Lucas: UNC Basketball Mailbag Feb. 14

Posted Feb 14, 2006

Freshman became eligible in the 1972-73 season. Since then, only 10 players have earned the right to be called 4-year starters: Walter Davis, Phil Ford, Mike O'Koren, Sam Perkins, Brad Daugherty, Kenny Smith, Jeff Lebo, Ademola Okulaja, Jason Capel, and Kris Lang. Jawad Williams started only 9 games his freshman year, so he didn't make the cut. (Tar Heel Blue)
