Leaky Black's And UNC's Lesson Learned: "Keep your head up and grind"

Posted Apr 4, 2022
"Keep your head up and grind," Leaky Black said. "That’s what I’ve done my whole career. Obviously, I got it bad on social media the last couple of years. So, my thing was just grind. You can’t please everyone." But, when you persevere, improve, and win, you can please a massive fan base like UNC's. And that is what Black and the Tar Heels are doing. (Tar Heel Illustrated)
