u/UNCTARHEEL2005

2026 they were great but had some really bad luck in the final... 2027 they will be even better! They'll be stronger, wiser, and more determined to get what they came so close to winning! Does that sound familiar to anyone? I'm not real familiar with the transfer portal in baseball but I'd imagine they'd have to be a very popular destination for the best recruits & transfer players to come in next season after seeing Owen Hull come in and put up those kind of numbers,, the phenomenal pitching from freshmen, UNC's consistency of getting to the World Series, and getting to wear the best dam uniforms in baseball!!! (Those Carolina blue pinstripes are dope!) So they should have a great chance to pull off a 💎HEELS version REDEEM TEAM in 2027!!! Either way they were awesome this year and should be proud to get that close... that is probably the hardest dam chip to win in all of college sports!

When UNC announced Michael Malone as the new head coach reports started coming from everywhere that the hire had sparked NIL commitment amounts that would be able to match any program in the country, as they should have because Malone's first season as a college head coach at arguably the most popular program in NCAA basketball is absolutely critical for him to be able to attract the most talented recruits/transfers that he will need to put UNC back on top. His resumé alone is great and probably the best in the country, but it's a unique situation because it's all been in the NBA so nobody knows what to expect including potential recruits/transfers. So when I see that Veesaar was offered $2+ million less than other schools offered him to come back and that we are not even being considered a possibility by 90% of the top ranked transfers/recruits I can't help wondering wtf are they doing? The age of the blue bloods is over! These kids were not even born when MJ retired from the NBA the second time, they don't care where he went to college! Exposure has been neutralized by technology. The only thing most of these kids care about today is $ and the NBA. UNC needs to swallow their pride and open up their wallets or it'll never be on top again imo. Does anyone else feel or not feel the same? I'd love to hear your opinions on this off-season's moves.
