I Won't Be a Fool This Year

[Southgate0809]

I've been duped by an April Fool's story on the front page before. The one that I fell for the hardest was a fake story years ago that Roy Williams had abruptly retired.

Which potential April Fools headline would be believable enough that you'd fall for it:
-Proctor, Roach, Flip, and Mitchell all decide to return
-Lively decides to return
-Hubert Davis gets fired
-Hubert Davis quits
-Love comes back to UNC
-Ian Jackson decommits
-Scheyer gets an extension
-Scheyer signs off on a renovation of Cameron that reduces overall capacity and adds luxury suites above the student section
-Arch Manning switches his commitment to Duke

Didn’t they stop doing the April fools thing a couple of years ago ?

Yep. SB Nation doesn't have that level of tolerance.

haha I like that one. Or even just agrees to stop forcing in an elaborate counterpoint to argue against an idea that the original poster didn't even make?

To be an April Fool's joke they have to be a bit outlandish and only the two that are highlighted fit that criterion for me.

The one that got me was maybe ten years ago and reported that Duke and UNC were headed to the SEC.
