Ginyard's slow recovery frustrates Tar Heels
Marcus Ginyard's slow recovery from preseason foot surgery has become a frustrating issue for third-ranked North Carolina.

The senior swingman missed the first 11 games and played sparingly in the next three before sitting out the Tar Heels' rout of College of Charleston on Wednesday night. Coach Roy Williams said Ginyard is not playing or practicing at full speed, adding Friday that he is considering "holding him out" for a while to focus on rehabilitating his left foot.

"I'm very — you pick the adjective — frustrated, concerned," Williams said Friday. "I just thought, and Marcus thought, he would be farther along at this step."

Here's a similar story. It certainly is frustrating. You can certainly tell that the team is missing Marcus as a key piece. The injury bug hit us hard this year, with Marcus, Tyler, Copeland, and Zeller. I still wish we had Zeller to toss in when Deon isn't hitting his shots. And I still miss Alex Stephenson, it'd be nice to have him as well.

Losing Zellar was huge. I came away very impressed with him. He reminded me of TH but a little more athletic.
