Return of the Roi (Roy): Duke vs Carolina

It was a big surprise to a lot of people that Brandan Wright chose NC over Duke and others, even though Duke and others may have needed him more.

But is this really a surprise? Roy Williams returns to Carolina, plays run and fun and gun, and wins a national championship. Oh and Marvin Williams ends up a Top 3 draft pick without even starting a game. On the other hand Coach K had to play ugly to compensate for lack of depth and Duke-level talent. So if you are a high energy recruit where do you want to go play?

It is not a coincidence that Coach K has already emphasized in preseason interviews that Duke is returning to Duke basketball style of play - a lot more fun for the players than grinding it out.
