"Williams and his staff do have some ammo this summer as none of the five violations the NCAA alleges North Carolina committed directly relate to men's basketball. While it's tough to predict NCAA punishments, it looks likely that North Carolina's hoops program will escape major sanctions.

"It was a relief," Bradley said of his reaction when the allegations were released.

That news had yet to reach Marques Bolden. The 6-10 center from DeSoto, Texas, who is ranked 15th in the class by ESPN, said he hasn't heard much on the Tar Heels' situation.

"Me and my dad are really trying to track that down because we don't really know much," Bolden said. "We don't know if they're going to be restricted from certain things. We don't know what's going on, so we're going to look into that."

With Duke, Kentucky, Kansas and Texas (which is also dealing with potential NCAA trouble) also on his list, he's got plenty of options to investigate.

He plans to visit Chapel Hill next season. By then, he, like everyone else with a stake in North Carolina's basketball future, hopes the questions surrounding the scandal will be put to rest.

"It's definitely going to make a difference whether I like them or not," Bolden said."
