Welcome to another podcast by Inside Carolina.com, the independent voice of UNC Sports,

your home for Tar Heel football, basketball, and recruiting.

I'm your host, Tommy.

I actually joined by Greg Barnes, Ross Martin.

You listen to the Inside Carolina podcast.

Greg, I'll start with you, and then I want you to come in, Ross,

and talk about just overall the vibe in Keenan today at the press conference.

Mac Brown had his press conference, I guess, three-ish in the afternoon.

Inside Carolina, of course, full on's covering that after being around the state,

covering recruiting with Don and John Bowman.

But Greg, how was it just the vibe?

And then we'll dig into what was said and what it all means.

Well, it's, if you were around and you were old enough to watch Mac Brown his first time in Chapel Hill, back 30 years ago, he brought a lot of energy.

The old saying was he could sell ice, Eskimos, all those kinds of things, just because he would engage you.

We've talked about that before, how even at his introductory press conference, he would engage

whichever reporter he was talking to.

And I think what we all saw on signing day was that Mac Brown is that same old Mac Brown. But if anything, at least

initially, three weeks on the job, his energy levels are off the charts. I mean, he could

not wait to talk about this class. He could not wait to talk about what's ahead. He was anxious to ask questions.

You know, typically, typically Larry Fedora was almost like trying to get out the door as quick as he

could. And if anything, today, it was funny because Max's ready to go. Am I having more questions?

Any more questions? bobby hunley
