Someone please tell me again why this group of guys is ranked soo high. I refuse to call them a team cause I believe these quotes prove they are far from a team and will not be good at all. I look for a simular type season as in D'ohBoy's first year. This group of guys can not walk down the street together moreless put aside differences for the betterment of the team. They will drop in the rankings faster than a Led Zeppelin.

— UNC forward Rashad McCants

Quote:Since McCants began his college career in 2002, he has been a burden to every man who has attempted to coach him. It started with Matt Doherty, who was compelled to bench McCants during his freshman year for indifference to defense and indefensible shot selection. Doherty lost his job at the close of that season. Last season, Roy Williams threw McCants off the bench for refusing to cheer for his teammates during a game against UNC Wilmington and sat him down (along with other regulars) for much of the second half during a loss at Kentucky. This past summer, Oklahoma's Kelvin Sampson set aside McCants' superior ability and cut him from the U.S. young men's national team because of his attitude of superiority. Many of those who made the squad were relieved to see him depart.

1. Why is this in the Sports Bar and not <a href='http://www.ncaabbs.com/forums/acc/invision/index.php?act=SF&f=10' target='_blank'>here</a>?
2. Why does one player's quotes(which are old and out of context) make the whole team have no chemistry?

1. It is not posted on the UNC board cause I don't post on that board.
2. These quotes are not that old. Week old tops.
OK so the star player on a team thinks he is better than everyone else complains about how he feels as though he is in jail and refuses to play any D whatsoever. Sure none of that adds up to lack of team chemistry.
Think what you want this team will not be as good as it could be until McCant's has left the building.
McCant's is good but he is not the second coming of Jordan or Vince Carter!
UNC is in major trouble if RoyBoy can't get his head back on straight.
Hell maybe all Roy has to do is cry at practice and tell McCant's how much he loves him yeah yeah that's the ticket....

"Week old tops."
Actually, the interview took place on the 14th of this month, more than 2 weeks ago.

I think McCants will show you what he is worth this year Doc. He did lead the team in scoring last year. Another year under Roy should do the trick. May is in the best shape of his life, Grant will provide us with the center we need, and wait until you see Mr Williams.

Roy Williams...that sure is a popular name these days.
Were'nt they all in the Big 12 at the same time?
If Roy Williams the coach was any good, he would have got the other Roy Williamseseses to play at Kansas.
