Felton, McCants AND May are entering the draft.

850 The Buzz, the sports radio station in the Triangle, is reporting on their blog that Raymond Felton, Rashad McCants, and Sean May - the nucleus that led North Carolina to the National Championship - will enter the NBA draft.  According to sources at the ACC Sports Journal, Felton and McCants (McCants announced last week) will sign with an agent, making them ineligible for college play.  May hasn't yet.

Felton and McCants aren't big surprises.  Everyone knew they were leaving this year.  However, I am very disappointed with Sean May, who said he was staying for his senior season on championship night, at the rally at the Dean Dome the day after, and throughout the season.  I guess the money had more credibility than his word.

As for the Tarheels, this marks the first time in NCAA history that the national champion will lose their top seven scorers for the draft:  three seniors and four underclassmen.  Roy Williams will have to start from scratch next year.  I expect 2006 will be a rough year for the Tarheel Nation.
