Brian Butch will taking his official visit to Chapel Hill this weekend.

Butch, is a top 10 prospect in the 2003 class, and maybe the best center prospect who will play college ball. Like David Padgett, Butch is still considering 3 others schools and hasn't declared a leader.

Let's all hope Butch has a great visit. I am sure he will be at the UNC/Texas game, so if you see him (tall, white, blond haired) say hello and tell him that we'd love to have him be a Tar Heel!

I have faith in Doherty and let's hope Butch will too. Come on down Brian Butch; you can be the final puzzle piece that we need for future success of UNC hoops! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="biggrin.gif" /> <img border="0" alt="[Cheers]" title="" src="graemlins/cheers.gif" />

It is Saturday and it is pouring rain here in Chapel Hill, just like it was for Padgett's visit. Chapel Hill is always so much more beautiful with sunshine. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Frown]" src="frown.gif" />

Yeah, that's all we needed, a tropical storm with frogstrangling rain. Rats!

I'm hoping for anything that can slow down Texas' offense. The rain might not be as bad as we think....

HOLY LORD!

It's about 1:30 and the rain is really coming down out there. Let's all pray that it slacks up before 8PM. But maybe this is good because I hear the Texans have trouble keeping their hands on something that their supposed to be able to get. (ie. football or presidential election) <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="wink.gif" /> Let's go Tar Heels!

Yeah. Maybe the rain will work to our advantage. I wouldn't be surprised if it stops by kickoff though. It is already starting to slow down a bit.

...Maybe it won't clear up.

looks better now

Hey everybody,

Just got back from Franklin street and it was hoppin even though we lost. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Frown]" src="frown.gif" /> The game was awesome cause we were close until the fourth quater. I saw Butch and the ENTIRE basketball team walk right past my seat and I got the "We want Butch" cheer started. He looked kinda embarresed but I hope it impressed him that we care so much about our atheletics. Good loss today it was definately a fun experience. GO HEELS!!!

I was at Tar Heel town before the game just chillin'. I was watching Woody and Steven Gates do their radio show live when I turned around and saw Butch! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="eek.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="biggrin.gif" /> I almost dropped my plate of ribs! <img border="0" alt="[laugh]" title="" src="graemlins/laughing.gif" />

Butch was with Will Johnson, Melvin Scott, and Jon Holmes. Will did a short interview with Woody and everybody cheered when he was introduced. Most people didn't even seem to notice that a 7-foot recruit was in their prescence! Butch seemed a little bit shy, but a few guys in the crowd went up to him and shook his hand and said hello, and so I went over and gave him a pat on the back and told him to "Come on down." Butch smiled and sort of laughed.

Then they proceeded towards the stadium and I kinda followed them. <img border="0" alt="[laugh]" title="" src="graemlins/laughing.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="biggrin.gif" /> A few people greeted the guys and wished them good luck. Anyways, I had to enter Gate 1 and they kept walking, and I didn't see them again during the game.

Anyone hear any official news on how things went with the visit yet? Just curious... I hope Doherty showed him a good time! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="biggrin.gif" />

I hope a cheerleader or two showed him a good time also. Every little bit helps.
