He had just finished producing more bulletin-board material than there is cork in ACC country, so when Gavin Grant took a breath, the question had to be asked.

So listen up, Tar Heel faithful and Blue Devil worshippers. Gather ’round, Clemson Tiger believers and Cavalier converts, because here it comes.
“With the incoming freshmen we have coming in here and what we have coming back, I don’t see us losing any more than four games this year,” Grant began. “Honestly. If we stay healthy, I think we have the talent to be a Final Four team and contend for a national championship.”
Pausing briefly to take a breath that surely will fan the flames, Grant continued.
“I’m not just saying that because I’m here,” he said. “Looking at the talent we have, I firmly believe that we can play with anyone in the country. There’s no team in the country that can beat us. We can only beat ourselves.”
