Wright commitment won't scare off Stepheson
Posted Oct 19, 2005
Alex Stepheson's coach has dismissed suggestions that Alex Stepheson might reconsider his decision after learning of Brandan Wright's commitment. Stepheson, a 6-9 power forward from North Hollywood (Cal.) Harvard-Westlake, announced for the Tar Heels a week ago. "That won't scare Alex off," Greg Hilliard said. "He wants to go out and beat the other guys out. But either way, whether he starts or comes off the bench, he knows he will get better playing for North Carolina.
