Right or wrong, there's a sense of discontent regarding the new regime in Cleveland, where coach Eric Mangini and G.M. George Kokinis are running the show, with Mangini serving essentially as the man in charge. In the offseason, feathers were ruffled when Mangini took first-year players on a ten-hour bus ride to Hartford, Connecticut to work a youth football camp. Also, the lingering contractual impasse regarding receiver Josh Cribbs could be creating trust issues, given Cribbs' strong belief that owner Randy Lerner promised to re-work Cribbs' below-market deal, and the fact that Mangini/Kokinis have denied the allegation.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t&lt;em&gt;profootballtalk&lt;/em&gt;Comment\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tUNC edging Duke for top recruit?\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tHarrison Barnes, of Ames, Iowa, is considered the best high school basketball player in the country. Barnes recently listed his final six schools and two others wear blue, too -- Kansas and UCLA. Also in the six are Oklahoma and Iowa State, the hometown school and the first to offer him a scholarship. Duke was considered a frontrunner for Barnes, only to have UNC come on strong. And the Heels all but rolled out the red carpet at the Smith Center when Barnes made his official recruiting visit and took in UNC's Pro Alumni basketball game on Sept. 4.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t&lt;em&gt;Charlotte Observer&lt;/em&gt;Comment\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tCurry seeks Chris Paul's counsel\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tWith enormous expectations to start this upcoming season as a rookie with the Golden State Warriors, Stephen Curry sought out Chris Paul for help this summer.
