Man, this kid is going to be awesome for UNC next year. Check out this cool interview with McAdoo, he shouts out Tar Heel fans!

He will definitely be a beast on the interior. He just has such a great combination of size and skills, and he's from all accounts a great student of the game. With Duke's recruiting class coming in Im glad we have a "few" blue chippers of our own. Can't wait for next year!

Hey Carolina March!

It's Max Strauss here. I wonder if the majority of you know who I am from the other SB Nation websites. I really hope you do. But, basically you have my name already, and some info about me will follow: I'm a high school student and I work hard to interview NFL players. I spend a lot of my spare time working on the site. I have interviewed one former UNC player, Jesse Holley. (Click here for that link). I'm here today to share an interview with someone who recently graduated from UNC, and who is entering and excited for the 2011 NFL Draft in the next few days. I wonder what professional teams you all root for, so maybe you can provide some insight on where you want him to land.

I'm here today to share an interview with now... former Safety, Deunta Williams! 
Here is the link: http://prointerviews.org/DeuntaWilliams

I hope it provides some insight to who he is, and maybe gives you a break from some other information.

Thank you so much for letting me share. Please share your feedback!

Harrison Barnes has decided to stay for his sophomore season. Tar heel fans everywhere can take a huge sigh of relief. This will be a hungry team with one goal and one goal only on its mind: To win a National Championship. With the return of Junior F John Henson and Senior F Tyler Zeller, they can definitely get it done. They have all the right tools and finally enough experience to win it all. I'm looking forward to next season

I'm a Tennessee Vol, first and foremost. That ain't changin'. However, given that I'm spending the next six years of my life as a Ph.D. student at UNC, I figured I ought to expand the list of teams I support to two. After all, I don't have much against y'all. You were beneficiaries of our baffling collapse in 2000 and our inability to put six healthy DBs on the field in 2010, but those certainly weren't the best Vol teams, so there's no lingering malice. Plus, despite sharing a border, we rarely play each other, so there probably won't be too much internal conflict. And Tennessee orange and Carolina blue, in addition to being my two favorite colors for pretty much ever, look awesome together. 

With that in mind, I need to learn about this new school I support. I already hate Duke (at least in basketball--in football they're harmless and cute, and Coach Cut is a good dude), so I imagine that's a good start. I don't hate them as much as I hate Kentucky, but I don't imagine a little ill-will towards Big Blue will go over too badly here. What else do I need, as far as rivalries go. Wake Forest? NC State? Do I have reason to legitimately dislike these folks, or is it just fun to watch them try to actually win a rivalry game (like Vandy and Kentucky in football)? I know there's no real series going with Tennessee or USC--are there any other border wars I'm missing? At UT, the border wars (Kentucky in hoops, Alabama in football) are the biggest rivalries we have. But I guess we have more borders than Carolina. What's left? UVA? Non-border wars? Anything else? 

Then there's the actual teams. As a grad student, I haven't paid as much attention as I would've liked to college sports as a whole. I see from the front page that Hensen and Zeller are coming back. Presumably I should root for Barnes to come back too. I have no idea who else is even on the basketball team. No idea who's coming back on the football team, or if people even care. Also don't know how serious the NCAA troubles are? Are you expecting the NCAA hammer or relatively minimal penalties that Butch should be able to work himself out of? 

I seem to recall the soccer team being good, but everyone I remember playing college in the Southeast did so in South Carolina (Dempsey, R. Clark, Holden, Onyewu). Any UNC grads I should be aware of? By the way, how Furman got Dempsey and Clark at the same time I have no idea. 

What am I missing? Tell me what I need to know. 

Also, just so we're clear, no matter how much I grow to love UNC, this is and will always remain out of bounds:

Go Vols! Go Heels!

Hello,

My name is Ashwin and I recently got an offer to work in Burlington, NC. ill be turning 23 in May, however i'm still in the party scene and I don't wanna grow up. I like watching and playing sports. I'm a Detroit fan and most Michigan State fan. I was just hoping to get advice on some potential places to live. Ill be moving down around June. Any advice will help, thanks 

Go Green!

For the past few months it has been known that Desmond Hubert is down to MD and UNC.  Can someone tell me who you will have returning as a scholarship player?  I would think that you had 9 scholarship players last year, with 1 graduating.  I have listed them below.

Strickland, McDonald, Marshall, Watts, Henson, Zeller, Barnes, Bullock, Knox (graduating). 


This would mean that you had 8 returning players and could take 5 players in the 2011 class.  From what I can tell you have given out 3 athletic scholarships, 1 academic scholarship, and 1 preferred walk on.  Is that the case? 

McAdoo, Hariston, White - Athletic

Simmons - preferred walk on

Cannon - Academic

This would mean that you would have room for Desmond Hubert.  Most people on the MD site seem to think that you are out of scholarships.  Can someone confirm your current status.  Appreciate it..... and F Duke

If Harrison Barnes does indeed make his return official than we could be looking at one of the best Carolina teams of the decade. With the return of Henson and Zeller and the addition of James McAdoo they will have the best front court in the nation. And with only the loss of one scholarship Senior (Knox) they will have the depth and experience to win any given game throughout the season. But how will they compare to the 2009 team that we all remember and love?

Hey guys, things are looking good for the 2011-2012 Tar Heels so far...

If this whole thing is true then we should see #40 back in Carolina blue next year. The announcement is supposed to come tomorrow, so I guess we'll all just have to stay tuned. Hopefully we see the Big Three come back next year, if they all buy into the idea of winning a championship I think they'll be celebrating under the confetti in the Super Dome in 2012.
