A Shot, a Miss, and Criticism Fueled Jae'Lyn Withers Toward this Season

Posted Oct 8, 2024
"The biggest thing that really stuck with me (about last season) was taking in the doubt, the hate, and building on it. Focusing on those things that they’re critiquing and making it to where they can’t say that anymore," UNC forward Jae'Lyn Withers said. The ugliness from fans hit Withers deeply. He read much of it, perhaps he couldn’t turn away from it. (Tar Heel Illustrated)
