… in a Carolina Blue sky.
In a press conference today at 1:30, North Carolina stars Sean May, Raymond Felton and Marvin Williams will announce their intentions for next year. All three are expected to declare for the NBA Draft.

Felton and Williams have said for a few weeks that they’ve already made up their minds and were just waiting to announce. No one would decide to stay in school and wait to tell everyone the good news. If that’s not enough circumstantial evidence, the rumor that Felton is driving around in a new Jaguar out to do it.
The really bad news here is that Sean May is joining them in the press conference. He had stated for a long time that he was not interested in leaving early, but clearly he’s changed his mind.
So Carolina will lose four underclassmen to the draft and including the seniors, their top seven players overall.
No college team has ever lost four players to early entry. The worst hits that I can recall in the past were when Duke lost Corey Maggette, Elton Brand and Will Avery in 1999 and Jason Williams, Mike Dunleavy and Carlos Boozer in 2002.
I also can’t remember any team losing its top seven players.
With Reyshawn Terry and David Noel as his best returning players, Roy Williams will have to earn his money next season. He has a nice recruiting class, with three McDonald’s All-Americans and the whole ACC is bleeding talent to the Bigs, but there’s no way to pick Carolina for anything other than a bottom-half finish next year.
Update: The presser is over. It’s done. Gone.
