  • Rob Harrington

    Do whatever you absolutely can to retain him. You’re all good at what you do, but he is the best analyst I’ve ever come across. Fair, educated, invested.

    No insider interests, just saying. Keep it up.

  • New Arena

    I believe that Carolina basketball needs a new arena. I would love for it to be on campus but it’s time for a new one. There should have been a massive renovation 20 years ago before the scandal happened.

  • Get better technical support

    Long time basketball listener and love the various shows. Just started listening to football this year, mainly because of how good Tommy is. Post WF game episode - you can't have someone in cyborg voice try to talk that many times - makes the show seem very amateur, which of course it's not. Go Heels!

  • Good takes

    I appreciate the takes on a young basketball season that are realistic and fair instead of just Carolina fans getting overly amped too early bc of a promising freshman. Please Sharrell get a cough drop 🙏🏻

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Alexandros Samodurov to UNC | Inside Carolina Analysis | College Basketball
Q: What can you tell us about Samodurov's game and how it translates to UNC?
Sean Moran explains that Samodurov is a 6'11" big with a strong shooting touch, capable of facing up and attacking closeouts, which makes him a flexible fit for '4 or 5' lineups and not just a traditional back-to-the-basket big.
UNC's Erin Matson Continues to Elevate Carolina Field Hockey | Inside Carolina
Q: How do you take losses and failures and impart that learning to players who aren't used to failure?
Matson explains that failure is rare in field hockey, but she emphasizes using it as a learning tool, reflecting on what could have been done differently while keeping the focus on long-term growth and maintaining high standards.
This Week in UNC Baseball: A View from First w Scott Jackson | Inside Carolina | College Baseball
Q: Can you give us insight into those coach meetings and how you make tough decisions when things are rolling on the field?
Scott Jackson explains that lineup decisions come from weighing multiple inputs, including trust in players, statistics, and ongoing feedback from the staff; the head coach makes the final call but the process is collaborative and data-informed.
Bobby Petrino's Offense And UNC's Quarterback Room - IC Daily | Inside Carolina | College Football
Q: Your thoughts on what you've seen.
There's a two-part assessment: you need talent at quarterback and more than one option to foster competition, plus a scheme around the QB that plays to their strengths. The room is deep with multiple projects who could contribute, and Petrino's ability to tailor the offense around the quarterback's strengths will be crucial as training camp approaches.
UNC's Henri Veesaar Declares for the NBA Draft - Inside Carolina Reaction | College Basketball
Q: Help me understand what North Carolina plans to do moving forward. And is this, Veesaar for sure is now gone and North Carolina is moving forward without him.
Sherrell explains that replacing Veesaar one-for-one isn't feasible and UNC will need a multi-faceted approach, including potentially international prospects, different positional fits, and a mix of transfers to address post depth and spacing.
