earned an Air Force R-O-T-C scholarship
to attend Tech, where he was a drum
major and played the cello.

Ryan Clark was celebrated
in Georgia today as an example of how

served as a residence hall assistant
and earned degrees in psychology,

Brandan Wright made his intentions to
enter the N-B-A Draft known this
afternoon at a Press Conference in
Chapel Hill. The 6-9 Freshman averaged
almost 15 points to go along with 6
rebounds helping the Tar Heels to a 31

looks like only season on Campus.
Wright will NOT hire an agent,
yet. Which Leaves open the possibility
that he could return to school but, he
is projected as a High First Round Pick
makes that a very un-likely scenario.
