Sports in Perspective
A while back I had posted about Troy Williams, the 6’6″/190 lbs small forward, that was set to either choose North Carolina or Kentucky and then decided a day later to postpone. I thought that it would be a short while before he did finally pick either the Tar Heels or the Wildcats, however that [...]
I had promised you an update on Troy Williams and where he would be going to college next year. Well, I come with half of that, an update, but the other half, where he will be playing college ball, we will all have to wait as he tweeted that he was not ready to make [...]
On his twitter account Troy Williams has announced that tomorrow, probably after school, he will give his decision on whether he will head to North Carolina or Kentucky to play college ball.

From a small blog post from ESPN comes word that both Tyler Zeller, who yesterday did whirlwind tour with the World Leader in Sports, and Kendall Marshall have hired an agent.

At that time the trio from North Carolina had not yet declared for the NBA Draft, something they did a few days later. With senior Tyler Zeller graduating, junior John Henson declaring early [...]
Mizzou’s Frank Haith explained the Tigers’ first-round loss to Norfolk State saying they had not looked at film. Coach K of Duke said they lost because they didn’t know what a Mountain Hawk was. Other coaches also explained their losses in the 2012 NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament in this candid, yet not real, interview with coaches.

The young man, who helped lead the Tar Heels to a 32-6 record, [...]
