Houston: 'UNC Was The Best Fit'

Posted Jun 24, 2006

After researching his 13 scholarship offering schools, Ryan Houston selected the school that was right under his nose the entire time – North Carolina. For the Scout.com four-star recruit, the in-state school just fit like a glove. “I just looking at them overall,” said Houston. “I just looked at all my options, and North Carolina was the best fit. [Ronnie] McGill is going to be a senior next year and the spot is going to be wide open for whoever gets there. So I guess I just wanted to grab the opportunity." (Inside Carolina)
