ABC - Anyone But Carolina!

I suppose my biggest question regarding the Tar Heels coming into the season is: with Hakeem Nicks, Brooks Foster, and Brandon Tate all gone, will T.J. Yates have anyone to throw the ball to? Who should I keep my eyes on?

That's the million dollar question.

The WR's were the offense last season. That's why I'm not like a lot of experts who have UNC in the top 3 in the ACC. Those guys are going to have to be replaced & the offense as a whole needs to take some huge leaps in order to maintain last season's level.

Not to mention UNC got a lot of scores off turnovers. & the most of the main playmakers on D have left as well.

Potential Yates targets: Dwight Jones, Kenton Thorton, Greg Little (if he stays @ WR), Jheranie Boyd, Todd Harrelson.

Thorton & Little have the most experience. Jones & Boyd are considered future stars.

Butch Davis on the wideouts @ spring practice: "We’re a long ways away. Thank God we don’t play for four months....."

Not good.

Heels pick up their 2nd commit for 2010. Ty Linton, LB from Charlotte. Listed as 1* by scout. But he had a nice list of offers, including W.Va, Wisc, Ill, Louisville etc.

3rd recruit for the Heels 2010 class.

Nice addition to the class. Hopefully a couple more OL will be added, you can never have enough of them.

I'm really looking forward to this season. If the WRs can step up I think the Heels can take another step forward.

I see Butch is an optimist.

Placekicker Jay Wooten is transferring.

Also, two of UNC's top recruits this year are headed to prep school. OG Johnnie Farms & LB Justin Dixon. Takes some of the shine off of the class.

Little needs to go back to WR, I'm assuming he is this year right?

I don't think UNC is gonna struggle offensively, hell just punt it and play D with that defense and you'll be aight

D was a disappointment to me. Last year, they gave up too many yards. They were great @ getting turnovers & that's what saved them. But they couldn't get a 3rd down stop to save their lives the last half of the year.

2 more schollys opened up. RB Jerrell Rhodes is headed to Hargrave & JUCO TE Prizell Brown didn't get admitted.
