It is heartbreaking for North Carolina Tar Heels: he is gone

After visiting a few schools in the spring, Isaiah West intended to make multiple formal visits in June.

Following his winter visit to Kentucky and talks with his family, the running back for Philadelphia St. Joseph’s will only make two trips, one of which will be to Kentucky.

The 5-foot-11, 208-pound West made his commitment to the Wildcats known on Friday night, and after considering his options, he made his choice quite simple.

“I was on my visit (a month ago) and kept saying I wasn’t going to commit and not to get caught up in things,” West stated. “I kept reminding myself of that and then on the plane ride home, and when I got home and was talking to my parents, we have this whole chart to make my decision, and I was telling them, ‘There’s nothing wrong with this place.'”

There were other programs that were heavily involved, including those in North Carolina, Wisconsin, and Nebraska, but Kentucky had too much going its way for West to go anywhere else.

“I recall that when I first received the offer from Kentucky, David Washington, my teammate who had signed there, ran down to find me and said, ‘Bro,

He spent some time coaching Najee Harris for the Steelers and mentored many excellent backs, including Joe Mixon, who is still in the league. I believe he can lead me to”I believe that NC State is playing bigger now than they were when we played them earlier in the conference season, which is probably the biggest difference. They have a sizable roster. For this reason, they are large, long, and athletic. It makes it possible for them to play even better defense, grabbing rebounds and going after the hoop. They try to speed you up or create steals by hurling a variety of defenses at you. From an offensive standpoint, we are unable to let any defense, no matter how good at it may be, control our style of play or level of efficiency. — UNC coach Hubert Davis on Friday, evaluating NC State and the ways in which the Wolfpack have evolved since their initial encounter.To see how the previous four minutes transpired. It reminded me a little bit of how dominant Baylor was in the 2022 NCAA Tournament in terms of how much of a lead we had and how many opportunities we missed to extend it due to mistakes. However, I believe we can draw lessons from that and that we put ourselves in a favorable situation. The reason that, in my opinion, the film study was beneficial to us is that it helped us learn from our mistakes and make progress toward avoiding the same ones come March. — UNC guard RJ Davis on Friday, talking about the Tar Heels’ analysis of their erratic performance in the win on Monday night.
