UNC Stat of the Day:


Hansbrough and Lawson staying another year  
More good news! InsideCarolina is reporting that at the team banquet tonight, Tyler Hansbrough and Ty Lawson said they are going to stay another year. ESPN has more details.

When I first read the headline, my instant reaction was Brandan Wright must be leaving or else he would have announced as well. Officially he is still "undecided".

Even if Wright leaves, we are looking at this starting line-up next year:

- Ty Lawson, point guard
- Wayne Ellington, shooting guard
- Danny Green or Marcus Ginyard, small forward
- Deon Thompson, power forward
- Tyler Hansbrough, center

We'll be in the top 2 or 3 in next season's preseason poll (if not #1).

Woo Hoo!!! How great it feels to be a Carolina fan worried about whether players will go to the NBA and have them STAY!!! My personal opinion (hope) was that Tyler and Tywon would stay and that Brandon would leave. I thought of that as the best realistic scenario for the Tar Heels basketball team for next year. While I still think Brandon will go to the NBA this year, I am not as convinced of that after having read some of the other players' comments. Even without him, the '07-'08 Tar Heels will be a GREAT team with great but much more manageable depth. WITH him, the Heels will be...nevermind. It probably would not be a good idea to go there. Either way, I cannot wait until next season! GO HEELS!!!!!
