About this episode
The episode discusses the potential of UNC's frontcourt and the recruitment of Brice Dessert to complement Sayon Keita.
Michael Malone is working hard and fast to pivot following Henri Veesaar's decision to leave for the NBA. He's already gotten commitment from two different frontcourt players this week including the high upside of Sayon Keita. Can the staff pair a frontcourt starter-level player with Keita who complements his skill sets? Seems like France's Brice Dessert could be a great option in that regard. Will UNC add any more backcourt pieces? If they do, what's more necesaary - a shooter or a distributor? The NCAA Tournament is expected to expand. We need Coach Rob's thoughts. PLUS, if these high major commissioners want more spots, shouldn't it be their teams that occupy them, not the AQs?
