Sidney gets his first McDonald's All-American

McDonald's All-American Rosters were announced yesterday, and State recruit J. J. Hickson is included. This doesn't really change any of the recruiting classes, but it is a stamp of approval that seems to stick with kids throughout their college career, and also validates a coaches recruiting ability. Let's hope this is the first of many that Coach Lowe gets.

Other notables, Duke has 3, GaTech has 1. It shouldn't be a surprise that coming off probably the best recruiting class in UNC recent history, Roy Williams has none.
