Alright. The college basketball season is just around the corner. Thoughts on the 5 new freshmen coming in(John Henson, Wear twins, Dexter Strickland, and Leslie McDonald) and the returning players from last years team? How far will the Heels go this year? And how does the ACC shape up this year?

Well we wall know your answers to thos questions. The 5 freshman will be the 2nd coming of the Fab 5. The returners will emerge out of the shadows of last years playmakers. Heels will go all the way and the ACC will be the best conference thanks to UNC. That about cover it?? Honestly I see you guys winning the ACC or a t worst finishing 2nd. You'll get solid contributions from 2-3 of the freshman and you'll make the elite 8 depending on tourney matchups. Its gonna be a good year for college basketball, lots of parody.

Ok. You said that at worst we will finish 2nd in the ACC, to who? And the only difference between the former Fab 5 and this Fab 5 is that this one is wayy bigger. We are way more bigger down low on the inside and really small on the perimeter.

ACC will not be as strong as most years. Duke is CLEARLY the favorite to win it. UNC will be 2nd to 3rd depending on their success and the success of FSU. No doubt UNC has the front court advantage overall in the ACC but no PG to runn a full court or half court offense. I look forward to the match ups between Duke and UNC. Its time for us to pull out the brooms! Peace out.

Lol. Ok. You are right that we have the front court advantage but our backcourt is still pretty good, just a little young. Larry Drew II is back from last yr and he got some lessons from Lawson last year. We also have Marcus Ginyard and Will Graves at the 2/3 guard. And I wouldnt count your chickens before they hatch and don't get those brooms out yet.

Ginyard is the only quality guard you will have and that's not even his natural position. Graves???? No. Drew II nope, he will likely lose his job to Strickland all said and done. As far as your freshmen, Henson and Strickland would be the only 2 I would expect anything out of this year. Davis is a beast, if he plays the way he is expected to, he will be a top 3 draft pick next year. The turds won't be bad by any means, but if you don't know how hard it is to go far in the tournament without guard play just look at Duke the last few years.

yea but in case you didnt hear the story on Drew II and saw him at Late Night in the Blue White game then he has really improved. Graves looks to be one of our very few outside shooters this year and McDonald or Strickland will probably split time with Drew II at the point. I look for Ginyard to play the 2 guard this year while Davis, Thompson start definitely, and Zeller and Henson both split time down low.

You know what you get when you put Henson and Zeller together?
















An average weight person......... HA HA HA HA HA HA! Now dat dare is funny.

That was a good one. They both really need to bulk up and put some weight on but besides that they are really great athletically.

UNC will make the NCAA, but will be knocked out in the 2nd round.

November 1, 2009  08:20 PM ET

I think they are a sweet 16 team, but a lot of sweet 16 teams don't make it to the 16. UNC is going to have trouble getting the ball to there bigs this year. Loaded with talent, but all at the same position.
