Kevin Durant's moves make for a twisted tale

Posted Jun 26, 2005

Former UNC basketball recruit Kevin Durant was ready to commit to North Carolina, and his mother went so far as to call Tar Heels’ coach Roy Williams, who was reluctant to take a commitment at that point from a franchise player who was so iffy academically. A Durant commitment might have scared off some of the other frontcourt players on Carolina’s list at a time when there was no assurance Durrant would get the grades. (Roanoke Times)
