Wear Brothers to Transfer

by T.H. on May 6, 2010 9:10 AM EDT in Basketball

So yeah, this just happened. Travis and David Wear are leaving UNC for parts as yet unknown. If I had to speculate, it would be to go to school closer to California – a lot of big men seem to be lured back to the Golden State after some time in Chapel Hill don't they? – but this leaves UNC the weakest in the paint since, what, Doherty's final season with May injured? I don't expect the same catastrophe in 2011, but it'll be interesting to see WIlliams' offense run with so little in the paint. The shooting will have to improve a lot over this past season, if nothing else.

Needless to say, UCLA fans are excited. Lance Stephenson didn't end up there however, and I'm not sure the Wears are what the Bruins need now, either.

Too late

if they had made this decision a week or 2 ago, we probably could have stolen CJ Leslie away from State. Oh well, at least they have two more scholarships available for future classes. Roy’s a great recruiter with a little more ammo to play with.

Not a big deal

The Wears are respectable players, but I am not shedding tears because they are transferring. It baffles me that these guys were McDonald’s All-Americans. Outside of being tall, I didn’t see them do anything well on a consistent basis. I wish them the best in the future though. Let’s hope ROY replaces them with some guys who do more that pass the eye test.

There seems to be some movement already from the staff …

(f)UCLA fans are hilarious – for a school that has basically fallen off the map after 3 FFs and not coming home with anything, and is so far in the toilet from this past season (further than UK and Carolina has/had fallen) the Wear twins ain’t gonna save ’em.
