In Bizarro World, Tyler would have transferred to MSU to play hoops with Ben. But no. Reality ***** slaps us with this nugget. Nice.

which means he's about to have a consistent top-20 team. Seriously, UNC is no longer just a basketball school. They've made a major commitment to becoming an all-sports school.

Granted, I think UNC has a better shot at dominating the ACC that we do being a consistent power in the SEC and Davis is a heck of recruiter. But it does make you wonder that if Nelson was happy, how much of a real shot we would have had with James.

Still slim probably, but the choice of UNC is slightly odd given he could punch his ticket anywhere.

Ole Butch is a great recruiter, but the man sucks as a game day coach. They'll lose 3-4 games every year while he's there.

Hell, NC State ***** slapped them last year. And they sucked.

Plus, Beamer owns Davis.

I think FSU is done being a top 10 type team until Bowden retires and they get a new regime in there.

I'm not sold on Shannon either.

I think VT dominates the ACC for the next five years, until Beamer retires. Then it'll be interesting to see if Foster gets that job and what he's able to do with it if he does get it.

GT will be really good and tough to beat as long as Johnson is there - they might pull an ACC championship out one of these years, only problem is they have to beat VT to do it, which they don't do very often and won't do very often as long as Foster is coaching VT's defense.

NC State is getting better - they have a great coach.

Wake will continue to be strong, but not great.

Clemson should continue to be Clemson.

UNC should make a run at an ACC title, they'll have the talent, but Davis will choke in the big game.
