy to me
 
UNC visits lowly Wake Forest today. Could it be the day Wake gets its first conference win?

He always overranks Chapel Hill on his AP Ballot. This week he had them at #10 and State at #11. With a 15-8 record and losers of 4-5 straight. He also had Uconn at 7, Ohio State at 9, VPI at 17 and Florida State at 22. :eek:

Even though Duke had the better season last year, I don't think he ever had them higher than Chapel Hill on any ballot... All season.

Lazy and inconsistent is a better way to describe him. He seems like he could be a decent writer if he tried.

Wait … he had UNC ranked 10 THIS week??? That can’t be accurate.

Now i feel kinda bad .. Cause I think he's a good dude. For the most part.
 
Virginia Tech is looking pretty good to me, dismantling Louisville on the road. Kitley and Amoore are doing pretty much whatever they want to.
 
VT wins 86-70. Amoore and Kitley each score 20+ points.

The one where they beat your team? Amoore had a miserable game, but Kitley was a stud and they found a way to win.

You keep setting yourself up my friend. It's pretty easy to take pot shots at your team with their, uh, irregular performances and results throughout the year.

VPI is good, but they are soft. A tough defensive squad with athletes can give them trouble. In two games vs us they have scored 107 points total. I definitely wouldn't mind another match up in Greensboro. Antonielli was saying how tough Louisville's defense was, but they got lit up for 86 points. I think they have another loss coming this regular season.

We haven't had an irregular performance in quite some time..... hoping one doesnt come on Monday night.

I'm sure you've watched them more than I have. That's not really what I thought of them today.

Well after the first matchup last year, and the first matchup this year, both in Durham. Their coached whined and complained in the press about our physical play. I remember in last year's game in Durham, Kitley's mother looked like she wanted to jump out of the stands and complain to the refs face to face about her daughter's treatment in the post.
