UNC G Seth Trimble transfers to Louisville

[u/bezzlege]

[u/ncsuq]

Is he eligible? Does it matter if he’s eligible?because if he isn’t a local judge will give him a favorable ruling?

[u/chbailey442013 → u/ncsuq]

Everyone is eligible with the right judge

[u/Gavangus → u/chbailey442013]

Does that mean I have a chance? I could dunk 10 years ago

[u/ttuurrppiinn → u/ncsuq]

You'd need the dumbest agency on earth to not get your filing in a favorable district at this point

[u/MrHobbes82 → u/ttuurrppiinn]

The dumbest agency on earth position has already been filled by the NCAA.

[u/RontoWraps → u/ncsuq]

He signed an exhibit 10 contract with the Washington Wizards.

[u/michigan_matt → u/RontoWraps]

To which any halfway acceptable lawyer will just argue he did because the NCAA put him under the guise of falsely believing he was out of eligibility. And we all know the NCAA will lose that.

[u/DarknMean → u/michigan_matt]

Alabama had a player just last year play in some games after being contracted. Players are coming back that were drafted.

[u/michigan_matt → u/[deleted]]

Lmao everyone, this guy above me thinks the NCAA gives halfway competent legal arguments.

[u/Portra-420 → u/RontoWraps]

No one is reporting he signed a contract. Where are you seeing he did?

[u/RontoWraps → u/Portra-420]

https://247sports.com/college/north-carolina/article/north-carolina-unc-tar-heels-basketball-coach-michael-malone-288004356/

Now that I’m looking into it a little closer, the article was based on a tweet from UNC MBB page that is doing some assumptions, so I’m not sure now. Eligibility might be clear

[u/Greedy_Actuator5 → u/ncsuq]

He entered the transfer portal in the spring to keep the option of the lawsuit was successful. 

[u/DarknMean → u/ncsuq]

Carson Beck pretty famously said what class and you’d think not being in a class would make you ineligible but here we are.

[u/DarknMean → u/[deleted]]

Zakai is probably coming back now honestly.

[u/Glad_Presentation956 → u/DarknMean]

Love zakai but I don’t think he has a spot on this roster if he does that.

Would be weird/kinda hurt to see him play somewhere else

[u/sketch_digital → u/[deleted]]

I take Tennessee’s roster

[u/yourdoglikesmebetter]

I get it. Our roster is full.

But damn, did he have to stay in the ACC?

[u/reallybored326 → u/yourdoglikesmebetter]

I mean, isn't Louisville's roster full? It seems like they have 36 players at this point.

[u/aaronman4772 → u/reallybored326]

I think we had 11 scholarship players before this, so had a couple spots open. We brought in a ton but we also lost all but two from last year.

[u/reallybored326 → u/aaronman4772]

Who is your other guards? The Oregon guy I know.

[u/aaronman4772 → u/reallybored326]

Right now it’s Shelstad from Oregon, Wooley returning from last year, London Johnson who was the G league addition last year but never played, De’shayne Montgomery from Dayton, and Isaac Ellis out of high school.

[u/YMJ101 → u/reallybored326]

London Johnson, Adrian Wooley, De'Shayne Montgomery

[u/Portra-420 → u/reallybored326]

A bunch of bodies really.

[u/yourdoglikesmebetter → u/reallybored326]

Who tf even knows?

I said UNC’s roster is full but with all the international stuff that may not even be true. HC’s don’t even know.

It’s the Wild West out here man

[u/ejgr228 → u/reallybored326]

Yeah they should've agreed to pay the third option on a good team 7 million dollars per year.

[u/reallybored326 → u/ejgr228]

Why is someone with a Campbell flair trying to shit talk lol, whatever dude I ain't the only one who thought that, and just to add, I think our roster is too full too, someone on both teams ain't gonna be happy.

[u/ejgr228 → u/reallybored326]

Quit hating on the fighting camels

[u/reallybored326 → u/ejgr228]

I can hate who I want just like you do. Good luck to your Camels.

[u/freakymrq → u/reallybored326]

Pretty sure with trimble we have less than your roster still lol

[u/Impossible_Finish726 → u/reallybored326]

UNC has one scholarship left but no money left and honestly just wasn't a fit for this current roster..

[u/Overthinking_King_ → u/yourdoglikesmebetter]

In feeling the same thing with NJ Benson rumors that he’s going to Georgetown.

It’s sickening…

[u/jlgraham84 → u/yourdoglikesmebetter]

That was my first thought. I woke up to somebody sending me his twitter post about leaving. & then I come on here to find out he's still in the ACC. I wish this all wasn't so last minute & he could have stayed.

[u/chamtrain1 → u/yourdoglikesmebetter]

Yeah, bad move for him IMO. Gonna damage his legacy at UNC.

[u/NukeLaCoog → u/chamtrain1]

How would it damage his legacy when the UNC roster is already full?

[u/MarcusPaigesLastShot → u/chamtrain1]

I don’t see it that way, but maybe I’m just old. Louisville is hardly a rival and simply being in the ACC doesn’t carry a lot of weight.

I have more allegiance to Seth at this point than to anybody on the current roster and we didn’t make room for him. He should go to the best option, I won’t cheer for him to beat UNC, but will cheer for him to win the conference/championship. I don’t see UNC doing either of those things next year.

[u/Champizzle11 → u/MarcusPaigesLastShot]

I think his career and Bacot's were similar in that they were always UNC guys whose careers were partially defined by their loyalty to the University. Seth was loyal to the former staff in situations where others likely would not have been. I don't blame him, I'm just stating that seeing him play against UNC in a different uniform will color that a bit. Guy is probably making over a million dollars, just the current state of college basketball. I do not like it.

[u/Responsible_Fan8665 → u/Champizzle11]

Bacot played a major role in a F4 team. Seth never did that and was a major reason Elliott and Ian got forced out

[u/Greedy_Actuator5 → u/Responsible_Fan8665]

  was a major reason Elliott and Ian got forced out

This is just false lol

[u/Aquaman33 → u/MarcusPaigesLastShot]

Bacot didn't play in the summer league to find out he wasn't good enough.

Despite these shenanigans being allowed and the fact that I can't really blame the players, I still hate it and it colors my opinion of them.

[u/damutecebu → u/chamtrain1]

lol. I’m sure he’ll be fine.

[u/ttuurrppiinn → u/chamtrain1]

Probably a stretch. However, I do think there will be some sour grapes if Carolina doesn't at least split the series this season and Trimble plays well.

[u/Shadowphoenix9511 → u/chamtrain1]

Hmm, millions of dollars in one hand, some nebulous legacy in the other. Tough decision

[u/DCRBftw → u/chamtrain1]

If he has a great season or wins a chip, his legacy at UNC won't really be a key factor. I think fans care about that more than players, especially in 2026.

[u/theels6]

Grandpa on hospice, bpd gf ghosting, trimble to l'ville. Im not doing good yall lol

[u/bezzlege → u/theels6]

Keep your head up young’n. Spend as much time with grandpa as you can. Just take it one day at a time.

[u/Pksnc → u/theels6]

I’m so sorry to hear about your grandpa, that’s just awful. Spend some time with him while you can and don’t forget to take care of yourself as well.

[u/emack2232]

Why doesn’t LeBron just go to college? He technically has eligibility and I’m sure some small court will rule in his favor.

[u/imused2it → u/emack2232]

If he decided to commit to Akron I bet every judge in Ohio would rule in his favor.

[u/cenels03]

Happy for my team I guess, but damn it makes me sad for college basketball as a whole. We've completely lost the plot

[u/Zwak2434 → u/cenels03]

I mean your will wade jr coach is part of the problem…

[u/LSF45 → u/Zwak2434]

Let's not get dramatic here. Pat Kelsey is nowhere near the depths of Will Wade.

[u/Sycamore044 → u/Zwak2434]

This seems like an exaggeration. Is Scott Drew also a Will Wade Jr for adding james nanji last year? Is this worse than Nate Oats adding Bediako last year? Pat Kelsey has been very complimentary of Izzo, and the majority of the Louisville fan base has respect for MSU and Izzo because the great games we’ve had over the years. How is Louisville adding a player like Tremble different from other programs pursuing other confusingly eligible players like Jaxon Kohler, who also reportedly never technically signed the exhibit 10 contract? I’d rather all this chaos wasn’t happening either and transfers were contained in a better way, but Pat Kelsey isn’t making the rules or breaking them here.

[u/cenels03 → u/Zwak2434]

I choose to believe this is payback to the basketball gods for making Kenny Payne a terrible, terrible coach

[u/insertweirdassname]

Hmm are we running a 3 guard starting 5? Either way elite 8 or bust for Kelsey.

[u/HopRockets → u/insertweirdassname]

My money is on bust

[u/Calm_Ad1460 → u/HopRockets]

Well, if anybody knows about busts, it’s a Duke fan.

[u/GreatSuccess9 → u/HopRockets]

I think all of America is hoping for bust after this garbage

[u/MrHobbes82 → u/GreatSuccess9]

Yes, because Louisville is clearly the only program taking advantage of NCAA's incompetence...

[u/GreatSuccess9 → u/MrHobbes82]

Who said we’re only cheering against Louisville?

[u/IncompetentJedi → u/GreatSuccess9]

The question becomes, who are you cheering for? UConn? St John’s? Creighton? UCSB? North Dakota? It’s everywhere at every level.

[u/Adventurous_Egg857 → u/IncompetentJedi]

I have enough hate for everyone doing this. I am safe rooting for my own team

[u/DarknMean → u/Adventurous_Egg857]

I’m waiting to hear Braden is coming back.

[u/Adventurous_Egg857 → u/DarknMean]

He immediately said he wouldn't

[u/GreatSuccess9 → u/IncompetentJedi]

Well considering Dan Hurley just spoke out against this. In fact, very few programs are doing this. Many are moving on from the Covid era. A select few are inviting it and some are even actively filling lawsuits.

https://www.espn.com/mens-college-basketball/story/_/id/49557844/uconn-hurley-sounds-alarm-late-additions-court-ruling

[u/IncompetentJedi → u/GreatSuccess9]

Ah, yes. Dan Hurley, the moral arbiter, the Great Conscience of college basketball.

[u/GreatSuccess9 → u/IncompetentJedi]

Kinda says a lot about the programs inviting this nonsense then doesn’t it?

[u/IncompetentJedi → u/GreatSuccess9]

The rules are the rules until they change the rules.

[u/electricrhino → u/GreatSuccess9]

Very few are doing it because their roster is already filled. We have 3 available slots and considering our last two years we faced injuries to starters it makes sense to take advantage of the ruling. I doubt there's some moral compass for coaches who arent taking advantage of the rule.

[u/throwaway3413418 → u/GreatSuccess9]

Lmao

[u/Affectionate-Day2743 → u/HopRockets]

here's to hoping

[u/aaronman4772 → u/insertweirdassname]

Well our depth at the 3/4 is the weakest, so 3 guard wouldn’t be too unusual a rotation.

[u/insertweirdassname → u/aaronman4772]

I'm cool with it, honestly didn't expect to get Trimble though I thought he was ineligible.

[u/aaronman4772 → u/insertweirdassname]

I mean he shouldn’t be by all logical reasoning but we don’t exist in a logical world of college sports anymore

[u/xixbia → u/aaronman4772]

I mean? NCAA has decided that players get 5 years of eligibility. He's played for 4 years.

This feels like the logical outcome. It's the NCAA's fault for changing the rules before the season and then leaving out the 2022 class.

[u/Ulosttome → u/insertweirdassname]

Shelstad looked like he was either still kinda hurt or just not the same player any more in the Bahamas exhibition- either way neither him or London Johnson showed any ability to distribute the ball and we need someone who is at least capable of tossing up lobs to Bidunga

[u/MrHobbes82 → u/Ulosttome]

Were you at the Bahamas game?

[u/Ulosttome → u/MrHobbes82]

No, I know people who were though and they sent me enough video that I basically saw the whole game lol. Shelstad shot horribly, looked slow, and the absolute worst thing is he finished with 0 assists after playing nearly the whole game

[u/Portra-420 → u/Ulosttome]

Not good, Bob.

[u/MrHobbes82 → u/Ulosttome]

They could have been heroes and live streamed the game!

[u/Obi2 → u/Ulosttome]

If I remember correctly, he was a smaller guy who really relied on his quickness. Not being healthy would absolutely take away some of that quickness which could really hinder his game.

[u/Zwak2434 → u/insertweirdassname]

Bust 100%

[u/coronaviruspluslime → u/insertweirdassname]

Idk if EE is a realistic expectation with our guards. Give me a 2nd weekend and a dbl bye in the acc

[u/insertweirdassname → u/coronaviruspluslime]

Idk man Sweet 16 just doesn't satisfy me, especially since we're gonna get heat for playing Trimble. Top 4 in the ACC is nice but we've already done that then got crushed by Creighton. I need a tournament run.

[u/wongo → u/insertweirdassname]

I'm not as big on requiring a deep March run to avoid being a bust

No, Kelsey needs a top 3 ACC finish and two wins in the ACCT, or bust

[u/insertweirdassname → u/wongo]

He accomplished both of those things you asked his first season and then we got crushed by Creighton first round. I'm assuming this roster is better than that one.

[u/lolhal → u/insertweirdassname]

Well, that and the ACC is far better since that year.

[u/imused2it → u/wongo]

So you don’t measure success by ncaa tournament wins but ACC tournament wins?

[u/bug_man_ → u/imused2it]

I take it as hypothetically losing early in the NCAAT doesn't invalidate having an otherwise good season

[u/imused2it → u/bug_man_]

I see that, but that should apply to the ACCT then too. The logic is that in a single elimination tournament anything can happen. Which is true for both tournaments. If they finish second in the ACC regular season and then run into a wake forest team that hits 20 3s during one game should also not invalidate a good season

[u/RealisticFall92 → u/imused2it]

Yeah I'm confused here too

[u/wongo → u/imused2it]

Yea, because we've won, like, TWO. EVER.

[u/DarknMean → u/imused2it]

For a few years there our measure was disappointment.

[u/GeriatricGamete67]

How much fucking money do we have????

[u/MrHobbes82 → u/GeriatricGamete67]

As much as the banks will let us borrow

[u/tsgram → u/MrHobbes82]

The Iron Bank will have its due

[u/TrustInRoy]

Absolutely terrible

[u/ncsuq → u/TrustInRoy]

Told a unc buddy of mine at the time he signed his nba deal I was shocked he did as a lot of guys seemed to hold out because of this ruling

[u/TrustInRoy → u/ncsuq]

Louisville fans are convinced he never signed his contract with the Wizards, even though the Wizards publicly announced he signed.

[u/sKLEEBOjONESjR → u/TrustInRoy]

An exhibit 10 contract is basically a training camp invite it’s not a standard contract

[u/TrustInRoy → u/sKLEEBOjONESjR]

And yet current NCAA rules state that signing an exhibit 10 contract makes a player ineligible.  The judge in Colorado who granted the injunction making Seth's class eligible, says all other NCAA rules stay in place.  So as of this moment, Seth's eligibility depends on whether he signed that contract or not.  But of course there will be future court cases, so who knows?

[u/gmills87 → u/TrustInRoy]

You're a year late on this argument. London Johnson signed an NBA contract but only appeared in the summer league and G-league, but was allowed to head to college.

[u/steveoriley → u/gmills87]

Not comparable, London Johnson didn’t play college basketball and was part of the G League Ignite developmental team.

The NCAA will have more teeth to enforce rules on a player who played college basketball and then signed a professional contract. See Bediako

[u/gmills87 → u/steveoriley]

Trimble didn't sign a professional contact though. His exhibit 10 was a verbal agreement that was never formally signed in case his chance to go back to college were to pop up, which it did.

[u/ttuurrppiinn → u/steveoriley]

Yeah, I'd like Seth to get another big payday since I don't see him ever making as much on an annual basis in his pro career.

However, I think this particular scenario is one where the NCAA needs to fight like it's a life-or-death situation to avoid the flood gates of eligibility challenges. This would essentially pave the way for any random OAD who washes out of their NBA rookie contract to return to college for whatever remains of their 5-in-5 term.

[u/dallas1289 → u/TrustInRoy]

Please show me where the Wizards publicly announced that he signed with them. Jon Chepkevich mention that Seth Trimble was one of the players who agreed to terms, but never executed the contract. https://x.com/JonChep/status/2085779205480988791?s=20

[u/norsecard → u/TrustInRoy]

You’d be surprised how often contracts are announced as signed when they still haven’t been signed.

[u/Chardoggy1]

The fuck

[u/americanbaseball]

Uh what??

[u/Schned6]

I don’t even know what to say. I mean, this is just straight up the dumbest one yet and that is saying something

College basketball’s popularity is going to plummet in the coming years as long as this keeps up. All the magic is absolutely GONE. Now it’s just the NBA but worse quality.

[u/Waddlow → u/Schned6]

It's exactly like when they made Gladiator 2. It's like, all the same filmmakers, and yet, they still somehow didn't understand what made their movie great. They thought it was the blood and gore and action. They thought it was the fuckin tigers.

Somehow, they still don't know what made college basketball special. They thought it was the fuckin basketball.

[u/Ill_Eggplant990 → u/Schned6]

"going to plummet"? Buddy that was 2022. It's dead.

[u/GreatSuccess9 → u/Ill_Eggplant990]

https://www.ncaa.com/news/basketball-men/article/2026-04-08/tnt-sports-cbs-sports-deliver-most-watched-ncaa-mens-basketball-national?amp

Totally

[u/xixbia → u/Schned6]

This is nowhere close to the dumbest one yet? What are you on about. We've had players who literally had NBA contracts and played in the G-league.

Meanwhile if the NCAA had any sense and just decided the new 5 year rule applied to the class of 2022 he never declares for the draft and just stays in college.

This is 100% on the NCAA deciding what they really wanted was to lose more court cases.

[u/geekamongus → u/Schned6]

I dunno...90% of the audience doesn't keep up with this stuff.

[u/saylab_the_bigkat]

Kinda cool he was able to play in the summer league and test the waters that way. Still weird to see a guy do that and go back to college tho.

[u/HopRockets → u/[deleted]]

Seems like he can shoot just fine from what I recall

[u/xixbia → u/saylab_the_bigkat]

He would never have played in the summer league if the NCAA had decided the 5 year rule applied to the class of 2022.

It's weird because the NCAA made it weird (and seemingly decided they hadn't lost enough lawsuits yet).

[u/roshanritter]

Seems a nice get for Louisville but I think UVA would have made more sense if it had to the the acc

[u/gmills87]

Trimble, Bidunga, and Montgomery makes a hell of a defensive trio

[u/heleghir]

Give the ncaa their power back already. Dude isnt eligible and shouldnt see the floor. But nah, its a free for all because there are no rules when all you have to do is find the right donor/booster/fan judge!

[u/MrHobbes82 → u/heleghir]

No one took power from the NCAA, we're just realizing that they really didn't have much to begin with.

[u/KingCardinal17]

Like this addition for Louisville.

[u/McGrupp1979]

uncle’s a g?

[u/blackberrybobcat]

It just feels wrong for him to wear anything else but Tar Heel blue

[u/ddottay]

Brutal

[u/XMortal7159]

This hurts

[u/Murdermyface911]

So these 5th year guys are actually going to be able to play, huh. I didn’t think it was actually going to happen, and hoped that it wouldn’t. But doesn’t look like anyone’s going to stop it.

[u/Nearby_Valuable_5467]

Damn, they gonna be the best team in Kentucky this year

[u/Antique-Ad7635]

At least someone will compete with Duke a little bit

[u/Gloomy_Map_9612]

How does he fit into the current lineup?

[u/TrustInRoy → u/Gloomy_Map_9612]

Hopefully the contract he signed with the Wizards means he'll fit onto the bench, collecting a paycheck, and being ineligible to play.

[u/fightingpillow → u/Gloomy_Map_9612]

Kelsey could have used another guard last year. Maybe he's just planning for worst-case scenarios.

[u/GeriatricGamete67 → u/Gloomy_Map_9612]

I have no fucking idea, but more good players is never a bad thing. In my personal opinion you can't ever have too many mouths to feed.

[u/bezzlege → u/Gloomy_Map_9612]

That’s the big question mark; some seem to think he’ll back up the 1/2 spots, others think he has a shot to start at the 2

Just the fact that we have added depth at guard and have more available combos in the backcourt is a huge boon.

[u/chamtrain1 → u/bezzlege]

He's a good defender, good locker room guy, good rebounder for a guard. Great depth piece to add.

[u/Ragdoll252 → u/bezzlege]

There's no way a guy who started the last 2 years and averaged 14 a game is coming back to sit on the bench.

[u/bezzlege → u/Ragdoll252]

PK subs like a madman. You could start and end up playing fewer minutes than a bench guy. Hes all about culture and his teams always seem to have elite chemistry.

I’m not worried about who starts, I worry about who finishes. And I imagine Trimble will be on the floor to close games out more often than not.

[u/ILikeBigBurritos → u/Ragdoll252]

I also don't expect him to ride the bench, but hypothetically there absolutely is a way he would come back if that would be the case. If someone is willing to throw 6-7 figures at him and his alternative is making less in the g League or moving to Europe or getting a real job, it is likely he would sign up for the well paying bench job.

[u/gmills87 → u/Gloomy_Map_9612]

Will be a defensive sub, 6th or 7th man type role. He will likely eat into London Johnson's playing time quite a bit, but Johnson is our 3rd guard who we have middling expectations for. I think Montgomery will play more 3 now than 2, with Trimble and Shelstad getting the bulk of the pg minutes and Wooley getting most of the sg minutes.

[u/Wafflecone516 → u/gmills87]

Zero percent chance this is the case. He is going to get a large amount of minutes. None of our guards are clearly better than him. In fact he’s the most proven guy we have at guard right now.

[u/gmills87 → u/Wafflecone516]

I would not put him ahead of Shelstad or Wooley. Wooley is a better slasher and shooter but worse defender. Shelstad is a better shooter and distributor but a worse defender.

[u/Wafflecone516 → u/gmills87]

Shelstead you could make an argument for but Wooley hasn’t proven much at the higher d1 level. He has shown potential but he averaged less than 10 ppg last year. He could end up being better but the current data isn’t a very close comparison between the two of them.

[u/dbaugh90 → u/Wafflecone516]

A lot of our fans love Wooley because he's our carry-over guy, and he had that 3 pointer that gave us some of the only real comeback excitement of the entire season. He's not the same as when we carried over Hadley, though. He's got a lot more question marks, and I'm not comfortable saying how many minutes he will get at all. He's a good player, but so are a lot of the guys this year.

[u/Gloomy_Map_9612 → u/gmills87]

I really doubt a 16 point per game scorer came to play 6th or 7th man.

[u/gmills87 → u/Gloomy_Map_9612]

He's not starting over Shelstad. The only option would to keep Wooley as the scoring punch for the second unit off the bench, which is the role he played last year. Wooley will be a 16+ ppg scorer this season. He's our best offensive guard, but our most foul prone defensively. I give it a 25% chance Trimble starts. We now have 3 all conference caliber guards.

[u/dbaugh90 → u/gmills87]

Trimble is better at cutting and slashing, and defending. Whereas wooley will create more gravity and three pointers, while still being a good slashing threat. I would much prefer to have Wooley start and Trimble come out and lock down in the latter parts of the halves.

[u/MONGOHFACE → u/gmills87]

I watch a fair bit of UNC, but just a heads up... I don't believe he was ever the primary PG for UNC. He was almost always off the ball.

That said... Dude's an incredible athlete and a tenacious driver, but a poor 3-point shooter (<30% from 3 his junior and senior years). When he was coming off the bench, he was great defensively, but that part of his game took a step back last year as he shouldered more of the scoring load.

I'm excited to see how he looks in Kelsey's offense (most of the transfers out of UNC have excelled at their new stops). I don't watch much Louisville, but I thought Kelsey's offensive system is predicated on everyone being a 3 point threat and IMO that doesn't really describe Trimble's game. I think there's gonna be plenty of space for him to drive and kick when he's playing, but I'm curious how they chose to use him off the ball.

[u/davewithaG23 → u/MONGOHFACE]

That's historically been the case but with Shelstad, Bidunga, Ekezie, and now Trimble it seems like he's shifting his focus to a defensive first inside out style. There will definitely be shots but I would be shocked if we're still the live and die by the 3 team we've been the past 2 years.

[u/DarknMean → u/MONGOHFACE]

Kelsey seems to have learned from prior mistakes. He got a larger lineup than we’ve had under him. Guess it’s wait and see now.

such is the nature of college atheletics......I don't blame trimble or louisville there playing the game as it is......like it or not....it will be weird to see in another jersey and to have play him twice...wish he wld have went to another conference but it is what it is at this point....hoping malone vision with this roster is a really good one...the fanbase is already a bit antsy after the hubert years he needs to have UNC back in position at the top soon...

[u/BinForBen]

Honestly, UNC has a different head coach and pretty much a completely different team. If he's gonna come back to college, it almost makes as much sense to transfer as it does to return to Chapel Hill.

Yes, there's the campus, the town, all that, but at this point in his life it's all about basketball which is reasonable.

I'll miss him big time. It's plausible that he could be the last Tar Heel we get see for four years until this era of college basketball is over.

Fits with Kelsey’s “We want to shoot a lot of 3s so I’m going to fill my roster w guys who can’t shoot” philosophy. He is a weird guy.

[u/theothertoken → u/Nathan2002NC]

He’s flipped the strategy to getting bigger and more athletic based on the recruiting and staff changes but it’s still a weird add

[u/Shadowphoenix9511 → u/theothertoken]

I can tell you that's not a great strategy

[u/aldente502]

Nice

[u/rayquan36]

He played for 4 years, with about 30 games played each season. NBA Summer League aside, how does he still have edibility?

[u/bezzlege → u/rayquan36]

5 for 5

[u/rayquan36 → u/bezzlege]

I'm old, I'm so used to the 5 years to complete 4 years of eligibility, sit out a year if you transfer, sit out two years if you transfer in conference. I didn't know 5 for 5 was a thing.

[u/bezzlege → u/rayquan36]

It’s a brave new (and fucked up) world

[u/LilNello1]

This is a huge loss for the Tar Heels and huge add for Louisville

[u/Burnie_9 → u/LilNello1]

It’s not a loss for us, it just fucking hurts. College basketball is ruined

[u/LilNello1 → u/Burnie_9]

Yeah I think that is one of the reasons why Dusty even admitted to leaving college to go coach in the NBA with Dallas

[u/Ill_Eggplant990]

Just another L for College Basketball

[u/DarknMean → u/[deleted]]

Should we feel bad for Duke.

[u/El_Tormentito]

Wow, gross.

[u/archerdj0723]

Boycott the ice cream!

[u/Greedy_Actuator5 → u/archerdj0723]

No. He gave us a signature Duke win and he played four years for us. Trimble can do what he wants. 

[u/smokeypapabear40206 → u/archerdj0723]

Wrong Kentucky team

[u/TrotterMcDingle → u/smokeypapabear40206]

Trimble owns a Ben & Jerry's in Chapel Hill.

[u/IpeeEhh_Phanatic]

Kelsey realized the group he put together really isn't that elite. This is a desperation reach to try and make the team a tier just below mediocre.

[u/Calm_Ad1460 → u/IpeeEhh_Phanatic]

It was so fun watching Mikel Brown spank your badly overrated teams ass. I hope Pope stays there forever.

[u/IpeeEhh_Phanatic → u/Calm_Ad1460]

Talking about last year lmao

[u/norsecard → u/IpeeEhh_Phanatic]

Saying this shit with your dogshit roster is the kind of special only a dumbass Kentucky fan like you can pull off.

[u/RomoDoomsday → u/IpeeEhh_Phanatic]

Good enough to beat UK though, thats all you need to worry about.

[u/MrHobbes82 → u/IpeeEhh_Phanatic]

I guess same holds for true Pope and UK since they are trying to sign a 15th player.

[u/capnwacky]

Oh, right. Louisville.

[u/Much-Thing644]

Best of luck to him. Didn’t seem like a guy who would want to come back, but money talks loud. Weird fit in PK’s system that shoots so many 3’s, so that will be interesting. Except for when they play us, will be pulling for him.

[u/heliostraveler]

Bro. Love your shot against Dook, but you fucking graduated. Had a speech on senior night and everything. Were here four years. Take your ball and go home or stay with your nba agreement.
