Posted Mar 17, 2021
Did Al Wood desert Ralph Sampson on his recruiting trip to UNC? Yes, he did. According to the former Virginia All-American, he was being hosted by Tar Heel star Al Wood on his 1979 tour of campus, and when Wood saw something more important, he told Sampson he would meet him back at the basketball office at Carmichael Auditorium. But Ralph got lost. (Chapelboro.com)
