Weslye Saunders returns home to play at UNC
Posted Oct 13, 2007
Weslye Saunders finalized his plans for college on Feb. 5, feeling good about his decision to attend South Carolina. Not everyone shared his sentiment. "The day after," Saunders said, "somebody came by my house and egged my car and wrote UNC on the side of it with paint." Since then, Saunders has counted down the days when he would get a chance to return to his back yard to play against the school he passed over in recruiting.
