But losing so many players to the scandal may help in 2011, when players thrown into service in 2010 will return as grizzled veterans. Still, the Tar Heels will need to replace some departed contributors. Redshirt sophomore Bryn Renner, for example, is the front-runner to replace T.J. Yates. (Sports Illustrated)
