‘Rude Boyz' welcome
Posted Oct 9, 2008
Kendric Burney can walk across the hall, knock on Deunta Williams’ door and ask a question. Or he can help out Johnny White if he’s got one. Five North Carolina secondary players live in a house in Chapel Hill, the house and the position group nicknamed “Rude Boyz,” a moniker started in the 1990s. Living together has allowed the UNC secondary to become closer. In turn, it also made them less than hospitable for opponents.
