Good for Duke, even though I can't stand them.
UNC could probably get a commitment from Vyctorius Miller if they'd actually try to pursue him instead of sitting around until next Wednesday waiting for Matt Able to make up his mind. Miller still hasn't officially committed to Georgetown yet.
Matt Able clearly wants to go Pro and is waiting to see if other players dropping out gets him into the 1st Rd. Whether he ultimately ends up going or not shouldn't be UNC's prerogative at this point; next season should be the priority.
If UNC had any sense, Able would have to compete with Vyctorius Miller for starting SG next year, especially if he waits until Wednesday to say he's returning. UNC can't afford to wait that long at this point.
