Everyone has returned to college and that means that college football season is upon the world. As the gridiron games begin to take place, the North Carolina Division I football teams need their respect, and it is vital that everyone knows out of the fourteen football teams in the state of North Carolina, which schools are the best, and which are the worst. This list will be updated weekly once games begin for the schools, and will continue until the end of the season. To start, the teams will be divided into four categories: Most Likely to Succeed, Dead on Arrival, Anything is Possible, and No Idea.
Most Likely to Succeed University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill Even though the Tar Heels came up short at the Orange Bowl last season, and lost a few key offensive players to the NFL, this Carolina team makes the top of the list because it contains one of the favorites to win the Heisman trophy, Sam Howell, along with a more experienced offensive line and defense than last year, which could lead to some great success for the Heels if all goes well. Appalachian State University Last year saw a slight skid for App State, finishing with a 9-3 record and ending their streak as Sun Belt champions, as well as only briefly appearing in the AP top 25 poll, something the program did for seven weeks in 2019. A big question for the mountaineers will be the production of quarterback Chase Brice, but a strong receiver core will bolster him nicely. The defense will be the sticking point for Appalachian State, and it is likely the team will still excel like they have for multiple seasons, and that consistency will keep the mountaineers as contenders for the top spot in the Sun Belt conference. North Carolina State University The Wolfpack was another team to barely participate in the AP poll, with the team’s season high being 23rd, but last season was a sign of upward trajectory for NC State football and coach Dave Doeren, who recovered from a 4-8 record in 2019 to improve to 8-4, as well as becoming much more competitive in the ACC conference, jumping from a .125 percent winning percentage in the conference to .700. The squad kept a lot of their valuable players, and improved their recruiting from last year, and while NC State might not blow anyone away, they will have a positive record and bowl game to add to the books. North Carolina A&T State University Now, North Carolina A&T might be a little hard to judge for two reasons. One, they played no games last season because their conference cancelled football due to covid, and two, they are no longer in that conference, and now reside in the more competitive Big South conference. That information might mean that the Aggies are not deserving of being classified as “Most Likely To Succeed”, but the team’s seven Black College Football National Championships, two of which came from 2018 and 2019, boosts confidence that the team will continue to excel in their division, even if it is no longer the MEAC, but that year off could either work for or against the school. Dead on Arrival Duke University Duke University posted its worst SRS (Simple Rating System) in over a decade last season with a 2-9 record against a -1.60 strength of schedule. This season is not looking much more positive; Duke has no five or four star recruits and is not making any significant personnel changes, so a similar record is the expectation, especially in a conference improving this year. Campbell University The Campbell Camels only played four games in 2020, but they did an exceptional job at losing those games, with the worst loss being against the middling Wake Forest 14-66, only to follow it up with a 21-52 loss to App State. Even if the program were to have a sudden turnaround, that turnaround would not be great enough to overcome such poor football from last year. Elon University Six games is a better sample size than Campbell’s four, and Elon was fortunate enough to win a game against Davidson, but did not ride that win any further, dropping the next four games to the likes of Gardner-Webb, James Madison, Richmond, and William and Mary, none of which were very successful themselves. The Phoenixes also played in the spring instead of the fall; that change in schedule could have effects on the season, but the record is so sour that Elon lands firmly in the Dead on Arrival category. Western Carolina University The Catamounts do not have a strong football program, and they have not done much to show that they have improved. Gardner-Webb University Gardner-Webb had the best 2020 record out of all the Dead on Arrival teams with 2-2 in their shortened Covid season, but the last three seasons for the team, the Runnin’ Bulldogs have failed to crack four wins, and last finished above .500 in win percentage in 2013. Anything is Possible Wake Forest University The Wake Forest Demon Deacons do not have a consistent history in the coaching seasons of Dave Clawson, but overall their defense has been impressive and they might have had a mediocre 2020, but this Clawson era has seen success that Wake Forest has not experienced since last decade. If not for 2020, the Deacs football team would be in the “Most Likely to Succeed” section, but that past year puts into question the idea that Wake will continue its streak. No Idea These last four teams could potentially fall into any of the three other categories, or none at all. They are volatile, play in rapidly fluctuating conferences, and lack a lot of significant information that the other schools have. These are those four schools:

Before the NBA draft, I discussed former Duke basketball player Jalen Johnson, evaluating his ability and potential. Johnson had varied projections, but the Atlanta Hawks ended up selecting the forward with the 20th pick. None of this is surprising considering Johnson’s issues as a half court player, but what was surprising about the draft for North Carolina basketball fans was that before the end of the first round, the Phoenix Suns selected UNC Chapel Hill’s Day’ron Sharpe with the 29th pick in the NBA draft, a pick that they traded to the Brooklyn Nets. Unlike Johnson, who many analysts expected to be a first round draft pick, the expectation for Sharpe was that teams would wait until the second round to select the nineteen year-old big man from Greenville, North Carolina.
Sharpe’s jump into the first round has been associated with two developments: his weight loss and pre-draft workouts. Sharpe apparently lost twenty pounds and during a workout in LA was attempting and making threes consistently with a jump shot that fans seldom saw during his time in Chapel Hill. Of course basketball players making threes during practices, workouts, or shootarounds does not always translate onto the court during a game, but it is better than seeing a player refuse to attempt difficult shots in a risk-free environment, and for a player like Day’ron, it represents his hustle and commitment, which his weight change also showed teams and scouts. Even for a six-foot eleven, 260-pound man, twenty pounds is still significant and is representative of someone’s desire to succeed in the league. Less weight for a player like Sharpe could mean increased mobility and speed, a better vertical, and the ability to participate in offensive plays that require a lot of movement. Since I covered a “player like Sharpe”, Day’ron Sharpe’s play style should be mentioned. He is viewed as a “rim runner”, or a player whose primary goal is to dunk the ball in transition or off of screens and pick and rolls, opening up the offensive potential for a team. A rim runner forces defenses to attempt to guard the paint, and that weakened perimeter defense can create open looks for shooters. On the defensive end, Sharpe is bringing great rebounding and hustle. During his time at UNC, Sharpe averaged 7.6 rebounds in only nineteen minutes of play, and a staggering 43 percent of those were offensive rebounds, which are integral for creating second-chance opportunities for a team. To be completely fair, Sharpe was playing for a Chapel Hill team that shot the ball very poorly, and that can inflate those stats, as well as him occasionally grabbing his own miss. All in all, Day’ron Sharpe’s size and build, along with his strength and hustle, helps create rebounds, and that leads to extra points. Every team wants a player that can fit this role for a rookie contract, and it makes sense that the Brooklyn Nets traded for him, and Sharpe is lucky to be on the Nets of all teams. The Brooklyn Nets led the league with the greatest offensive rating in the history of the sport, and a lot of that could be attributed to the white-hot three point shooting. With deadeye shooters Kyrie Irving, James Harden, Kevin Durant, and Joe Harris, the Nets shot 39 percent from three on over 36 attempts per game. At first glance it might seem like Sharpe and the Nets are contradictory since Sharpe is a paint player, but this style of offense opens up great opportunities for a player with his skillset, as opposing teams have to put so much effort into guarding shooters that it leaves the paint open for dunks and rebounds. Just look at Nic Claxton, a player with a similar set of skills and abilities as Sharpe, who was able to score with ease and play good help-side defense to help create some winning basketball. Sharpe sounds like a great prospect and a league-ready player based on this analysis, but it would be foolish to say he is a finished product that should be starting games right now. He still needs to improve his athleticism for the fast-paced offense the Nets run, and he has got to work on finishing at the rim, only scoring a little more than half the time on his shot attempts. Sharpe’s biggest weakness has not even been brought up yet: that being his abysmal free throw shooting, making barely half of his free throws. That type of shooting makes NBA players a liability and can limit their minutes. All in all, Sharpe could be a very productive player considering the opportunity he has to be a part of a championship contending team that is favored to win it all this upcoming season. As a player from a North Carolina town and a North Carolina school, I am positive he can make it happen. ● The Recommended Content Widget will appear here on the published site.

The NBA draft is less than one week away and unlike recent years, there are significantly less big names from North Carolina colleges that NBA teams will draft, and commissioner Adam Silver will be announcing those names far later than the top picks.
Since 2010, there has been at least one North Carolina college player selected in the lottery of nine drafts, and of those nine drafts, seven were years with a North Carolina college basketball player selected in the top five. 2021 is not one of those years. While the 2021 NBA draft is still yet to come, it is unlikely that any player from an NC school will be taken so high, and that stems from a lack of talent and success not shown in decades appearing this past season. Only two teams from the state of North Carolina qualified for the NCAA tournament last spring, those being UNC Chapel Hill (8) and UNC Greensboro (13), and neither team made it out of the first round. By comparison: in 2015, Duke won the National Championship and four NC teams made the tournament; the next year four teams made the tournament and UNC made it to the championship game; in 2017 only three teams reached the tournament but UNC won it all; 2018 a huge five teams made it to March Madness; and in 2019, only Duke and UNC got in to the NCAA tournament, but both schools did so as one seeds. It is also no coincidence that the drafts following these tournament appearances each had a North Carolina player drafted in the top five. Unfortunately, that pedigree and reputation is not going to be present much during this year’s draft, but that does not mean that there are no players from North Carolina schools who may make an impact on the draft, and potentially an impact on the NBA. Jalen Johnson, a nineteen year old prospect from Duke, is one of those players. Jalen Johnson contains the most overt potential out of North Carolina college players in the NBA draft. He is a wing standing at six-foot-nine in basketball shoes and at the forefront of his game is his excellent athleticism. He is fast, has great lower body strength for his position, can leap high, granting him the ability to occasionally play above the rim, and he can work by defenders with his speed and momentum to finish at the basket. His athletic talents, along with the rest of his skills, are most noticeable in the full court. Johnson excels in transition, partially because of his movement vertically and horizontally, but also because of his most valuable talent which should not go unnoticed: His playmaking chops. Even though he only averaged 2.2 assists on 2.5 turnovers, he can accurately pass the ball in transition, beat double teams through finding the open man, and get looks to cutters and perimeter shooters. Though he is a skilled passer, he was not always careful with the ball as seen in his turnover stats. At Duke he would sometimes attempt passes that he was not at the level to accurately make. This would often result in easy steals and 50/50 balls for the other team. When it comes to creating for himself, Johnson lacks a good jumpshot, and did not show off the dribble shot creation in his limited time in college. His shooting stats are impressive, especially 44.4 percent from deep, until it becomes noticeable that he accomplished that percentage on a measly eighteen three point attempts in thirteen games; not exactly high volume, and when watching these attempts, they almost all come from catch and shoot opportunities. This is not necessarily alarming, but his free throw percentage and shooting mechanics reveal that it will likely take time for him to develop a better shot, if that even happens. Free throw percentage has become an increasingly better indicator of shooting potential for scouts and analysts over the years because it showcases a player’s rhythm and mechanics in a controlled environment, whereas analyzing just three point percentage regardless of other factors can be muddling in what it reveals. In the case of Johnson, 63 percent from the free throw line concerning, and that number lines up better with his mechanical jumpshot and his attempts outside of the paint more than true shooting and three point percentage. Johnson’s offensive game shares some similarities and comparison to Sixers point guard Ben Simmons or even high-flying multi-position Bucks legend Marques Johnson, with the main comps being the finishing at the rim, athleticism, vertical capability, and playmaking. Like Simmons, Johnson’s physique and I.Q. grants him the potential to become a good professional defender, and he was serviceable in his time at Duke, but at times would have lapses in judgement or fall prey to ball-watching, losing track of his position and man, or not putting in great effort on one-on-one possessions. His defensive ceiling is high regardless of some of his lesser moments at Duke , and he could break out on that end of the court similar to Simmons or Lonzo Ball, but right now his offensive game is more present. Now, as annoying as it may be to discuss, Jalen Johnson’s “character issues” must be talked about. Analysts and scouts have noted then criticized Johnson for leaving elite programs twice, once in high school, when he left IMG academy his senior year, then once in college, when he stopped playing for Duke University after thirteen games. The important part of all of this is that Johnson is a teenager, and made those decisions as a teenager. Should he be judged so harshly for what he did when his mind is still developing, and he is still gaining life experience? A question like that might be too big for a draft discussion. Jalen Johnson might be the most high-profile pick coming from a North Carolina college, but he is not alone in the draft. Next week, I will be covering Tar Heel big man Day’ron Sharpe, focusing on how he can fit into the present league, and after the draft, I will discuss the fit for these two players on their new teams, if there were any surprises with where they were drafted, and how they might improve during next season.

Everybody needs a cheerleader, someone in their corner that will defend them and remind everyone why they are the best. The same can be said for North Carolina colleges and universities, most of which have actual cheerleaders, but nonetheless deserve some help in hyping themselves up. For that reason, I have created below a list of arguments for each North Carolina college on why they are the best in the state. Enjoy.
Appalachian State University: That’s right, besides having the most baja jackets in the country per capita, they also get to wake up on a mountain. East Carolina University: They are located in the best Greenville in the Carolinas, and in addition to that, Mr. Beast lives here, so odds are you will get some free stuff. Elizabeth City State University: Home to the only four-year aviation science degree program in North Carolina. Enough said. Fayetteville State University: Blueface went there, that’s about as good as you can get in terms of famous alumni. North Carolina A&T University: The university of the Greensboro Four, this school got to be a part of a historical moment in the civil rights movement. Also they were too good to stay in the MEAC. North Carolina Central University: It’s in the name. They are the center of the state, and therefore the best. If you like community service, NCCU was thefirst UNC-system school to require community service to graduate. North Carolina State University: The biggest college in the state surely has to be the best college in the state, and if the enrollment numbers aren’t big enough, their mascot is not just one wolf, but a pack of them. University of North Carolina at Asheville: The only university in the coolest city in the state, and they get to wake up to the mountains too. University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill: Only the G.O.A.T. basketball player Michael Jordan could go to the G.O.A.T North Carolina university, and that takes precedence over a former president going there. University of North Carolina at Charlotte: There are only five words needed: Regional Banking Capital of America. Also the fastest growing university in North Carolina. University of North Carolina at Greensboro: DaBaby spending two years at UNCG would be enough to put them at the top, but also having a tradition where the word rock is misspelled puts them even higher. University of North Carolina at Pembroke: Hail to UNCP is an absolute banger. University of North Carolina Wilmington: Oh yeah, they are only located 6 minutes away from the beach, and oh yeah, their main school color is teal. University of North Carolina School of the Arts: Without a doubt this school contains the most famous alumni list, seriously, it is a crazy list. Western Carolina University: As they say in California, West is Best, and that remains true for the only North Carolina college with Western in the name. Winston-Salem State University: The first historically black college to win the NCAA Basketball championship. Barton College: Student faculty rate of 12:1 means that a student here will be getting to know their teachers. Belmont Abbey College: Their newspaper name is the Crusader, and I call upon anyone to find a college newspaper name cooler than that. Bennett College: People may hype up the Greensboro Four, but do not forget the Bennett Belles, which is a far better name considering the alliteration. Brevard College: Since Brevard is located in Transylvania county, I would argue they are the best college out of fear that a vampire will kill me if I say otherwise. Catawba College: Their nickname the “Catawba Indians” is approved by the Catawba Indian Nation, and because of that the college stands as a visionary, doing something the Washington Football team could never accomplish. Davidson College: https://youtu.be/TGQID66agH4 Gardner-Webb University: They invented Pancake Bingo, can any other NC college say that? Greensboro College: The mascot for Greensboro College is “The Pride”, which doubles as a group of lions and one of the seven deadly sins. Pretty metal, I know. Guilford College: Alma Mater to the coolest name in the history of professional sports, World B. Free, a name that is even cooler considering the Quaker roots of the school. High Point University: The most luxurious school on this list, and it is not even close. I mean, how many colleges can say they have a steakhouse with live music on campus? Lees-Mcrae College: One of the only colleges to be named after two women, and the college used to accept livestock to pay for tuition. Lenoir-Rhyne University: They have both a male and female mascot, so the school is truly progressive. The school also has what is believed to be the largest Martin Luther statue in the world. Mars Hill University: A university you can attend and then tell people you went to Mars. Meredith College: The first female university to adopt a campus-wide laptop program. Montreat College: To quote Emilie Miller Vaughn: "I wish I could tell you of the scenery around here and at the retreat. People who have traveled say it is only equaled by Switzerland". I have no idea if that is true, but I am choosing to believe it. North Carolina Wesleyan College: The yearbook name for North Carolina Wesleyan College is The Dissenter, and for some reason that just makes the school a cut above the rest in my book. Salem College: The oldest women’s college in the United States, and everyone should respect their elders. University of Mount Olive: Have you ever eaten an olive? One of the more underrated snack foods, and I choose to believe there is correlation between that and this university. Since it is the only university located in Mount Olive, it seems no other school listed can make such claims. Warren Wilson College: Work builds character, and at Warren Wilson College, every student has to work on campus to graduate, meaning that the school is filled to the brim with character. William Peace University: A school with peace in the name deserves great recognition, even if it was just the name of the founder of the university, and he luckily made sure that the school would be located in downtown Raleigh, one of the most lively areas in the state. Campbell University: When you attend this school, it is hump day everyday, and you do not have to worry about being surrounded by people not from North Carolina, because Campbell enrolls more North Carolinians than any other private institution in the country. Carolina University: Carolina University did not feel the need to subcategorize itself by having its name contain the location of the school. No, Carolina University is so confident in their abilities as an academic institution, that they define themselves as THE Carolina University. Chowan University: Khalid Sheikh Mohammed only attended the school for one semester, so it's safe to say that his values and the university’s values did not align. Duke University: The only school in the state that people across the country believe is an Ivy League member. Elon University: The school’s colors are maroon, and gold? That is just too exquisite and fancy to not make this a premier university. Not to mention their mascot is a phoenix, and real or not, those things are powerful. Johnson C. Smith University: Not one, but two Harlem Globetrotters attended Johnson C. Smith, and their nicknames were great to boot, that being Twiggy and Curly. Johnson and Wales University: This university is the only college in North Carolina to have its main campus be in Rhode Island. Livingstone College: There has never been a “living stone”, but Livingstone College gives me hope that one day there may be one, and if there is one, odds are it will be at this campus. In terms of real arguments, the school has produced three firsts: First African-American neurosurgeon, first African-American President of the National Education Association, and the first African-American mayor of Salisbury. Methodist University: A man by the name Chip Dicks attended Methodist University; that is simply breathtaking. Mid-Atlantic Christian University: North Carolina is not even in the Mid-Atlantic, but the effort is greatly appreciated and noted. Pfeiffer University: The nickname of the school is the Falcons, which might not be an alliteration, but ingeniously utilizes the “f” sounding Pfeiffer to make you think it is alliterated. And if that isn’t enough, the mascot is named Freddie, which boosts points in the alliteration department. Queens University of Charlotte: Since no Kings University exists in North Carolina, by default the Queen is the highest authority. St. Andrews University: The university could have easily made a mistake and called it St. Andrew’s University, but they smartly avoided that pitfall, showcasing some great insight and critical-thinking. St. Augustine’s University: This university could have easily made a mistake and called it St. Augustine University, but they smartly avoided that pitfall, showcasing some great insight and critical-thinking. Shaw University: One of Shaw University’s school colors is garnet, and that distinction they chose instead of settling with maroon or dark red is impressive. Wake Forest University: A test-optional school, which makes up for their participation in the National athletic scandal in 2019. Wingate University: Mascots are important, and respecting them is even more important. That is why Wingate University is the best college in North Carolina, because they gave their mascot a full, christian name: Victor E. Bulldog. What the E stands for, we may never know. Every school listed clearly has a well-defined and thought out argument for why they are the best college in North Carolina. Every argument is equal in terms of weight and importance, and at no point are the claims made sarcastic, intentionally witty, or humorous. In all seriousness, North Carolina houses an incredibly diverse college education system with some of the best schools in the world, and you cannot go wrong with these appreciable options. ● The Recommended Content Widget will appear here on the published site.

On Saturday, March 13, Duke University took one of its most drastic measures yet during the pandemic and issued a stay-in-place order for all of its undergraduate students.
Essentially, the campus went on lockdown; in-person classes went remote, common areas were closed, and on-campus students were only permitted to leave their dorm rooms for essential activities such as picking up food. The order went into effect Saturday at midnight and was lifted at 9 a.m. Sunday. The move was in response to an explosion of COVID-19 that rocked the university this past week, with 241 new positive cases from March 8 to March 14 according to the school’s COVID-19 dashboard. In its messaging, Duke put much of the blame on off-campus gatherings, citing “recent off-campus fraternity-related events” in an email sent to faculty and staff on March 13. Isaiah Hamilton, a freshman at Duke, was not surprised when he first learned of the stay-in-place order. “My first initial thought was ‘gee, this isn’t really a shocker to me,’ especially since our numbers have been ticking up over the past few weeks,” he said. Hamilton has a dorm in one of Duke’s residence halls, but he’s spent the past week at his older brother’s off-campus apartment in Durham, opting to avoid campus altogether. “I got the message, and rather than stay on campus I just chose to be off campus here,” Hamilton said. Another influencing factor in Hamilton’s decision was that he had already gotten his first dose of the COVID-19 vaccine as part of North Carolina’s 3B vaccination group, offering an added layer of protection from the virus. As the state’s vaccination campaign progresses, more and more college students, including those at Duke, have become eligible to receive the vaccine. Vaccination appointments were included in Duke’s list of essential activities for which students were allowed to leave their dorms during the stay-in-place order. Hamilton believes the key to containing COVID-19 at Duke is getting enough students vaccinated quickly. “I think it's a real question of time, right? Can students get vaccinated quicker than the numbers re-tick back up, or is it going to be one of those things where as soon as we go off of lockdown people just go back to doing what they were doing, then we’re going to be right back in lockdown?” One thing Hamilton noticed about the stay-in-place order was how divided the student population was in their reactions. He said there was — and has been for some time — a clear separation between students who took COVID-19 guidelines very seriously and those who didn’t. “I feel like if you are one of those people who are definitely partaking in a lot of the bigger gatherings or larger events… then you knew the risks going into the situation,” he said. “If you’re one of the students who, you know, have stayed inside your room a lot of the semester, or have kept to yourself and haven’t had a lot of contact with people then I could imagine it has been a lot more frustration.” Hamilton wondered how the student population would interact with one another after the worst of the pandemic is over and campus life becomes more normal. “Duke is one of those schools that prides itself on a sense of community since it’s a smaller school, so I’m very interested to see if that's going to cause any contingencies or shifts in what they had claimed to be a great sense of community previously,” he said. ● The Recommended Content Widget will appear here on the published site.

Featuring Thomas Gessner, Lucas Thomae, and Owen Sizemore
NC College Beat has revamped the weekly roundup from the fall, providing regular updates on happenings within the universities and colleges of North Carolina through our new podcast hosted by Staff Writer Thomas Gessner. Listen to our episode using the audio player above or check out the episode notes below.
1. Duke University Students enter COVID-19 lockdown. Students have been instructed to shelter in place in their residence halls until at least March 21. This decision by university leadership comes after cumulative case numbers at Duke increased by more than 200 over the past week. (Further reading from Forbes) 2. North Carolina basketball programs kick off March postseason tournaments this week. UNC Chapel Hill will be appearing in the NCAA Men's Tournament as a No. 8 seed and NC State is a top contender for the women's tournament as a No. 1 seed. (Further reading from NC College Beat) 3. UNC Charlotte's Student Government Association Elections are in full swing. Voting will begin next Tuesday for Student Body President and Vice President, Sophomore, Junior, and Senior Class Presidents, and all college-based Senators. Student Body President candidates Dick Beekman and Jeremiah Williams took part in a livestreamed debate in McKnight Hall yesterday afternoon. (Further reading from NC College Beat) 4. The state of North Carolina enters a new phase for COVID-19 restrictions and guidelines. While masking and social distancing mandates still remain in place, capacity limits have been increased for concerts, sporting events, movie theaters, salons and more. Additionally, the 10:00pm-5:00am curfew has now been lifted, and restaurants may now stay open as well as serve alcohol later into the night. (Further reading from WRAL) 5. The Snyder cut and the impact of streaming services on college students. Streaming Services such as Disney+ and HBO Max are continuing to make new ground with a greater influence on college students and the filmmaking market, most notably seen in the rise in new platforms and the introduction of major studios releasing their films through these services. 6. COVID-19 Dashboard updates. As discussed earlier, Duke is leading North Carolina in terms of week-by-week cumulative COVID-19 case growth, a trend that has also been spotted at other private institutions such as Wake Forest and Elon. Alternatively, the rate at which new cases are identified at public universities like UNC Chapel Hill and NC State has been steadying in recent weeks.
