HB, do you know if Davis and the other 2 guys are starting school this summer? The only thing I see that could possibly prevent Davis from not getting as much PT as I'm predicting is if he doesn't get bigger. That seems to be the biggest "knock" on him.
Anyway, I'm not trying to say "I'm right, you're all wrong" with this. I actually really liked Thompson last year and thought he did a very nice job complementing Hansbrough. It's just that a lot of the reports I read (McDonalds, Hoop Summit) were really talking him up. He rebounds, has great length, and is a decent passer - he just sounds a lot like Thompson only better skilled. I know none of you are arguing that Thompson has more skills, just that Thompson is the proven, upperclassman. Haha... watch... Zeller will come in and steal both their spots. |
No idea. I think bball223 is more qualified to answer that.

Re: UNC's Stepheson transfers
This was the worst kept secret in Chapel Hill. Why he didn't transfer after his freshman year, I'll never know. Transfer to a Pac-10 school.

Yeah I believe Zeller and Davis will both be there come the end of June, in fact most every scholarship basketball player does that. They will be lifting, working out, and scrimmaging with the team. I expect Davis to make an impact next year not as sold on Zeller.

On May 22, Andy Katz of ESPN wrote: "Former North Carolina Tar Heel Alex Stepheson, who transferred to be closer to his family, is likely going to end up in the Pac-10, with member schools pursuing him, notably UCLA and Oregon State."

Re: UNC's Stepheson transfers
Doubt it would happen, but that would be a huge get for Craig Robinson at Oregon St.

Re: UNC's Stepheson transfers
I've heard that he may be looking to transfer into an LA area school as that would give him the best chance at receiving a hardship waiver.
