vernon carey is like the girl who loses 20 pounds and looks great, but you just know that once that ring is on her finger, she will gain the 20 back, plus 15. if he cant control his weight now, whats it going to be like when his metabolism starts to slow down? i dont want to spend a first rounder on an underachiever, there will be too many good players there at 20
Why so rough on Carey?

I'm just wondering out loud, but why is he the top rated guard in the draft??

Using a Biblical expression, is the problem that "a prophet is without honor in his own country"? Because he's a Cane in a town where the Canes disappointed hurting his standing with Phin Phans?

Manning to Tyree = Best SB Play EVER!!!!
The same reason that women who lose 30 pounds to look great get married.

Carey is no longer the top rated G. I saw some old evaluations that had him up there, but it seems that attitude concerns brought him down.

I'd rather get a ess physiclly talented guy with a motor and a mean streak, than some physical talent that as to decide when he plays.

How about you guys surrender ogunleye to get Robert Gallery.
yeah if its an even swap! no additional picks.. who is going to do that,if we arent or dont have the money to sign ogun. then i say do it and both gets what they want.... i just dont see how n the hell we r going to sign him,cc and others if it puts us n a bind cap wise.. i say keep cc trade ogun to move up n the draft, if we r going to lose him or our money situation is going to b screwed.. we cant do anything next year if we dont have the cap room!!!

I sure did! Like I said he has all the potential in the world to be very good.
But his ankle, while aggravating, was not that serious. A high ankle sprain sometimes has to be placed in a cast to help it heal. The article you provided even stated that it was not serious. You simply do not return to practice the very same week if it is.
Still it's great that he played with pain.
But you seemed to have misunderstood my first reply. I'm a diehard Canes fan, and I watch every game, so my saying he sometimes takes plays off is not from just one year.
I'll say this though. I would love to have him, but I'm not so sure about at 20

To me that ranks right up there with being kicked in the nuts.

Is that a fact or just your opinion??
This says otherwise and this one lists the top 50 players overall and Carey is the only guard on it. This one does also and this is yet another. I could go on but i think you get the picture tho. As far as I can tell, these are current.
