North Carolina is too tempting for Deon Thompson
Posted Oct 6, 2005
Deon Thompson always had an interest in North Carolina, but when he saw Coach Roy Williams in his living room, he knew he wanted to play basketball for the Tar Heels. "When I talked to (Coach Williams), the feelings I have when I talked to him pushed me to North Carolina," Thompson said. "I respect all of the coaches that recruited me, and I felt good around all of them but I got the best vibes from Coach Williams."
