One reason more in-state athletes may be available for O�Brien is the
lack of scholarships available for two of his main competitors, East

after 2007, the Pirates will only have about 15 scholarships with which
to sign players this year. The Tar Heels are facing a similar situation
with 10 to 11 seniors departing.
