Wake Forest: 2021 NCAA tournament team

This is dry when Josh drives support as we are a great gas will marry Sean Clark who will join us in 30 minutes but we need to talk about cam Newton. I keep hearing all the Panthers screwed him if not for the Panthers EBR roster right now. I completely disagree whenever you a quarterback and accountant.

A radio host or whoever enters the job market.

It's all about who you know and who is willing to vouch for you. Quite simply, nobody is an cam's corner right now and that is the primary reason he remains unsigned familiarity. It's played a role in almost every single quarterback situation that's been addressed over the last two weeks. Brian Tannehill re-signed with the Tennessee Titans choosing familiarity over the unknowns of free agency. Nick falls the Eagles traded a comp or excuse me, the Bears traded the comp fourth round pick in order to bring him in Jacksonville. Why do you think they did that pretty much all the offense of coaches including head coach Matt Maggie have experience working with foals dating back to their days in Philadelphia and Nick falls being there, and his first step they knew what they were getting in foals they could vouch for him.

Taira Taylor, the charger said a week and 1/2 ago after losing out on the Brady sweepstakes hey were just gonna move forward the charges that were going to move forward, tie rod, as our guy will be going to draft the quarterback at number six, but Taira is going to be our guy. Anthony lends the head coach of this team. Do you know where he was before becoming the head coach of the Chargers.

He was the offense of coordinator and assistant head coach for Taira Taylor's Buffalo Bills tie rod took the bills to the playoff tie rod went to a propyl the same year. Cam Newton was the MVP of the league tie rod made it to a propyl in 2015. Look at the Carolina Panthers decision statement look at all the acquisitions and free agency even before that acquiring Russell Okun traded away Trey Turner apparently was looking for a contract extension.

They bring in Russell Okun from the Chargers.

The offense of line coach he worked with there.

Pat Meyer is the new Panthers overlying coach Teddy Bridgewater, why do you think he took just a three year contract around $20 million a year to be with the Panthers a new Job rate Joe Brady was very well-liked when he was with the saints before he became the pass again coordinator at LSU and now is the Panthers OC PJ Walker to hear Whitehead Robbie Anderson all Panthers signees all temple guys who know Matt rule.

There were two people who seem to be closest to cam's block who we all thought work in cam's corner, Ron Rivera, the head coach of the Redskins. Scott Turner was the quarterbacks coach last year in Charlotte.

Now is the OC and DC those to collectively thought it was a better decision for the Redskins to bring in Kyle Allen then cam now listen to what I'm telling you, just because I said they chose Kyle Allen over Kant doesn't mean Allen's a better quarterback than cam is it's just a better value for where there at an organization that's paying more than $32 million this year to Alex Smith is trying to come back from injury.

Draft of the quarterback in the first round last year and Duane Haskins trying to bring him along. It's already a jampacked quarterback room bringing cam which is muddy. Everything. Also, they don't really have the salary-cap space to do that.

Allen started games. He understands what Rivera is trying to do, how he operates and he's getting paid close to half $1 million this year as a much better value than what you would have to pay for camp even if it's between five to $10 million, but when they trade away 1/5 round draft pick for Allen and make no move on cam I could see that spooking a lot of teams that might've considered signing Maybe even the Chargers hold a minute Rivera and Turner there not to bring them into DC when they could've gotten them for 1/5 round draft pick.

Maybe there's something here that I don't know about familiarity is such an important thing in the business world like I haven't told this story on air, but the a big part of the reason I'm talking to you right now at this job is just connected to you know I didn't know the general manager at the time when he brought me in.

But when there became an opening. He reached out to three or four broadcasters in this state and all of them said, hey, have you talked to this Josh Graham guy does radio in eastern North Carolina. That was my in and here I am. It's about who you know who Kim vouch for you and the people on cam's corner it there. There is anybody right now but that doesn't mean somebody is it going to take a chance since familiarity is a strong factor. I can't rule out the Denver Broncos or the Buffalo Bills members quarterback coach is Mike Shula who was the OC on that 15 Panthers team even though they have a young quarterback right now that they like and true lot, they might take a shot having a veteran come in see what happens there. They had Joe Flack go there last year to lock. He still has some things to prove then you got the Buffalo Bills can't really rule out the bills because Brandon being those cam as the general manager who was the assistant GM to Gettleman you got McDermitt Ken Dorsey's the quarterbacks coach who was cam's first QB coach before Shula was in that role. So there are so many former Panther coaches you got former Panther players in Buffalo, all of which Kim vouch for what cam can do. It is best and might be willing to take a swing there. So those are two more teams you potentially could add to the pot, whom I take a shot at cam your thoughts are welcome on the show at sports of dryad on twitter. Where do you think cam's going to end up 336-777-1600 is the phone number Sean Clark to join us in over 20 minutes just a little over 20 minutes. He zapped states head football coach Michael Jordan shifting things he's going to save America and save American sports. With the announcement ESPN put out late last night. Or I think Andrew March on broke it from the New York Post and then it was announced officially this morning on Disney property good morning America, the Michael Jordan 10 part series is going to be moved up April 19. That's when this thing's going to start. I was a little confused by it.

At first I thought it was interesting hey Juergen have a 10 part documentary series launch four days before the draft if they were gonna roll it out the way they rolled out OJ a few years ago.

Okay Juergen I have each part of the series rollout each day of the week. While that seems it would overlap with a lot of your draft coverage but the way they're doing it. Seeing places like Virginia which is going to be shut down in a shelter order until June 10. In other states till the end of May or in mid-May.

They are rolling this thing out over a five week stretch where Sunday night, April 19, there will be the debut episode, then the second episode 9 o'clock and then 10 o'clock the next week they will rerun episodes one into leading up to 9 o'clock and run episodes three and four so on and so forth. For the next five weeks so that essentially covers the end of April and almost all of May and the hope for the MBA.

The hope for sports fans like baseball as well.

What things to get back to normal again with the NFL calendar. Is that something gets cleared up that things get cleared up and we can start playing sports again in the month of June. That is the optimistic look of things, that's all you're optimistic about it and were to have this documentary covered it every single corner man, how big do you think this is going to get Robert. Robert was the producer of the show Aaron Gabriel in the control room as well. The way I see it is it's going to be sports Tiger King. That's what it is MJ's going to be Joe exotic Scottie Pippen's going to be Dr. Antal and who would be Carol Baskin Dennis Rodman yes Aaron no Dennis Roma's low whose hated on the Bulls team is not longer.

Look longingly, Carol, Baskin, who Steve Kerr who still Jackson Joe exotic husbands all, it's quite a spin on it, everybody's gonna be discussing this. This is going to be massive like I'm so hopeful now for the next month where we could have Tiger versus filled to and pay per view Tom Brady and Peyton Manning might be involved with that I'll tell you more about that in five minutes the NFL draft is gonna go on April 23 through the 25th through the 26th and also you got this documentary that's getting moved up and it's going to be across five weeks. The NFL just announced they're going to have their schedule release 16 games made the night so they are operating off season the off-season, the way they would normally and that's kind of what we need right now. So Robert, I have a feeling this is gonna be massive. This is going to be everybody's at home. It's Michael Jordan.

Everybody's involved in it, you're not guaranteed people being home and people watching. During the summer where this is gonna drop in June this is almost a perfect scenario for viewership and an interest or a Michael Jordan documentary series yet.

I think it could eat the ceiling could actually be the roof and out he couldn't be television and radio either you to be better than OJ do I think it's gonna, I really do.

Less time is past people were confined to their houses to be more buildup. More discussion around it so I'm so fascinated by it. Michael Jordan's going to save sports and save America, why Wake Forest will make the NCAA tournament in 2021 sounds a couple statement to appear on the drive, the life of the dry using the minds of the heart the bars filled with Josh Graham sports hub triad going on the air yesterday.

Wake Forest added Houston Baptist Brad transfer key and walked to his backcourt you all, the Houston Baptist jokes that you have and that I've seen the last 24 hours, but as that was happening wake also lost Ron Wright Junior to the transfer portal and while Wright showed some promise and joints fellow shooting guard Michael Wynn among those choosing to depart wake earlier this month. I believe the demon deacons got better this week on paper. Wake Forest is an NCAA tournament team for 2021 I think again on paper they are better than the 2017 team that had John Collins on this because college he was a first-team all ACC guy, but this way team they have to all ACC caliber players and Olivier Saar, who was all ACC last season and 20 Brown who I believe probably would've been that if he wasn't injured as often as he was so 2017 also had a good Brian Crawford year where he averaged over 16 points a game, but I would take the combination of Saar and John the over Collins and Brian Crawford. But here's the bigger difference between what I believe this 2021 team to be versus 2017 experience and maturity favors this team that were going to see next year. Assuming there are no more vast changes to the lineup in 2017 that they had just one senior and the eight-man rotation.

This one was one of the big their top three scores they were underclassmen, including of course Collins and Crawford. When you look at what's ahead in 2021. The three leading scores in all likelihood are going to be singers Brown Saar DuBois, who looking at his numbers. He's going to be everything Andrea and white. Was this past year, maybe even a little bit better than that.

So I like what he brings there is a MUC is she's a junior. There only to have one freshman in the rotation and he's good to be coming off the bench while he is an upgrade from to write to Ron Wright, Junior right. He has a higher ceiling because he is two years remaining on like the blob at the block he could start right now and he can be a major contributor. If your daddy Manning and Juergen to be rescued the same way you were with the leadership team last year and likely to be rescued just because the coronavirus has changed the world that we live in. Well, I want the guy who gives me the best chance to win next year. Not the one that has the higher ceiling give me the more polished product today. DuBois is that so the starting five or Wake Forest. It's gonna look something like Jacoby need at point guard DuBois shooting guard John B. Brown at the three Isaiah Musee Esser Odie Obama at the four and Olivier start the five that's a damn good lineup. I think that lineup over what NC states fielding the day that's not even a slight to the pack. II just like what Wake Forest is doing right now. Point guard is the wildcard position here.

Understandably, that's not a place you have questions replacing Brandon Childress. It's gonna be the big question, but I believe Jacoby may, he started to figure things out towards the end of last year's first 25 games as a freshman he didn't have one double figure scoring game. His last six games with the dates he had for double figure scoring. At he does take bad shots doesn't take a lot of them. He's efficient as a score and I'm hearing good things about Marcus Watson as well. Who is this freshman coming in out of Chicago. Some places have them as a four-star others with three-star top 40 player so he's good to be a part of the rotation to he's a little bit dynamic so it's good to beneath and Watson at the point guard spot deposit the two. There is a lot of scoring on this team.

I think Ishmael Massoud can play the two Johnny Brown to play at that spot versatile players who could play the two or the three UCS is naturally a three but he played a lot before last year of Glamis started there as well. I think this is a flexible wake team. I think this is the most talented wake team, but Danny has on paper. They are an NCAA tournament team that were to be joined by State head football coach John Clark in 10 minutes. Another headline from last night Tom Brady and Peyton Manning might be going head-to-head on the lakes. You may have heard Tiger Woods, Phil Mickelson. They been discussing having a second matchup. Remember that a first one that I thought was just ill-conceived. It's not a bad idea. It was more the timing but I had an issue with it. They decided to have this paper review ballot where they go head-to-head in the weekend after Thanksgiving. Like if you are tiger or fill. How does neither of you think.

Why would we have this head-to-head paper view the same week and there's college basketball college football NFL football NBA basketball. Why would we choose a weekend in the month of October and November were literally things of the most competitive why would we choose any of those two months. It didn't make much sense.

Golf is one of the few sports you could actually pull off right now. In fact there are probably people listening to this show while on the golf course you can stream it on the sports triad at strongly suggest doing that. If not, listen to the best of podcasts. A good way to catch a show as well, but all this up and you could pull off.

You could have fewer than five people in the same space tiger you got Phil Mickelson be further than 6 feet apart and they need to have playing partners to try and rope, and as many people as possible so Brady versus Manning seems to be the route that they're going to be taking. It's the perfect time for a tiger.

The woods are tiger V. Phil matchup if it was tiger versus dark tiger.

I think it would be even more interesting.

Or maybe Tiger Woods versus Joe exotic would you watch that on paper view for sure. I think Joe exotic have pretty good swinger adding Brady and Manning. It's a masterstroke people who are football fans there going to be in on this, but I do find it interesting here. I was watching the natural last week and I started thinking if you were going to make this movie that so much about. It is the idolatry of it like the way we worship sports fans at sports or sports athletes in an and celebrity could you make that movie a baseball and make it believable. In 2020.

If you were to set it in today's eight now.

I think those players, basketball players now do you think Brady and Manning are the two best athletes you could pull to join Tiger and Phil Mickelson. If your goal is to get the most people interested possible because I think you could do better than that and basketball. I don't know if the bronze much of a golfer but I know Michael it. I know Michael Jordan is. I know Steph Curry is too damn good golfer staff.

If you had MJ and Steph Curry there with Phil in Tiger. I think that does better than even Peyton versus Brady yes there Alexi Charles Barkley, I know, I know that would be bad for comedic value. I'm telling you that MJ and staff. They can actually go off and you know you need to broadcast this paper view – how did they not get this on network TV. What would networks be willing to pay for sports content right now.

That's life. CBS, NBC, Fox, I would go head-to-head the diskette of photo paper view here get Tony Romo and Jim Nance to broadcast this play. I know Nance is a good swig, Tony Romo is one of the best major sport athletes who play golf and could do so at the professional level if he was already a world-class broadcaster or football player and he will tour so that's the guy. Maybe Romo's just too good. Whoever you lineup next to him whether it's Brady man, it would just be unfair.

I did watch one of Payton's places that show they have on ESPN. Plus and its Brady and Manning at Jim Nance's house and they're just chipping shots and both of them seem to have good swings Brady. He's a California guy you could do it at Pebble Beach.

You could also. That's where Phil Mickelson's from Tiger Woods California so that just seems to be the natural golf course fit there so that's up with the consider will see when those details get completely ironed out. But what I would want to see.

I think MJ and staff would do more for the event in terms of the interest surrounding get them Brady and Manning standing next to Tiger and Phil, but the timings a lot better than it was for the first than the first paper view Nance and Romo get them on the call because it fills a Masters void that's that's been left the Masters is not to be held this weekend, but the following weekend and of course that's not can happen anymore.

They're looking at the fall to potentially hold that event all right at State head coach Sean Clark.

He's going to update us on what exactly is happening with his mountaineers amid this crisis. Next on the drive home or will be enjoined by I think I can say Tar Heel legend. Even though it's only been a few years. Joel very joining us from the Greensboro swarm. I think if your name is in the rafters of the Smith Center.

It qualifies but Joel just that Senate is coming out of my mouth Tar Heel legend Joel Barry does that resonate it all with you a little bit but I don't think you hear me until I mowed.

That's their so you and your team. It's Jeff Roberson right that your to be teaming up with her getting involved with the NBA 2K league three for all showdown do I have that right. You and Jeff get her. Oh my gosh this. This is going to be something if you don't know about this on the PlayStation for it's good to be Joel and one of his teammates.

It's Jeff with the swarm and they're going to be in a three for all showdown the teams get to be called sly unit here to be a part of team that also has a ceiling member from the Phoenix Suns.

Here's what I got to know the when you're looking at playing in this 2K league.

How much did your dramatic overtime showdown with our assistant producer Sawyer Dylan build your confidence.

For this moment. It would give hello Paris I give pre-pre-warm-up for you hello you van so you working on my game quite if he ever will can get it out of my is definitely help me prepare you more dangerous on the PlayStation for I am a lot more dangerous on there because I know no, all controlled in everyday hello all of you so you play again. Fourth, all I think you'll be all about that he/she says that there is also where he said he was just playing nice and then I went over time, and he figured out a way to take care of business Joel Barry with the zero so three years ago today it's March 31 of 2017 Marin scenics, and it's the day before the final four. What do you remember about your preparation that week leading up to facing Oregon and then do an Zagat in the championship game.

You will for me it was all there was me. Yeah, for me it was valid, vandalism, ankle injury, and so I was doing everything that I could care to all to be able to get out there and on and play close to 100%, but not all the way in all this finish time, my family, they were able to come up a little bit earlier Phoenix and so I got a chance, new and get out and about. So that was what I was doing. How much more nervous were you your before Houston. I was out with a few more butterflies and a lot of excitement is the first time they are implanted in such a big arena like that and all everything that led up to it. It was you know is you. If you lead you to your community is just allotted a they make you do leading up to the game is just crazy how much goes on, but all men, so the second year I was a little bit more, call in and actually use to self because a lot of people forget even though you lost to Villanova and that's happy to give you actually played very well right right I your third man everyone remembers more is what he was struggling to drop a shot that entire gave but I think everyone to remember Marcus's shot followed by Chris Jenkins and Tar Heel fans in a blog. Most of them out of their memory because the year after you guys cut down the nets and scenics. But when you win a national championship. How do you celebrate that night. I mean, do you sleep though we didn't get any sleep at night. Think we actually got there probably about an hour before we got on our flight so all the hours leading that our sleep for the arts and is able to find teammates and we enjoyed it quite a bit. How excited how excited are you from the Jordan dock, which was announced. It's being moved up see you play in the hornets organization the head man's Michael Jordan April 19.

This documentary just got moved up to 10 part series on MJ.

How excited are you for a tryout. Make sure you have been watching any of the on the type of God. A life you know commercial lot alike have no way to whole. We told her something to come out like binging it all. I love the show.

Waiting for all of this so I can just been watching all the way through.

You have a good story from your days with the Tar Heels or even playing course for the Greensboro swarm, though I know Jordan is in his own way to have some disappointment throughout his career. All and sometimes where it was a little bit hard to know from me and not necessarily get a chance to see him play.

You know I really didn't need him loose lose anything so he came in after our national championship game. All will be locked.

Villanova and we were all fly out. He comes in each of the guys look at and listen to me and the first thing that he said it would. From my personal experience, you know, understand your pain and time if you resonate with me within me at the exit. I realize how does Michael Jordan commanded how, when, literally, you have the most face will career out a unique NBA player and really didn't lose any. How can he come in and out of her mouth moving in a game like so their storage is always just like man I don't understand how he could come in and be able to sleep it is about knowing that knowing that he rarely ever lost during his career. That is crazy Joel Barry with this really neat story there from the 2016 finals.

Well you guys down stacks.

Maybe something worked fine in terms of the advice. The next year, but you say you guys your binging television type of person you have a little bit of time to sit back been some TV and some movies are going to be a part of the NBA 2K league that we've been talking about here. It is the free-for-all showdown in Europe, or of sly unit along with your teammate Jeff Roberson but give me the show that you been binging or have danced the last few weeks year so far started watching a thing in life, no clips of anything stuff on twitter and all her people are talking about a way that all probably wanted to funnier show that I've ever washed on me and I can figure out washday all day and just laugh your character and why like I'm surprised I thought, with the set up there, you see a lot of things on Twitter you were going to say Tiger King no show.

It was crazy for you to finish the whole thing Carol basket until her husband and ceded to the Tigers. I think she did.

I think they have been investigated ever.

I think that's what have I got news for you yesterday they announced that they have re-open reopen that cold case. In 1997 while I'm sure that you show I mean the way that they were talking about it on me in a comment kinda looks like she just wish he did for the following right exactly: we were excited for you working a room for you the same way we root for the swarm the same way that we roots of the hornets working to keep an eye on what's happening with sly unit were to catch up with you throughout, so I appreciate you spending time here is always in the triad. Be safe and well and thanks for the time you're very thank you for having me and would try to make and you guys stay safe and will
