Hakeem Nicks: No decision yet on his future

Posted Dec 18, 2008
UNC receiver Hakeem Nicks has a “gut feeling” about whether he will return to the Tar Heels for the 2009 football season, but wants to talk to his family, coach Butch Davis and his teammates before announcing a decision. Nicks, a junior, is returning to his hometown of Charlotte when Carolina plays in the Meineke Car Care Bowl on Dec. 27. Nicks did say one of the benefits of returning to UNC would be the chance to compete for an ACC title. (WRAL Sports Fan)
