One More Recruiting Update

Barry Jacobs On ACC Schedules
Every coach prefers to play as many games as possible on a home court or home field. This is neither surprising nor mysterious. It’s the coach who strays from this path who commands our scrutiny. Thus 11 of the ACC’s 14 football teams play the majority of their dozen regularly ...
Okafor Down To Four; Looney To Announce On Halloween
Two significant recruiting notes: first, Kevon Looney will announce on Halloween, and second, Jahlil Okafor has cut his list to four: Baylor, Duke, Kansas and Kentucky. If Okafor and Tyus Jones are serious about playing together, that might rule Kentucky out, as Jones canceled his visit after UK signed 5-9 ...
A (Revised & Reposted) Response to Mike DeCourcy
When we posted our response to Mike DeCourcy on Saturday, largely because we were very tired, we didn’t to a very good job, so please forgive us while we revisit that. DeCourcy’s argument is that recruiting played the main role in the recent decline of the ACC; ours held that ...
A Nice Read On New Clip Redick

UNC Tutor Resigns In Protest Over Treatment Of PJ Hairston
Here’s a bit of a twist in the UNC saga – basketball this time as long-time tutor Jack Halperin resigned in protest over how PJ Hairston was treated after a summer of bad behavior. In an open letter to Roy Williams, Halperin said this: Roy, after 23 years as an ...
Larry Kristkowiak Strikes Again!
We were just joking about Larry Kristkowiak the other day after he caught a criminal on-campus, but guess what? The guy appears to be moonlighting as a crime fighter and has now caught another criminal red-handed. It’s pretty remarkable, really.
Looks Like DeCourcy Didn’t Appreciate The Criticism
Mike DeCourcy read our response to his theory of why the ACC declined and didn’t think much: “The folks at Duke Basketball Report tried to debunk my theory on ACC decline by focusing on recent coaching changes. Meh.” Well it’s always nice to be noticed, especially by such an outstanding ...
UNC Faculty Questions Athletics, Quickly Sorted Out
There’s some interesting stuff in this article about UNC faculty and a dissatisfaction with student athlete classroom performance and admissions policies, but if you want to cut through it all you can sum this article up very quickly: When Wayne Lee asked why UNC couldn’t just “unilaterally” sit freshmen athletes, ...
Hokies Nab Recruit
Virginia Tech picked up a recruit from LeBron’s old school when 6-4 Jalen Hudson chose the Hokies. Originally from Richmond, Hudson will be Virginia Tech’s last recruit, barring a transfer or some other surprise development.
State, ‘Canes Work Out Arena Conflict
After some bumpy negotiations, including a few public comments which were mildly sharp, State and Gale Force Holdings (aka the Hurricanes) have reached a new agreement on how to co-exist in the PNC Arena. According to WRAL, the Hurricanes “will not schedule events on Mondays, Wednesdays and Saturdays between Jan. ...
Big Surprise – Clemson Beats Michigan For Top 100 Graham
We really didn’t expect this: Clemson beat out Michigan for Top 100 recruit Donte Graham. He’s the best-regarded recruit Brad Brownell has landed at Clemson and should be cause for serious optimism.
DeCourcy Whiffs
Mike DeCourcy looks at the recent ACC decline and asks what was behind it. His theory is, we think, well off the mark: “My theory: Although ACC states produce some terrific basketball talent, there just isn’t enough to feed so many teams.” Well, no, that’s not it. You’ll recall that ...

Okonoboh Picks UNLV

Pitino Pranked
For whatever reason, soon-to-be ACC coach Rick Pitino has always lived with a certain amount of ridiculousness in his life. It may have to do with a certain amount of pompousness, (or perhaps smarminess is a better word) in his public life, although this seems to have eased up lately. ...
Former UNC tutor Wiley Indicted
The first UNC indictment has been unsealed and it’s former tutor Jennifer Wiley (now Jennifer Thompson). She stands accused of being a middlewoman for agent Terry Watson. This could get very interesting as she was also a private tutor for the child of former coach Butch Davis. If form follows, ...
