Looking at some of the players...
Josh McRoberts of Duke sounds like Shavlick Randolph's little brother.
Maryland, as usual, with nobody of real note.

Maybe that's a good thing, 2 years ago they had a much heralded class w 2-3 McD's AA's and they haven't lived up to expectations while non McD's led them to the National Title.

Where's the love for the kid going to NC State?

Brandon Costner (http://scout.scout.com/a.z?s=78&p=8&c=1&nid=449872)

He's at the HS I went to.

I listed the schools who have more than 1 guy on the team.

I hope Costner is ready to play the "princeton" type of offense. One that doesn't let a player use his true ability....

From what I've read about him, he seems like a good player....

The coach at the HS (he's been there since back when I was there) really emphasizes team play over individual highlights. Although I don't know much specifically about this kid, I suspect that he'll fit in nicely with any "team first" type of system.

Thats good.

But some players are too good to hold back. Take Marvin Williams for an example. He's the Tar Heels 6th man this year. On most teams, he'd start. He's a team player. Never has argued about coming in off of the bench. And many think that he were declare for the draft, he'd be the first pick. Thank god he has said he's not going pro untl after 3 years of college.

My point is this. Some guys are too good to be held back. And if you were to read nc state MBs, you'd see they all agree.

I'll be looking forward to see what kind of a player he is during the McDonalds game....

I might actually watch this year's game. I haven't watched it since Marcus Toney-El (also from the same HS) played a few years back.

All the way back in 2000. It's been a while but that drought hopefully will end in a few weeks.

The Tarheels have good players and an awesome offense,but they don't do well against heavy defensive pressure.Maybe you will make the final four and Roy will do what Roy always does!

Not sure what you mean by "heavy defensive pressure", but where I think they struggle is creating offense in the half court against a solid D. If by pressure you mean "press"... :D No team would dare press us for long.
