Duke vs North Carolina - the Recruiting Wars

This is North Carolina at Duke week after all. So how do they stuck up recruiting wise? And why is Coach K so desperate this year?

Coach K is willing his team to win every game, and manipulating officials to get him all the 50-50 calls. Why? Because he knows what's coming. He won't be able to stop the Carolina Express. He will be steamrolled. If Roy Williams is able to turn this year's team into a Top 25 team after losing his top seven scorers, imagine what he will be able to do the next three years with one of the best recruiting classes ever. Roy Williams has built an excellent foundation for the next three years with this year's class. These four players (Frasor, Ginyard, Green, Hansbro) will be there for four years and be the foundation that Roy builds upon. And Roy was not joking two years ago when he told Wes Miller he would be an important player. I thought it was coach-speak, but it turns out he wasn't bs-ing! Those four players may not even start next year, but they will be very productive for the next three years, whether Brandan Wright or Stephenson or Ellington or Lawson stay for 1, 2, 3 or 4 years. Brandan Wright has already bought into the role of "Marvin Williams". Roy's personal style and fun and exciting style of play and his non-psychotic approach (compared to Coach K) means he will win most of the recruiting battles against Coach K - especially when it comes to Top 10 talent. Coach K drains the life energy out of his players and turns them into zombies - just look into their eyes! Who would want that? And on top of that, Coach K has three Top 100 recruits warming up the bench even though he desperately needs to reduce the playing time of his primary rotation to keep them fresh for March.

That's why Coach K is so desperate this year!
