    Hopefully he stays in college. Now I'm REALLY wanting an age limit, but for selfish reasons.

    Very nice pickup, 3 really nice players so far. The only thing that scares me is the PF and C positions and I don't really know how UNC can address it at this point unless they hope to get 2 more pickups for the same class and they are big men.

    Right now, we have 2 players that can play down low, with one of them being very questionable at best at this point, but next year we will only have 1 PF/C, that's if he stays and is healthy.

    They're looking at Spencer Hawes (down to UNC and Washington), Bryan Davis, Wright, and Durrant (Durrant is a good possibility if he doesn't go pro, but he is awful thin and will need to bulk up some. Its said he may be a SF in the league.)

    Yep, they need to get 2 legit big men, not a tweener in sf/pf.

    Not sure what they are going to do this year after TH and BS down low even.

    Is Greg Oden off the radar now?

    he's never really been on the radar. I think if there is 100% chance the NBA age limit goes in you'll see guys like Coach K and Roy Williams make a mad dash for Oden, but until then he's assumed to be 100% NBA bound.

    Well I knew there had been some contact, although limited because of the NBA talk, but I also knew at least at this point and time Oden wants to go to college, but we all know how that can change.

    You don't see many big men with his skills as a true center in todays game, at least not in college.

    Isn't Tyler Hansbrough 6-10. He should be a good power forward. Duke still has you beat down low. I think Martynas Pocious will be the surprise of the class

    Yes he is, but is only one player. Year after next I think he will be our only player over 6'7".
