| | I know that John Haus has not been fired, so he most likely will be around for at least one more season. However, if UNC struggles next year, it could be the last straw for Haus. Remember throughout the 80's and the early 90's when Carolina was one of the easiest sells for blue chippers? Those days seem like distant memories. In this day and age, it is clear that UVA is the easiest sell. However, although UNC is a few hours south of UVA, there is no reason it can't be almost as easy of a sell as UVA. Here are some reasons why UVA is so attractive to top talent, and UNC has the same blessings:
1. Some many players want to go away from home, and UNC and UVA are both far away from most of the lacrosse hotbeds.
2. They are both great schools.
3. Lacrosse is a very preppy sport, and although UVA and UNC are both state universities, they are very preppy ones.
4. Both campuses are among the most beautiful in the country.
5. Both college towns are considered among the best in the country.
6. The facilities, both indoor and outdoor, are awesome.
If Van Arsdale likes the atmosphere in Charlottesville, he might like it in Chapel Hill as well. If he doesn't take the Duke job, and the UNC job opens up, would he take it?
