"Beau Corrales and Tyrone Hopper are coming back for another year," said Mack Brown, who later noted during Wednesday’s interview (Video) that Grayson Atkins will also return. "And that's because the NCAA gave them the right to do that and they wanted to. So, both of them have told us that they are returning and it was okay for us to share that." (Tar Heel Illustrated)
