this thug has gotten away with this type of behavior for 3 yrs. if williams had any class himself he would put his tattooed ass on the bench and teach him a lession. anyone else tired of hearing about the classy unc program. you just saw it up close.
mccants and the throat slashing gesture
- Thread starter lowell
- Start date
I agree that the gesture was extremley uncalled for, but the guy is going to fit in perfectly with the rest of the extermley talented thugs in the NBA :scared
:violin:
was at the game didn't see it, it's unfortunate as it makes the program look bad but he's an emotional kid. calm down lowell, yours is coming soon enough.

williams showed he has little class not benching the player and for not clearing the bench until 2 minutes were left. for 3 years we have heard about mccants is maturing. give him 3 months in the nba and he will be needing a lawyer for some felony or misdemeanor. perfect draft choice for portland. they could call him rashid 2. unc had better beat up on duke this year because without marvin,rayray ,mcancer and juwad unc may be a little thin next year.
A Duke fan can hardly complain about when a bench gets cleared. However I do agree generally on the McCants take.
Yeah, I'm sure UNC will have a tough time getting some blue chip recruits to replace departing players. :mj07:
unc has 16 players on their bench of which they have the max number of scholarship players. duke has seven with one getting over mono. mccants would not play for dean smith.
oh they have good good recruits coming in but the problem is like with duke when livingston and deng go at the last moment,you can't just go and recruit more in may or june.sometimes like with duke this yr you get caught with a thin bench.Dizzayton said:

here's who's coming
Things are finally looking up again for the Tar Heels. After a few
successive seasons that weren?t up to UNC standards, this year?s team once
again has the look of a national title contender.
And not only has coach Roy Williams invigorated the Tar Heels on the court,
but he has done the same on the recruiting trail, bringing in a class that
includes four Top 50 recruits and is among the nation?s elite.
We have UNC?s class ranked a little higher than most other recruiting
analysts, and maybe others have overlooked them because the Heels didn?t
sign any flashy recruits with big names. Even their top recruit, Poplar
Bluff (Mo.) power forward Tyler Hansbrough, is much more substance than
style.
Add in Brother Rice (Ill.) point guard Bobby Frasor, Bishop O?Connell (Va.)
shooting guard Marcus Ginyard and St. Mary?s (N.Y.) swingman Danny Green ?
all of whom are arguably underrated despite their Top 50 status ? and it?s
obvious Williams has prioritized hard-working, versatile players who will do
the little things to help the Heels win.
Nobody personifies that more than Hansbrough, a 6-foot-8, 225-pound
workhorse who is rated the No. 3 recruit in the Class of 2005 by
SchoolSports.com.
Hansbrough, who averaged 27 points and 13 rebounds per game last season,
refuses to get outworked on the court and is a constant blur of motion. He
is a strong offensive rebounder because of his strength and desire to stay
with the play, and his rebounding skills on the defensive end help kick
start the fastbreak.
And he proved he won?t back down from anyone when he dropped 16 points and
12 rebounds in a nationally televised game against 7-foot junior phenom Greg
Oden last week. That had to put a smile on UNC fans? faces.
Frasor, a 6-foot-3, 190-pounder who can play either backcourt position, is
rated the No. 23 recruit in the Class of 2005 by SchoolSports.com. His
gritty and unselfish playing style has drawn comparisons to Kirk Hinrich,
who starred for coach Williams at Kansas.
Frasor, who averaged 13 points, 5.5 rebounds and 5.5 assists per game as a
junior, is a heady combo guard who always looks in control. He?s a deadly
shooter from 3-point range and shoots well coming off screens, but he?s also
dangerous as a penetrate-and-dish playmaker.
Ginyard, a 6-foot-4, 205-pounder who is rated the nation?s No. 38 recruit by
SchoolSports.com, is another versatile backcourt player. Though he?s best
suited for the off-guard spot, Ginyard can play the point in a pinch if
needed thanks to his ball-handling and passing skills.
He?s a jack-of-all-trades who won?t immediately jump out at you but does all
the little things well. And though his offensive game is quickly improving,
Ginyard?s biggest contributions may be on the defensive end, where he has
the potential to be a lockdown defender at the college level.
Ginyard averaged 13.2 points, 5.5 rebounds, 2.6 assists and 2.5 steals per
game last season, but he?s the epitome of a guy whose contributions go well
beyond the stats.
The fourth and final member of UNC?s recruiting class is Green, a 6-foot-5,
205-pound swingman who is rated the No. 45 recruit in the Class of 2005.
The senior class co-MVP (along with Top 10 recruit Monta Ellis) at this past
summer?s Reebok ABCD Camp, Green impresses with a versatile game that might
not have the flair of other top recruits but more than makes up for it in
the results department.
Green can score, pass, rebound and defend, and he really fills the stat
sheet. As a junior, he averaged 18 points, nine rebounds, five assists, four
steals and five blocks per game.
It?s hard to know exactly what role many of UNC?s recruits will play next
year because a lot depends on whether guys like Raymond Felton and Rashad
McCants bolt for the NBA.
But with a recruiting class like this, the Tar Heels are once again in good
shape for seasons to come.

STATE DIDN'T CLEAR THE BENCH THE WHOLE GAME YOU IDIOT. I swear you are a moron sometimes. There was no stoppage of play from 4 till 2 minutes. We were up 19 when the starters left, it's not like we were up 40. I can't help it if our 3rd team can take it to state's starting five. At which time he cleared all 5 guys. Give me a reason why Herb left in ALL FIVE of state's starters against our 3rd team. Please lowell what a joke. Coming from a dook fan, who's coach is most notorious for never taking starters off of the floor. You crack me up.

I agree with lowell McCants is a thug and will fit perfectly in the NBA. With that said UNC looks pretty tough...
"McCants also did one very dumb thing, making a throat-slash gesture during the Tar Heels' runaway. He said after the game the gesture was a joke and he wouldn't do it again."
"Coach (Roy) Williams told me it was something that's not appropriate for us as a team, and I made a mistake in doing it," McCants said. " It wasn't directed at N.C. State - it was actually directed at one of my friends in the stands."
-----
yeah, it was out of line, but why not whoop it up a little. emotions can overflow sometimes. after all, he needed 6 shots from the field to tally 18 points while hodge needed 17 to reach that amount...hell, hodge even airballed the only three pointer he took even though he was so open he had time to tie his shoes.
whoop it up rashad! see you in st. louis!!!
