Hakeem Nicks focused on present, not future
Posted Nov 12, 2008
North Carolina receiver Hakeem Nicks said recently he hasn’t decided yet whether he will jump to the NFL next year because he wants to concentrate on this season. Meanwhile, coach Butch Davis doesn’t plan to talk to him about it until after UNC plays its final game of the year. “Hakeem and I have had discussions prior to the start of the season, and after we had those discussions, it’s ‘play as great at you can, don’t worry about that’,'' Davis said.
