Well, LG made her decision and we must move on. As a postered stated earlier this is portal era moving forward. A lot of good players and elite players are moving and shuffling around now. I am not going to feel sad about LG and anybody else who decides to transfer out because this is the norm that we are in and a lot of players and teams are losing their coaches, best players, etc. This is how it is now. They all are trying to get more NIL money, etc. Some of these players are going to be making more money that some of us who are fans. Nobody feels sorry for us that we have to work a 9 to 5 job, etc. This is the norm now. This is the real world. You have to be glad that she played for us for two years and TH play one year and wish them the best.
Official Player Return/Departure Thread
- Thread starter Carolina151
- Start date
If (when) it happens, expect us to be a major player with Aaliyah Crump. We almost landed her out of HS last year. If she enters the portal this year or next, expect us to make a major push.
Unofficial return for Blanca. Here’s her instagram post and Coach Banghart’s comment on it. Blanca’s dad has also been liking a ton of UNC related stuff on Twitter.
People seem to forget, like Reniya, Blanca was injured lots this year. Give her some grace. Let her work out the kinks!!
CONFIRMED: Ciera Toomey is returning to Carolina!
You are very optimistic, which I hope you are correct in your assessment. Been saying this for a while it will surprise me if Reniya ever returns to the player she was before the injuries. Verdict is still out of Blanca not sure if working out the kinks is an accurate assumption. But in all fairness wishing for the best, and hope she improves.
I still have a lot of hope for Blanca. I know she has potential, I have seen glimpses of it. It really is up to her. How bad does she want. Need to get PsychoT to have some heart to heart with her.
Well, I hope she will put the time in working on her game, but as I said on the other threads, she will be a junior. How much time is there for her to work out the Kinks. IMO, time is running out. There are two McDonalds AA who just decommitted from the commitments. They both showed out at the McDonalds AA game with Kate. I would go after them as well.
At this point you have to concede that she has a low ceiling as a player and try to upgrade. The goal is to have a better team next year.
CONFIRMED: Blanca Thomas is returning to Carolina!
I really hope it’s a stud 4 to replace Harris!
Agree, ideally we would get a starting 4, starting 5 and a back up G (Can we trust Kelly’s health?)
PG: Kate, Kelly
SG: Elina, Portal
SF: Brooks, Hull
PF: Portal, TQ
C: Portal, Toomey
Zubich, Bonfia, Thomas, Astakahova is good depth with potential.
I wish Geno would retire and Sarah would decide to come play with Kate.
SS playing with Kate and the rest of the Tar Heel WBB Team would be the ultimate dream come true.
Geno needs to retire based on his recent blow up. JMO

Best of luck to Nyla Harris. Wish we could've had her longer!
It may have only been one year but Nyla is going on my list of favorite Tar Heels.
Everything pointing towards Elina and Zubich returning as well.
Carolina151, what position do you think or are you hearing we need a player.
in your opinion do we have a chance for the VA point guard? Thanks in advance

Elina back is huge. I love Lainey, but I think Elina has a higher ceiling. She can be all-ACC next year.
TJLB13NC this is going to be a problem moving forward. You and I are both in agreement on that fact. If we want to go beyond the sweet 16 than something is going to have to give and compete for ACC championships, the top brass is going to have help CB by giving her more NIL money to work with . We all know or should know after watching this year that the final four teams were way above the rest of the field as far as talent was concerned. I have to give Duke credit. Their football team won the ACC championship game. Both the men's and women's teams both won the ACC conference and the ACCT this year which indicates that they are pumping NIL money into these 3 major teams. If we want to keep up with Duke, ND, and Louisville in women's basketball then Steve, Bubba, and the Chancellor are going to have to help CB out by giving her more money to help out with NIL. They are pumping out money for football and for men's basketball. Michael is going to get paid over 8 million dollars a year. People are criticizing about the pitching in baseball. Here again the Megan and her staff are doing the best that they can without any or little help from our brass with NIL money to bring top notch pitchers in. Our fans cannot get mad when the other schools are pumping money into the softball programs like Clemson, FSU, here again Duke, Stanford. These teams will always be at the top of the conference because they have decided to give their teams money to bring in better pitchers. This the way that college sports is going. You either keep up or get left behind.
