THE NBA DRAFT, ACC RECAP
Not sure why the title of this entry is all-caps, but… well… too lazy to fix it. In any event, the ACC had a very good NFL draft, with 9 players drafted in the first round. The first round of the NBA draft went pretty well too, with 7 of the first 30 selections coming from the ACC. Overall, 12 of the 60 selections were ACC… exactly 20%. Given that 14 players were from foreign countries, that means that 12 of 46–selections were ACC, more than 25%. Not too shabby. Nicely done, ACC!

Lindsay, Jones exit – MLB draft kind to Diamond Heels
This time last year, coach Mike Fox and the Diamond Heels were reeling after losing 10 commits to the 2014 MLB draft which showed up significantly (in a bad way) in both the regular season and ACC tournament in the form of pitching. After losing many talented freshman, there just seemed to not be enough manpower in that particular area to sustain momentum down the stretch. This ultimately led to the Heels missing taking part in the NCAAT for the first time since 2001.
Even though the top 2 recruits the Diamond Heels had signed ended up being drafted, the class is still loaded and with some much needed relief in the form of pitchers. One of those pitching commits (two total) ranks in the Top 75 nationally.
The in-state class is led by 2nd ranked RHP and 10th ranked player overall in the state of North Carolina- Cole Aker and will be looked at to help add stability at the mound similar to what they enjoyed back in 2014.
I’ll have a breakdown of the entire recruiting class this summer along with the other UNC teams as we gear up for the new season.
Around the ACC: The NCAA Lacrosse Tournaments
There are several NCAA tournaments in play right now.
Men’s Lacrosse.
With all 5 ACC teams having good/great seasons (all seeded 7th or higher), expectations were high. #1 Notre Dame did what it needed to, defeating Towson, 12-10. #2 Syracuse had its way with Marist, 20-8. #3 North Carolina held serve against Colgage, 19-12. #5 seeded Duke was upset by Ohio State, 16-11. #7 Virginia was obliterated by Johns Hopkins, 19-7. So that’s three of the final 8 teams for the ACC.
Next up, Notre Dame will play unseeded Albany on May 16, with the winner to face the winner of Ohio State vs. Denver. #2 Syracuse will play Johns Hopkins, with North Carolina playing Maryland in the other quarterfinal.
Womens Lacrosse.
The women are also down to 8 teams, including (again) 3 ACC teams. #1 seeded Maryland will play #8 Northwestern in one quarterfinal, while unseeded Loyola will play #4 Syracuse. In the other quarterfinals, #3 Duke will play Princeton and #2 North Carolina will play Penn State. Virginia was eliminated by Penn State.
