North Carolina comes in at number 8 and 3rd in the ACC. I remember when Sterling Manley was being recruited out of Pickerington High School in Ohio. I was hopeful that Dayton might have a chance to recruit him. The reports were that he was big but a raw player. Then, it seemed, North Carolina swooped in and all recruiting was over. I see that he only averaged 5 points a game in his freshman season but they are expected big things from him this year.
Looking at the five star recruits on this team reminds us of the monumental achievement of Dayton beating North Carolina and winning the NIT. My co-workers, who were North Carolina fans, were speechless. I didn’t rub it in too much. I just said, “Did you see the final score of that game?” Their reaction was, “well you caught North Carolina in a down year.” I scoffed but let it go.
