Like his father — and his father, and his father — Duwe Farris lives Tar Heel basketball dream

Posted Jan 19, 2024
"Hello, Duwe, this is coach Roy Williams," UNC forward Duwe Farris said in his best impersonation of the former coach. Williams called from a "random Raleigh number" on a Sunday in 2020 to ask the now-graduate student if he was interested in joining the North Carolina Tar Heels. They had a walk-on spot. Silence. "Are you still there?" Williams asked. (AOL.com)
