Pre-Preseason ACC Basketball Power Rankings
Posted Mar 29, 2011
1. North Carolina (29-8, 14-2 ACC): It looks like Harrison Barnes (lock for top 10 pick) and John Henson (possible lottery pick) may be on their way out, but Tyler Zeller (borderline first-round pick) will stay. Even in that scenario, the Tar Heels remain arguably the most talented team in the conference. They are adding a pair of five-star recruits in guard P.J. Hairston and big man James McAdoo .
