Profiles in Courage: Tyler Hansbrough (a photo essay)

The Heels lost two of the three core talents primarily responsible for their stellar 2007-2008 basketball season today. Point guard Ty Lawson and sharp shooting Wayne "Pretty Boy" Ellington, both Sophomores, have declared for the NBA Draft, though neither will apparently sign with an agent. This of course gives them the option to return for the Junior campaigns should they choose to do so at a later date.

Meanwhile, National Player of the Year Tyler Hansbrough has made it official that he'll be returning for his Senior season as a Tar Heel. That's a bold move coming from a player whose draft stock has almost certainly plateaued, though I suppose it can't get much worse either. Coming back also gives Tyler a legitimate shot at breaking J.J. Redick's ACC scoring records; potentially a great story there for next season.

Hansbrough hopes to be cutting the nets down after winning the national championship next year....
