We won't recruit Barry as long as he is committed to UNC.

Yes this last decade Tar Heel basketball student/athletes have taken a lot of courses that have come into question as to whether they even showed up for class. I would like to see the school records for all the Men's basketball team during this last decade at UNC. To be the #1 school in Div 1 it seems that you have to cheat. Ya'll had to fire the two professors you knew had been helping the athletes so they wouldn't have to be grilled by grand jury. Feed up the football program to keep the #1 position. The country now has a little window knowledge of how ya'll have gotten to the top. You can only hope that this doesn't resurface, ya'll have tried to bury it as quickly as possible.

East Carolina let's anyone in with questionable grades, but know we know there are two institutions that have been condoning whatever it takes to get to the top. Two peas in a pod. LOL

And you got there by fixing the grades.

hehehe.

to answer, and i'm no expert at all, probably the 11,413th person to ask about basketball recruiting on this board: i didn't think tyus jones had any interest in UF at this time. or we might be 4th or 5th on his list. but, again, i'm close to the last person to ask about this.

why would you get banned for answering. if there's dis-or mis-information, you correct it. you can do it w/out getting personal. but expect barbs to come a flying when you visit boards unless you are a complete suckup. if you aren't then expect barbs from those that want all vistors to kneel. it happens. all boards are that way. you have to learn to ignore and wade thru the posts.

@heelfan - This is an informed community here. We love rival posters who are the same, but you are clearly uninformed. Several of us live in the Carolina's. We have seen both schools facilities up close many times.

I'm still looking for you to explain how our facilities are "bad". A more appropriate question for you might be: How did a blue-blood like UNC let a "Football School" have BETTER BASKETBALL facilities than said blue-blood school?

Because, The only thing better about the Smith Center and its practice facilities is the seating capacity....and some dusty banners from the 1950's....other than that yours are not very nice by today's standards.

Lets also consider, Our coach could conceivably still be here 20 years from now. He in essence is our "Dean Smith"...and he is in his prime. With a hall of fame resume already. This program is only going up.

None of this is meant to rip Chapel Hill. It is gorgeous. Even you football stadium in the fall, with the pines, is a pretty little spot. I am friends with many Carolina grads and fans. My wife and our kids are all NC natives. I live in Wilmington and I love it.

...But I cant let you remain uninformed.

But even that is opinion. I just posted you the facts earlier. We are the exact same in final fours, elite eights and National Titles over the past 10 years... I think we have a better winning percentage as well.

So that "ranking" is kinda silly. Its subjective, and probably biased against our "football school" status.

[gatorbogey]

i believe the 'uninformed' statement is referring to your statement that inferred you didn't realize that we, UF, have made it to the last two elite eights. that sort of omission will draw some serious ire from the board here.

Why would you ever think a post like this would get banned? I see nothing wrong with it. One of the great things about GC is that we will listen and if a rival post here, we welcome their opinions. We do not delete post even if there are things in it that may be negative towards our program. This is not a Spear chunkin sight!

[gatorbogey]

yep. alot of luck. and it's about the matchups in the ncaa's. we're actually bigger at guard this year than last and our perimeter guys can play some mean 'd'.

tenn is 'always' given us issues w/ their length and athleticism. they beat us even when we won the nat'l titles. it's almost become expected.

Kasey Hill is coming in at guard next season. 6'-0" pg.
