NC state has a lot of local recruits.They suck.
How funny is it that Dean Smith was supposedly one of the greatest coaches of all time forever and it only takes Roy Williams less then 5 years to equal his championship total?
Jim Boeheim > Dean Smith

I'm a UNC grad. Was in the Marines stationed in North Carolina while attending.
I grew up as a UMD Bulldogs fan, but they didn't have a convenient campus near Raleigh.
Oddly I grew up hating the Terriers and Eagles college hockey teams...this remains unchanged.

When you look at the players guys like Richardson and Takarnian had go through their programs compared to the wealth of talent that was at UNC under Smith and Dean only ends up with only one more championship its a joke.

Izzo does it right with recruiting heavy in detroit and having magic johnson call the prospects doesnt hurt.

Day after UNC won the title the headline should have read "FINALLY!"...anything less than a title for that team is a disappointment, just like their last two years.

This whole year has been weak in terms of talent level.I'm not taking away from UNC, they were impressive but Griffin being the best player in the league who I don't really think is that great and a average team like Duke being ranked almost in the top 5 all year its kind of been a weak level of basketball as a whole.Pittburgh and Uconn both bitched out too.Think about if Durant came back for Texas.Whole different tournament.

You could say that about a lot of teams. Kansas could have returned Julian Wright, Brandon Rush, Mario Chalmers, and Darrell Arthur.
