Insiders say we are the leader for his services. But recent history suggest if he leaves without a committment, I wont feel to confident with our chances.

Sounds like everything is done here except the introduction photos & the Tipton edit.

If he's looking at more than just basketball factors, I like our chances. Chapel Hill is a nice little university town but cannot offer the non-basketball allure of Washington, DC. I know a lot of fans will sneer at this but I still believe it to be true - that Georgetown and DC offer a lot more for an international student. Call me old- fashioned . . . I remember being at McD for an exhibition games in the 1970s against a NZ team and they did the Haka. Most reaction was WTF as most everyone had no idea what their team was doing!

Due the NCAA recruiting calendar, August 5th will be the last day UNC can host a recruit before fall semester starts on August 19th. The recruiting dead period resumes August 6th. So basically the small window we have to get him on campus just got smaller.
This is from a North Carolina message board…

Watching and reading about Julius has me convinced that he would be a game changer if he reclassifies for this year. I agree that being in DC does figure big for a kid who says he wants to see the world. The Sleepers podcast talks about him definitely not playing much at Gonzaga, maybe getting some time at Kentucky and UNC. He has a good opportunity here to play decent minutes and develop under Cooley. Suddenly this season shines with real possibility of some fun ball on the Hilltop.

I believe he was previously an assistant at GW and now has been working with the NBA Global Academy for the last several years, particularly with Australian prospects. If true he would be the Mark Fox replacement

If true he would be the Mark Fox replacement Thanks -- is that what we call that role? I don't know how Julius will do defensively, but his offensive game looks very strong. And having someone with NBA Academy contacts is not a bad thing at all.

I believe he was previously an assistant at GW and now has been working with the NBA Global Academy for the last several years, particularly with Australian prospects. If true he would be the Mark Fox replacement Article from 2020: Supporting the NBA's global development initiatives, Collucci has seen the growing passion for the league worldwide first-hand over the past four years, and that moment from the 2017 NBA Global Games stands alone illustrating just how popular it's become. "That was really mind-blowing to see the power of that brand and how recognizable those athletes are," said Collucci, who works within the NBA's International Basketball Operations as senior manager in charge of player pathways and coaching. "It was like 'Wow.' This was literally just to see them get off a bus and walk into the hotel lobby at 1:30 a.m." A former GW guard and assistant coach, Collucci has a unique opportunity to help grow the game at the youth level worldwide with the backing of the world's premier professional league. From his home in Northern Virginia, Collucci supports the NBA Academy program with branches in Australia, China, India, Senegal and Mexico. He has been involved every step of the way since the league began sponsoring the international network of elite training and education centers for boys and girls in October 2016. gwsports.com/news/2020/6/10/mens-basketball-where-are-they-now-greg-collucci
