And yes, the one recruit every Carolina
fan is wondering about is Kevin
Garnett. Garnett is a 6-foot-11 center
from Chicago. He played at Mauldin
High School until this past season. Garnett
also played in the McDonald's AilAmerican
game, where he had 18 points
and 11 rebounds.
Garnett is considered the best nlav
er in America. Even though ifs unlikely
he will attend Carolina, this is one of
his top schools.
If you want to examine our talented
recruiting class, attend the April 17 high
school all-star game in the Coliseum.
The game will showcase some of the best
freshman talent entering the SEC and
ACC next season.
The game will be a glance at the future
of the USC-Clemson series as Carolina
recruits McKie, Johnson, Gallman
and Rouse will face Tiger recruits Harold
Jamison and Patrick Garner. The game
will tip off at 7:30 p.m. There also will
be 3-point and slam dunk contests beginning
at 6:30 p.m.
I hope these possibilities excite you.
I hope you're ready for what is ahead. I
hope you're ready for Fogler to lead our
program into the nation's elite.
