Anyone else notice how virtually ALL North Carolina prospects end up being TRASH in the NBA?

What happened to this one dominant program? Not since Vince Carter have they given the NBA a star player. Lets look at some of these players from the last 10 years.

2015 - J.P Tokoto
2014 - P.J Hairston
2013 - Reggie Bullock
2012 - Harrison Barnes. Kendall Marshall. John Henson. Tyler Zeller
2011 - NOBODY
2010 - Ed Davis
2009 - Tyler Hansbrough, Ty Lawson. Wayne Ellington. Danny Green
2008 - NOBODY
2007 - Brandan Wright. Rayshawn Terry
2006 - David Noel
2005 - Raymond Felton. Marvin Williams. Sean May

Not even ONE allstar player in the last 10 years. And if we go all the way back even further, from 1995-2015, NC has only produced 4 All Star players: Antawn Jamison, Rasheed, Stackhouse and Vince. 4 allstars in 20 years.:scust:

Ty Lawson and Harrison Barnes, two role players, are the highlights of North Carolina in the last 10 years. Has any other legendary school fallen off this much when it comes to producing superstar talent? Duke sure hasn't. If I'm an NBA GM, I'm very hesitant drafting a NC prospect in the 1st round. Brice Johnson :scusthov: about to continue the trash legacy. North Carolina fans, please explain this.:what:

Understandable but we expect better from a powerhouse such as North Carolina.

Those days are over.

North Carolina fell off almost instantly as soon as Dean left.
And around that time, top high school players who normally might've been a lock for North Carolina or Duke
started saying "fucc that" and going pro.
These days, it's hard to say that anyone is a "powerhouse" anymore, knowing that Butler, VCU, or Harvard
could catch them slipping in the Sweet 16...

It has been a while since Carolina has produced a star in the NBA. They still get good recruits though but those top 5 types don't really go there anymore. Roy has been winning with top 20-50 type of high school talent not the guys who are destined for the NBA from the age of 15 or so. Out of all those guys on that list no one but Barnes Marvin Williams and maybe Ty Lawson were seen as sure fire NBA players coming out of high school. Maybe McCants and Felton too.
