Slow first step at this stage but rumor has it his jumper is still wet.Yeah, Hurley should drive up to Danbury to meet with his family
Daggum Roy will turn that into Sweet 16, no doubt
Seriously. This board is insane. This guy has been to 2 National Championship games in the last 4 years (1-1), won two other titles, went to an additional Final Four and 2 additional E8s.You're suggesting that Roy "9 Final Fours" Williams is a tournament underachiever?
He gets elite players who sometimes stay eligible illegally. Never ending pipeline to Duke, Kansas, Kentucky and NC. He’s no Jim Calhoun.Seriously. This board is insane.

3 NCs
5
7 E8s
In 15 years at UNC. Pump that under-achieving straight into my veins!
Yet every Jim Calhoun team that ever won it all had multiple McDs All Americans, five star recruits, lottery picks, etc. Dumb post.He gets elite players who sometimes stay eligible illegally. Never ending pipeline to Duke, Kansas, Kentucky and NC. He’s no Jim Calhoun.

It may be a dumb post but our lord and savior Jim Calhoun never had the luxury of handpicking the talent that Roy does every year. Calhoun is a McDonald's franchise owner, Roy is Ray Kroc.Yet every Jim Calhoun team that ever won it all had multiple McDs All Americans, five star recruits, lottery picks, etc. Dumb post.
Funny how the board craps on every successful coach out there for not making the Final Four yet our lord and savior Jim Calhoun had a losing Elite 8 record. And our program as a whole can't figure out how to string together a winning season in this crap conference. There's only four spots. Cal, K, Izzo, Williams, Self, etc all can't make it every year. Dumb.

That national championship winning team in '17 had the (#9 overall #1 small forward) (#15 overall #3 small forward) (#16 overall #4 pf) (#25 overall #3 center) (#30 overall #4 point guard) (#48 overall #8 combo guard) (#58 overall #5 center) (#96 overall #30 shooting guard)From '15-'17 they didn't land a kid inside the top 25 recruiting rankings and they won the title in '17.

You don't really expect an answer to that question now do you? The BY is too busy arguing about JC versus Cryin RoyDoes this help us with Precious? Wasn't that their last two scholarships?
You made it out like it was some sort of unusual feat that Roy was able to win it all in 2017 with the talent he had. Obviously winning any championship is difficult but don't make it out like he wasn't doing it without a boatload of top high school talent... He had 5 McDonald's All-Americans on the team, something Calhoun could never dream of.So 1 top 10 kid on a 4 year recruiting cycle roster is handpicking any kids he wants?
UConn '04 had 1 top 10 kid and 3 top 24 kids. Same as that UNC team. Plus #34 and #41. So the UNC team had 1 extra top 25 guy from 4 classes.
Roy certainly has some years where he cleans up (and this year is looking like it). But he was hurt by the NCAA scandal, and still won during that span. He still had horses, but they had 1 top 10 recruiting class in the 5-year span from '13-'17 and it was exactly #10 in 2014.
And he was #1 in PAKE and had a .789% tournament win% (15-4) during that stretch ('13-'17) with 2 Final Fours and 1 title.

Thank you.Roy's 2009 UNC championship winning team had 8 McDonald's All-Americans.
So those two championship winning teams for Roy had as many McDonalds All-American players combined as Calhoun had in his whole career.
