Keyshawn Woods - North Carolina Gatorade Player of the Year

That’s awesome! Congrats Keyshawn, you’re in some good company and we are thrilled to see you in Niner Green next year!

Previous NC Gatorade POY winners include:
Rodney Purvis
Marshall Plumlee
Ty Walker
Chris Paul
Mitchell Baldwin (Ah, I remember those days)
Jason Parker
Jeff Capel
Jerry Stackhouse

Congrats to him! That is some awesome company on that list. Great that he is going to be a Niner!

Impressive, he sounds like a good player and a good teammate. I’m excited to see what he can do for the Niners.

I have to wonder if he would’ve gotten some more offers if he hadn’t signed in the early period. He grew to 6’5", apparently has a good midrange game, plays tenacious D, and stars for one of the better teams in the country. These qualities suggest he’ll transition pretty smoothly to making an impact in the college game.

clt says if woods was going to UNC cheat, this accolade would be front page.

Woods has a 3.79 GPA and is in the National Honor Society, he doesn’t need to go to UNC-CHeat.

Man, I hope this guy blows up for us. We need…something…anything.

Congratulations to Keyshawn. I ave heard nothing but great things about him. Seems like a can’t miss prospect to me.

So the NC Gatorade Player of the year is a 2 start recruit on ESPN? ::slight_smile:

You really wonder about the hype machine when you see stuff like this.

clt just looked into the award. It includes academics and high character as criteria. clt bets that a generic UNC CHeat player that was suspended was at least a 4 star.

clt will take great kids like woods all day.

^^^^^^^^^^^ ;D

I’m very excited about the recruits/transfers we have coming in next year and looking forward to having much more success. I’ve put this past crap season behind me and I’m moving on. I personally could not stand not seeing these guys play every game I can get to and supporting them and the program as much as I always have. I love our school and our teams regardless of coaches or AD.
Others, do what you need to do, or not do, to move on in your own way.
Now I (and I invite all of you to join me) PRAY that we have no transfers out, and everyone stays healthy. AMEN!

I agree, I can buy the pieces in place stance but if contributing players leave my stance will change.
