The 2009-2010 season will be a down year for the ACC. I say this because they don’t have the star players they had last year. National Champions UNC lost NBA rookies Tyler Hansbrough, Danny Green, Wayne Ellington, and Ty Lawson. It will be very hard for them to defend their title. Arch rival Duke lost Greg Paulus, the new Syracuse quarterback, and Gerald Henderson to the NBA. I still think UNC has a chance of making it to the Final Four. I say this because North Carolina had the best recruiting class in the nation. They brought in guard Dexter Strickland to help sophomore Larry Drew Jr. bring the ball up the court replacing Lawson. To replace Hansbrough, they brought in twins David and Travis Wear and top recruit John Henson to help sophomore forwards Tyler Zeller and Ed Davis. Redshirt senior Marcus Ginyard and the big man Deon Thompson look to help lead this team of little youngsters to the Final Four in Indianapolis. This is much like the 2006 season after the Heels won the ‘05 title and came back the next year without stars Sean May, Rashad McCants, and Raymond Felton.
