Lucas: Davis Likes Yates' Progress
Posted May 13, 2008
"T.J. [Yates] is making very good progress," head coach Butch Davis said this week. "He's throwing three days a week and he's throwing between 40 and 60 yards. They've got him on a pitch count, kind of like with a baseball pitcher. He's throwing between 45 and 70 balls a day, with varying velocity and distance." Yates was part of a sizable contingent of Tar Heels who watched spring practice from the sidelines.
