What a difference a week makes
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Different world the basketball team finds itself in today as opposed to one week ago. Back-to-back wins, especially the one over Duke, coupled with Clemson’s loss, North Carolina’s loss, a slower start than many predicted for Maryland, Jared Dudley’s injury for Boston College (not that it will probably have a long-term affect) and the ACC looks fairly wide open after No. 1 - still North Carolina, by far. Virginia Tech looks a lot better, too.
Anthony Morrow is absolutely shooting lights out, and he’s improving on defense, too, especially in terms of effort. More on that later this week.
Where’d Dickey go against FSU? This is the Ra’Sean story: A bear when motivated, and then what when he’s not? Actually, I don’t think it was an absence of inspiration against FSU as much as teammates not feeding him as well, or often, and Ra’Sean not taking care of the ball when he had it. Still, he’s 20 for 23 from the field in four ACC games. GET HIM THE BALL!
With no basketball game until Saturday at UNC, there will be more time this week to ponder football, and Chan Gailey, and recruiting - and the way they might be connected.
There’s a funky vibe surrounding Chan right now, and a growing sentiment among fans. Whatever is going to happen needs to happen soon, or there likely will be an impact on recruiting.
