Making a case for Hakeem Nicks

Posted Jul 21, 2008

While there are some ACC teams that seem like decent possibilities to disappoint vis-a-vis expectations, the one hidden gem that could turn out to be pretty darn good is North Carolina. I'll admit I like the Tar Heels for the long term, but am a little hesitant to crown them the team most likely to usurp the Coastal Division from Virginia Tech this year. But one big reason it could happen is wideout Hakeem Nicks. (Washington Times)
