North Carolina has become the clear-cut favorite to win the national title.

The Tar Heels trio of Ty Lawson, Wayne Ellington and Danny Green are
all headed back to Chapel Hill, according to multiple sources close to the situation.
"They are all going back to school," one source said.
"None of them were 100 percent sure they would be taken in the first round."

Now the Tar Heels will return virtually everyone of note,
since National Player of the Year Tyler Hansbrough didn't
even bother to test the NBA draft waters.

Lawson, Ellington and Green each participated in the
Orlando Pre-Draft Camp and also went through
numerous workouts for NBA teams.

Green, who was injured in Orlando, told FOXSports.com previously that
he would likely withdraw while Lawson and Ellington appeared to have tougher decisions to make.

Lawson was arrested last week for underage alcohol consumption,
but it's unclear whether the incident played a part in his decision
to return to school for his junior season.

Well... that's it for the Lawson talk. I hope Chalmers is still available.

Chalmers would be nice

UNC is gonna be pretty strong next year, all of them coming back and having Hansbrough come back as a senior.

First we lost Scola for money worth less than $500k (by the way Houston able to buyout his contract which Spurs said to be too expensive despite Houston is not under cap), then Splitter punked us...then Tar Heels Boys withdraw. Man,Spurs keep loosin their draft picks, Im so fuckin mad...Fuck all! Last time we had a steal was Tony and Manu (hopefully Ian), but everything else after that is garbage, even our Beno sucks.

Bring Chalmers in!!!!!
