Mentors shaped Coby White's path to UNC

Posted Jan 30, 2019
When you watch Coby White play, he exudes the confidence and poise of a veteran point guard, but the freshman is the first to point out how far he's come. "I didn't think I'd be where I'm at," said Coby. "I came a long way. I put in a lot of time." In Coby's journey to UNC, he had many people who believed in him, starting with his family. "They push me every day." (WRAL Sports Fan)
