Posted Aug 17, 2019
What was already a special trip for the UNCW basketball team became more special for one player Tuesday. The Seahawks, who played a pair of exhibition games in Italy, were on the Vatican City steps when coach C.B. McGrath had the players huddle around him. That’s when he announced that walk-on guard Brent Jenkins has been awarded a scholarship.
