Another big draft for Heels

Posted May 19, 2009
Not in basketball, although UNC could have three first-rounders in the NBA Draft, but in baseball. The Tar Heels have two current players considered top-10 material and a third, a football recruit, who could go in the top 10. Donovan Tate could be UNC's next quarterback, or safety, but it's unlikely he'll ever to get to Chapel Hill. The Sporting News pegs Tate, a centerfielder, as the No. 7 pick in the June baseball draft. (Raleigh News & Observer)
