Yeah, Joe Forte and Brandan Wright really didn't need anymore development in college (granted, Forte played under Doh, so I can't blame him for leaving ASAP). And Hansbrow doesn't even count, he just loved playing in college and loved Carolina, he just wanted to stay all 4 years. I love a player like that, even though it's extremely rare. And you can't tell me Hansbrow wouldn't have been an alltime favorite if he had gone to UK and had the same results as he did at UNC. Like the extreme comb-over redneck said to me at the ACC tourny during Hansbrow's senior year: "H'ive shore 'nuff h'enjoy't these laist four yurrs". And what about guys like Danny Green, fairly well-regarded coming in from high school, but by no means highly touted and not even regarded as one of the top players on any UNC team, and yet now he's a solid starter for one of the best teams in the NBA. I'll take my chances with solid 4 year guys like that every time...

I don't think that's the point - the point being made is Roy is turning 1 year guys into 3 year guys, and UNC fans are justifying it by saying they weren't ready.

Not sure which UNC fans you are referring to but as far as Roy turning "1 year guys into 3 year guys," you say that like it's a bad thing.

every media account I've read about the suspects describes them by the clothes they were wearing, which should be helpful in identifying them now 3 fucking days later. Nowhere have I read if they are considered white, brown or black. From the photos, they look brown, or more specifically, like they're of Middle Eastern heritage.

Why not just say it?

Yeah, the reports I've seen say "light-skinned." The kid that is still at large may be the missing Brown student (Sunil Tripathi), which sounds like an Indian name.

Because it doesn't appear that they were...that's why you let the pictures tell the characteristics, not the description through the prism of human bias. My original thought was Albanian, fwiw.

If the dude has lived here since he was 7 does that really mean he's from overseas?

I really hope they bring the last guy in alive so we can kill him the proper way.
I like the stinky pinky but only up to the first knuckle, I do not want a GD thumb up there--I've told her multiple times and I always catch her when she tries to pull a fast one---it's my butthole for Chrissakes I'm gonna know--so cut out the BS.

I take that back. When I first saw the pics I thought of Nico & Ziggy.
