Former Michigan State standout wide receiver Charles Rogers is once again in the limelight, but this time, he might have preferred staying in the dark.
An ESPN report on Monday said Rogers tested positive for a drug masking agent while at February's NFL combine in Indianapolis.
But Rogers' agent Kevin Poston told ESPN the former Spartan was having a hard time urinating that day, and that all he did was drink an excessive amount of water.
The Detroit Lions-who many analysts expect to pick Rogers with the second pick in the April 26 NFL Draft-defended him.
\All of that is between Charles, the NFL and his agent, and that's it,"" Lions President Matt Millen said. ""It's a confidential thing, and I can't and won't get into anything publicly about it.""
Just a week after leading his Kansas Jayhawks to the National Championship game, Head Coach Roy Williams informed Kansas that he is leaving Lawrence, Kansas, to take the head coaching job at his alma mater The University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill.
Williams, a North Carolina native, returns to the campus where he played collegiate basketball and spent 10 years as an assistant under college basketball coaching legend Dean Smith.
Over the course of his 15 seasons at KU, Williams established himself as one of the premiere coaches in the country. He led his Jayhawks to 14 NCAA Tournament berths, missing the Big Dance in only his first season at KU. Williams finished his coaching career at Kansas with 418 wins and a .805 winning percentage, including three Final Fours but never a national championship. He coached his final game for Kansas, in the national title game against Syracuse last week.
The decision by Williams comes three years after he turned down an offer to take the place of Dean Smith at UNC. Williams will replace Matt Doherty, who resigned from North Carolina prior to the Final Four.
Awaiting him at UNC will be plenty of young talent and a rich recruiting pool that only the premiere programs in the country have.
Freshmen forward Rashard McCants, guard Raymond Felton and forward Sean May and sophomore forward Jawad Williams will no doubt provide Williams with plenty of talent to restore North Carolina to the prominence that the program experienced under Dean Smith's reign.
