Trust us.  We’re just as surprised as you are that someone continues to feed us inside information regarding Carolina Athletics.

—————————-

Our inside-the-athletic-department mole is back with another tidbit of truth that has once again left all of us at Carolina Water Cooler scratching our heads in search of answers.  From what we’ve been told, at a basketball practice earlier this season a player on the team was confronted about the fact that he brought a girl into the Dean Dome following a night out on Franklin Street.  Busted by the security cameras.  If Dean Smith were dead, he’d be rolling over in his grave at the thought of his namesake building’s honor being soiled in such a fashion.

The logical question we are left to answer, then, is “which player?”  Our mole couldn’t tell us, so we’ve tried to approach this as logically as possible…

Dexter Strickland – If we had to pick one person who has ever worn the number 1 at North Carolina who might pull a stunt like this, it would be Melvin Scott.  Sure, that has no bearing on what current member of the team would do such a thing, but it seemed like something worth noting.

Leslie McDonald – Seriously?  The guy is recovering from a torn ACL.  We’re going to assume that puts him in the clear on this one.

Kendall Marshall – We’d like to think that if someone has a high basketball IQ, they also have a high regular IQ.  And our hunch is that someone with a high regular IQ wouldn’t take this kind of risk.

Stilman White – We could rule this guy out entirely based solely on the fact he’s Mormon if it weren’t for the shenanigans of one Brandon Davies last season.

Desmond Hubert – If this weren’t a family friendly site, we’d point out Desmond’s hometown.

P.J. Hairston – If P.J. had drunk any P.J. on said evening, he’d be our prime suspect in this investigation.  But he’s under-aged, so he probably had not consumed said beverage.

Jackson Simmons – Please see our initial “Tidbits of Truth” column.  Maybe being caught red handed in this extracurricular activity is why no one likes the guy.

Justin Watts – If he hasn’t done this during his first three years on the team, he’s probably not going to do it this season either.

John Henson – Henson has too much of a baby face for us to think about him performing any sort of adult activities.

Reggie Bullock – If Reggie was in the Dean Dome that night, it was probably to work on his jumper.  From what we’ve been told, he hasn’t missed a shot since the Kentucky game.

Harrison Barnes – It’s not mating season for falcons.

James Michael McAdoo – This hardly seems like the work of someone with three names.  Does that make sense?  No.  But did you really expect something clever for every member of the team?

Tyler Zeller – Ever seen this guy dance at Late Night?  Highly unlikely he picks up a girl after a trip to Franklin Street.

We’re pretty sure that without proof of which player committed this heinous act, if we select one to pin it on we can be sued for libel.  No one wants that, so we’ll let you make your own decision based on the “facts” we’ve presented.
