We have 10 scholarship players and our last target is going somewhere else.

We have 10 good players, who could meet all our needs very well. But some of us worry that an injury, illness, failure to develop, or foul trouble could leave us in a lurch.

Just as a thought experiment, if we could use those remaining 3 scholarships to bring back some of the guys who left, which would you want back, if any?

Listed in order of MPG last season.

NBA Draft Thoughts

Three quarters of those drafted - 45 out of 60 - were freshmen, foreigners or kids who didn't go to college.

If I counted right...

Four draftees were from the Big 12 - which many consider the best conference.

Seven players from the Big 10.

Four from the Big East.

Ten from the SEC.

Four from the PAC 12 (3 from UCLA)

Five from the ACC:

12 - Lively (Duke)​
21 - Whitehead (Duke)​
37 - Tyson (Clemson)​
48 - Miller (Miami)​
55 - Wong (Miami)​

NBAdraft.net's way too early 2024 Mock draft projects 9 ACC players getting picked, including 2 from UNC

26 - Cadeau​
58 - Ingram​

‘The Godfather of the Jordan Brand’: How Howard White found his calling as MJ’s closest confidant

Posted Jun 22, 2023
There’s only one person who’s been alongside Michael Jordan for the entire story of Air Jordan. Howard White has been the man behind the scenes for Jordan and his brand since the beginning. In 1984, White — who’s now 72 and the longest-tenured African-American exec in Nike history — sat in the room during the original pitch to Jordan and his parents. (Andscape)

Born & Bred: Julius Peppers Was A Multi-Sport Menace

Basketball was Julius Peppers' first love. Football was his business decision. It all turned out quite well for Peppers, who dazzled Tar Heel fans and the ACC with his exploits in the football and basketball arenas from 1999-2001 and then went on to a lengthy career in the NFL and a certain berth in the Pro Football Hall of Fame (he’s eligible beginning in 2024).

Jordan note

An excellent source very close to the situation said that in an effort to raise more revenue, UNC could seek a sponsor for partial naming rights of the Smith Center. I was told this two weeks ago.

Now, a sponsor like a bank, gas company, or online venture wouldn't be well received at UNC, and a hard sell to the base. However, a
natural sponsor, if there is one, would be the Jordan Brand.

Could you imagine the logo on the court, a massive Jordan Brand logo springing up from the roof of the Smith Center, and Jordan Brand kiosks inside the arena where fans can special order Jordan Brand products? And, think of the NIL opportunuties for all UNC athletes with Jordan Brand.

Now, don't assume this is the full conversation I had, it isn't. But, if UNC is serious about naming rights (that would still include the Dean E. Smith Center in the name), this would make the most sens by a gazillion.
