Message: [QUOTE="Ward, post: 644068, member: 1958"] I think he'll be in school 1-2 years. At UNC he plays close to home once or twice during his career. That's assuming UNC comes here every season which who knows. He comes here he's playing close to home over 20 times a season and most likely once or twice a year at MSG. He also could play with his teammate Obokoh. I think us getting a chance to play UNC and Duke every year will help our recruiting profile quite a bit. If we can consistently beat and compete with those two, then recruits might not look at UNC or Duke like they're a big step above us as a program. Especially if we're able to keep up our current success of 25-30 win seasons and solid tournament showings. Like it or not, realistically speaking Duke and UNC are a tier above us right now in the national perspective and us joining the ACC gives us a great opportunity to change that. [/QUOTE]
