Okay. It’s been a few days. Fans have all had time to sit back and digest the news that Kevin Knox will be living in Lexington, Kentucky, next season. Reactions range from complete irrational hate towards a 17-year-old kid to complete apathy. For Tar Heel fans, most emotions are probably bouncing between frustration at missing out on another highly ranked recruit and a relief that Knox didn’t choose Duke.
Many had hoped that back-to-back Final Fours and Roy’s third NCAA title may have helped turn the tide. For a variety of reasons that are best discussed at a different time, UNC hasn’t quite turned that recent success into bringing in that top, "elite" talent.
