Wake insider breaks down Andrew Carr's game

What stood out to me is the section discussing how his coach at WF posted him up and they got the win, in large part, to Carr’s paint dominance over Mitchell.

The author speculates that Pope may not use him like that, and for most games I agree, I think Pope will use him as a stretch 4/5. However, if we’re playing a team with weak interior D two things:

1) the staff and team will know about this weakness ahead of time since Pope actually scouts his opponents (or has someone on his staff scout them) and watches/discusses film with the team.
2) Pope will switch his offense to maximize his players’ and team’s strengths and to exploit the opposing team’s weaknesses.

Carr is huge get and his ability the stretch the floor or post up will make him a match-up nightmare for most defenses. If we get some more big names we could come in the season ranked top 5 and very easily be one of the top offensive teams in the nation.

I really want 3 out of 4 of:
Davis
Brea
Mahaney
Smith

Definitely wishful thinking but with 2-3 out of those 4 I do think everything I mentioned before will come to be.

Mahaney Commitment Watch

I’m so happy right now with the state of the program, I’ve just been reading the news and smiling. Mahaney would be the best news yet.

I’m confident Pope understands the assignment and I’m more than confident Alvin Brooks has done the assignment before, we’re here to win championships.

I might go to every game in Lexington this year, I’m up the wall right now and we aren’t even done building the roster.
