Here's a neat piece on three players from Nigeria,
and how they came to the States to play high school basketball. One of
the players mentioned is Uche Echefu, a forward prospect who will
graduate this year. Roy Williams is hot on his trail, and the Heels are
definitely in the mix to add to this year's class.
Rashanda McCants
joins the Tar Heels' Women's basketball team this fall, just after her
brother helped the men to the national championship. The Orlando
Sentinel named Rashanda to their All-Southern team.
Here's an interesting excerpt:
But while one McCants prepares to enroll in Chapel Hill, the other is
making preparations to leave. Rashad has hired an agent, meaning he
cannot change his mind about the NBA. Many North Carolina fans thought
his sister might convince him to stay one more year.
I was one of those fans, I have to say. I hoped Rashad might want to be there for a year for Rashanda. Oh well.
P.S. Marvin has hired an agent. Here's wishing the best for a true future superstar. Once a Heel, always a Heel.
Unless your name is Mahktar Ndiaye.

Wow! I'm so glad to hear that someone besides me despises Mahktar. His name is a cuss word in my house. I don't like to admit that we ever had him on our team, particularly after the Utah incident. He is the only Tar Heel player I have ever disliked. Dean must have been pretty desperate for a big and five extra fouls when he took him on.
