I know Bill Simmons is a polarizing figure here on the DBR, but his ESPN baby, Grantland.com, has been pumping out some really great content since its debut this summer.
They are doing a college hoops preview of sorts this week and Jay Kaspian Kang kicks it off with an ode to the Tar Heels and Kendall Marshall.

He makes some interesting points, but, perhaps, goes a little far when he says, "When this system is firing on all cylinders, the Heels are unbeatable. Duke, Michigan State, Kentucky, and the rest of the NCAA can recruit whomever they want, but a well-run Carolina team dictates the game's pace to such a degree that the other team might as well not be playing."
Despite being a Heel homer, he is pretty reasonable when it comes to Duke. They are only previewing 5 teams and Duke is one, along with Ohio State (which I assume will be written by Club Trillion himself, Mark Titus), Syracuse and Kentucky. It will be interesting to see who writes each one.
