UNC Basketball Teammates "Awestruck" by Julius Peppers
Posted Feb 2, 2019
Julius Peppers loved basketball. And his teammates loved him, too. "I think they were truly awestruck by him," Steve Kirschner said, "and they liked him so much that there was no, 'Who is this guy coming in off the football field who thinks he's going to play ACC basketball and help us?' They liked him so much that it was easy for him to slide right in and just be Pep."
