This is a great time of year to be a Tarheel sports fan. The NCAA tournament starts tonight, spring football practice started a couple of days ago, and the Diamond 'Heels are getting into the heart of their ACC baseball schedule.
I read the other day where defensive lineman Brandon Willis has made his way back onto the Tarheel football team but they released 5-Star Recruit, also a defensive lineman, Delvon Simmons from his letter of intent, signed about six weeks ago. As soon as I saw the spring rosters and the spring depth chart on tarheelblue.com, I quickly printed me off a copy so I could see if anything or anyone really stood out. The thing that stood out to me was the relative youth of the Tarheels for next season. They are still going to be a young team with some key positions to fill.
The Tarheel basketball team opens NCAA tournament play tonight against Long Island University. Losing the ACC tournament to Duke stung quite a bit, but the 'Heels did not play well all tournament. They were really kind of lucky against Miami and Clemson and they tried using the same formula to fall behind by double digits against Duke but they are too good a team to allow UNC back into the game. Lets hope they learned a few lessons and will play better in the tournament.
The Diamond 'Heels lost two of three to a struggling Wake Forest team and it wasn't exactly a great way to open ACC play. They came back and took out Princeton mid-week to put them at 15-3 going into a weekend series with Virginia Tech.
