OTish: Henson, Barnes, Marshall all leaving UNC for NBA

That's less room for Burke at the top of the draft, you have to figure.  It's starting to feel a little weird to be rooting against his draft stock, but I sure want him in AA next year.

Bonus material:

This was the last picture taken of this man while he still had his lungs.

Good news all around. I don't think it really matters what positions the players that are declaring play (regarding Burke's draft stock), I just think it matters if they are considered better or more talented guys. As important as a PG is to a team, I don't think teams will make a huge reach for Burke just because he's the next best true PG. That's just poor logic in the long run, but I guess that's just my personal opinion.

WAIT!! That guy died? If so, I'm really sad about that.  He had a cool and great documentary about wolverines and he was pretty much the best 'dad' to these animals that anybody could be.

Know where Burke is getting his info that he should enter the draft, probably from his boy Sullinger. He should call Morris and ask him how leaving early worked out for him before making a decision.

If you read quotes from Jared Sullnger's dad, Satch Sullinger, I think it is reasonably clear that the Sullingers are in no way suggesting that Trey try making a go of it in the draft. As far as Buckeyes go, both Jared and Satch Sullinger seem like good guys. They probably got lost and ended up in Ohio or something.

I heard that Barnes might have hurt his draft stock with his last two games.  He will probably still go in the 1st round, but people said that he slid down couple spots.

This is pretty relevant since there is a good chance we will draw UNC in the Big Ten-ACC challenge. They finished near the top of ACC. We finished at the top of the Big Ten. They are due a road game and we are due a home game. Saw similar sentiment on umhoops.
