Travis is the one with the mean streak.

Speaking of Carolina family redemption, does anyone know what’s the deal with Bob Lewis?

The line-up I’d like to see (it’ll never happen) goes along with the defensive look I’d like to see (employed on occasion).

LD, Strick & Henson with Henson up top in the center of a 3-2 zone, with Davis & Thompson down low.

“Brennan and Rosenbluth were a year apart, I believe.”

Yes, Pete was a sophomore and Lenny a junior when I was a freshman. I played in a poker game with Lenny in Winston the night before they flew to Kansas.

I also still have the ’57 yearbook.

Brennan and Rosenbluth were a year apart, I believe. Rosenbluth was originally supposed to go to NCSU but then Everett Case reneged on his scholarship. Rosenbluth then went for a year to prepatory school before matriculating.

Tyler’s toughness and physical dominance is what we miss the most this year. No way we get out rebounded by 19 if he was still here. I realize this is nebulous but that’s what I was thinking while we were getting our butts kicked Saturday. I also have not forgotton that Barnes and Texas folded-up like a deck of cards for Dook in Greensboro last year in the tournament! We’ll have other great players at UNC but we’ll never see the likes of this young man again. How special it was to have him for four years!

william & russfuss,

It’s hard to accurately judge classes before 1990 (1998 and up is easy; 1990-1997 is doable with some extra grunt work) do to the dearth of recruiting rankings. For the HS classes after 1977, you can look at McD All-Americans (1986 also had 4: Bucknall, Chilcutt, Ried, Williams), but before that it really comes down to performance on the court. Given UNC’s tradition of excellence, it is safe to say they have had a lot of very good recruiting classes.

One other thing that sets the 2010 class apart, IMO, is the fact that it was a very talented 6-man class. Prior to the age of early entries, 6-man classes weren’t done or necessary because teams didn’t suffer mass exoduses.

Hansbrough played his position at UNC. He never played to hurt anyone. He took plenty of abuse though.

If he can learn the pro game, which will require him to shoot differently, he will be successful.

I can tell that other players, media and others taking him lightly is really motivating. Standby!

He missed preseason and lots of early games. He is also very limited in time now. He doesn’t like being on the bench.

Didn’t the naysayers say that Hansbrough wasn’t going to be able to dish out the punishment in the NBA that he did in college? Didn’t they say that he’d never match up physically to the “tough” inside players in the NBA? And now we have some NBA players saying he’s too rough? Figures.

I could see college players maybe complaining about his rough play, since those guys were playing for free. But NBA players get paid crazy money and they are crying like a bunch of babies. Give me a break. I hope Tyler breaks some noses. And speaking of that, he’s been busted in the face and beaten up many times, but how much crying did he ever do? I wish the average NBA player had half of Tyler’s attitude towards playing and maybe I’d watch the NBA. What a bunch of pansies.

Yo, you statisticians, how about ’57? Do Rosenbluth, Laresse, Quigg, and Brennen make the cut? Or maybe they were not recruited from the same class.

I remember listening to the KU game on the radio. Not that I was old enough to understand what it meant, mind you…
