Shooting guard Josh Nickelberry loving the atmosphere in Chapel HillJosh Nickelberry has been on UNC's campus at least six times since in the last year, which is no surprise given that Chapel Hill was just a 70-mile trip from Fayetteville.

UNC commit Coby White finds new motivation after the loss of his fatherOf all the words Coby White could use to describe his basketball experience, he’s never picked refuge or escape.
