Granted everyone on UNC looked good against us Tuesday but I was impressed with their FR PG. Seemed like a good floor general and was in control leading the break.

Again I haven't watched many UNC games but as they say, "That's the way I see it".

We could really use a PG. Although he would have to sit a season so meh.

2 seasons if its an in conference transfer.

I thought that was considered punitive? Interesting?

Then again, he could get a waiver from UNC or whatever?

There's no chance UNC would sign a waiver to let him transfer here and only sit out 1 year. Drew II sucks anyway quite frankly so I wouldn't be interested anyhow. The Marshall kid can distribute, but is a dismal shooter in any game except for the one on Tuesday Night.

Larry Drew sucks? He dished 9 assists against our defense. Then again, a one armed midget could find a guy wide open on the perimeter nine times.

Not too impressed with 9 assists against our wonderful defense.

He was terrific...they were very good..."against a good defense"

Some interesting words from Seth Davis, esp. about Drew's mom.

The team was off on Wednesday, and from what I'm told Drew had an excellent practice on Thursday. He even showed up early for the weight room session, which has not been his habit. Drew has never been a come-early, leave-late kind of guy. For a long time the feeling around him has been that he was a little spoiled having grown up the son of an ex-NBA player.

Sometime late Thursday night, Drew went back to the North Carolina locker room to pack up some belongings. By morning he was gone. He left without saying a word to the coaches or players -- including his roommate, Justin Watts, who was supposedly his best friend on the team. The fact that he left it to his father to deliver the news to Williams was the ultimate cowardly act. It does not speak well of the player, but frankly it also does not speak well of his parents.

Much has been made about the role that Larry Sr. might have had in his son's decision, but Drew's mother, Sharon, is a far greater problem. Sharon is the one who would call the coaches to complain about how many minutes her son was playing or how many shots he was getting. The news site Inside Carolina reported that in 2009 Sharon called the basketball office irate after she heard Williams spoke with John Wall, who was then a high school senior, about coming to play in Chapel Hill. Sharon was the one who would protest how many tickets she was getting to games, and where her seats were. She is the one whose meddlesome tactics led the coach at Drew's former high school to dismiss his younger brother, Landon, from the team in the spring of 2010. The coach, Derrick Taylor, told the L.A. Times, "I informed [Landon] and his mother he could no longer be on the team. He's a great kid, but the circumstances are too unbearable." The school's principal later instructed Taylor to reinstate the player, saying "Landon can't be punished for adult behavior."
