Late Night With Roy Version 2013
UNC's problems with the NCAA continue to collect more players. Late Night With Roy is supposed to be a celebration of Tarheel basketball and a preview of what is to come this season. It allows the team to show off its Freshmen players and show the improvement that the upperclassmen have made during the off season. P.J. Hairston's problems with everybody are well documented but evidently those problems are contagious. It has now managed to collect Senior Leslie McDonald and Sophomore J.P. Tokoto, wing players that UNC cannot afford to do without for any length of time. UNC is once again waiting on the NCAA to hand down decisions that I am sure will be a lot tougher than the ones that were handed down to Johnny Manziel of Texas A & M and the University of Miami. "Johnny Football" was suspended for the first half of the first game of the season and Miami got a slap on the wrist for years of "lack of institutional control" and yet UNC is still paying for their football sins from three years ago. Penn State has already asked for, and received, a reduction in their penalties from their football mess. The NCAA can claim their is no bias in any of their decisions but I am hard pressed to believe that. P.J. Hairston was allowed to participate in Late Night With Roy and in the Blue-White Scrimmage that was played later on in the evening, looked like the 'Heels only perimeter option, hitting four three's and scoring 20 points. Freshman big man Kennedy Meeks from Charlotte, and I do mean big at 6'9" and 284 pounds, had 16 points and 12 rebounds. Maybe he will be the Center that steps up this year and takes charge of the position.
