UNC drops two slots in Katz's early top 25

Leave it to UCLA -- home of UNC transfers Larry Drew II and David and Travis Wear -- to help push the Tar Heels down two slots, to No. 13, in ESPN.com senior basketball writer Andy Katz's updated way-too-early Top 25. Actually, Drew and the Wears had little to do with the Bruins climbing to No. 7. But the No. 1 recruiting class, led by the recent additions of Shabazz Muhammad and Tony Parker, did. (ESPN.com)
