North Carolina still stocked despite likely exodus
Posted Apr 8, 2009
North Carolina's stars Tyler Hansbrough, Ty Lawson, Wayne Ellington and Danny Green each decided against entering the NBA draft a year ago and, returned with a vow to bring a fifth championship to Chapel Hill. But after Monday night's title game, where do the Tar Heels go from here? Hansbrough has exhausted his eligibility, as has Green. Lawson and Ellington, both juniors, will likely follow their teammates to the professional ranks.
