UNC Football, Charlotte Hornets, & the Carolina Hurricanes...

Mack Brown met the media today….

-Negative recruiting against UNC and he said that many of the coaches who said he was going to quit got fired, so maybe they should have been worrying about their own teams….

-Drake Maye is the jewel.

-Still hate the schedule?

-Future of College Football?

Nick Saban is relitigating the 2022 season….and that’s always productive…

• Are we really getting the best teams into the playoff?

• His basis is that he read that Vegas would have had Alabama as the favorite over 3 of the other 4 teams – obviously, Georgia would have been favored (OSU, MICH, TCU).

• But, maybe this is too basic and it doesn’t need mentioning, but not only doesn’t the betting favorite matter, but the results of the games matter the most.

• FACT: Alabama lost twice IN THE DIVISION (Tennessee and LSU).

• When we get to 12 team playoff, what will be the excuse?

The NBA draft is on Thursday and the Charlotte Hornets have the 2nd overall pick….

• We know Victor Wembenyama is going to be the first pick and headed to San Antonio.

• Now the Hornets come in and there are three ways you can go….

• Scoot Henderson, a slashing point guard with a suspect perimeter shot who played for G-League Ignite.

• Brandon Miller, a 6-9 wing from Alabama with a great outside shot.

• A trade?  Could it be Zion Williamson?

• I think the move depends on what you think of LaMelo Ball.

Michael Jordan sold most of his ownership stake in the Hornets and in 13 years he turned a $275 million investment into a $3 billion sale price.  

• But, for someone who is wildly considered the best player in the history of the sport, how do you figure that he just wasn’t able to get off the ground as an owner.

• This isn’t coaching?  This is owning?  Running the team?

There are 4 players that might end up on the move this week or this summer…

• Draymond Green opted out 

• Bradley Beal was traded for Chris Paul, who has now been dealt 5 times in a hall of fame career.  Two of the last three times he was essentially dumped (HOU to OKC for Russ, and this latest one).

• Damian Lillard and Kyrie Irving are also going to be in a news a lot this summer.

• Dame is probably going to get traded and Kyrie is headed for UFA

There is a warming hot stove for the Carolina Hurricanes as we head towards next week’s NHL draft….

• Goalies?

• Pesce?

• Aho contract?

• Staal/Fast?
