Hanging out with my pregnant best friend, talk turned naturally to college basketball and the NBA draft picks. Because I'm living under a rock here, I hadn't heard what happened. Ooh, I don't want to know -- tell me tell me, oh no, oh no, I don't want to know. Okay, no, tell me. Who did they take from the Tar Heels? I screwed up my eyes and crossed my fingers and she told me. Marvin Williams, gone. Felton, gone. May, gone. McCants, gone. Ouch. Manuel and Jawad Williams and Scott graduated. Ouch. I couldn't think of a player we have left. Noel? Can't remember if this was his junior or senior year.
We did win the championships this year, so I can't blame the boys. And I am so glad Felton and May will still be playing on the same team. And I'm proud that Felton was the #5 draft pick. He's my favorite. But I went and looked at the roster and it's a bunch of names I don't know. Yikes.
Does this mean you are now a Charlotte Bobcat fan since Felton and May are both on their team? Because, I live in NC and there are only about 6 or 7 of those people around here. Not that two Tar Heels are going to raise my interest level.
Wait 'til next season in the ACC as the Blue Devils will roll over Roy Williams boys. On the brighter side, though, with Boston College joining the ACC tomorrow, you should likely get more ACC sports (and hence UNC) up there in Maine.

You should start following a women's college team. It could even be UNC. They only lose players to graduation and personal reasons, the WNBA doesn't draft a player unless the class she enrolled with has graduated.
