Re: UNC's Stepheson transfers
Let's keep in mind that Marvin Williams didn't start; Sean May and Jawad Williams both started over him. Coach Williams will at least--at least--give Thompson a chance to hold on to his spot.

I know you just threw a number out there, but if he's only good enough to start for 80% of the teams, then Davis and Zeller both have a chance to take his spot.

Stanford just lost its two main big men. I doubt that'll matter... I wonder if his grades are good enough.
All I'm saying is that SOMEONE will either lose minutes or not get as many minutes as they'd like. Have people taken a minute to see how many F's they have playing for them???

Is he gay? I didn't know that.

Re: UNC's Stepheson transfers
Was it not made into a big story, or did I somehow just totally miss that? Seems the media usually goes nuts over coming-out stories. Anyway, if that's the case I'd think somewhere like Stanford might be a good place for him, where the general community is relatively tolerant.

Re: UNC's Stepheson transfers
Oh, okay--so it wasn't broken in the news or anything. I was wondering, having seen more than a small handful of UNC games this year, how I could've not noticed what would have doubtlessly been a bazillion halftime or pregame specials about pioneering in the testosterone-fueled sports world blah blah blah. (We got a ton of those stories when former MN Viking Esera Tuaolo came out, and even some when former Gopher Zach Puchtel came out.)

yeah but jawad willians and sean may were both better than him(at that point in time at the college level) so he shouldn't have started.

Re: UNC's Stepheson transfers
