RJ Davis returns for fifth season at UNC to resolve unfinished business

Posted Nov 1, 2024
"I'm back." At 3 a.m. on May 1, R.J. Davis' message was simple. No drawn-out explanation. Just a highlight video and a two-word caption. Reflecting on the Instagram post during a media day in October, he brushed off the conspiracy theories surrounding the reason for the timing. Was he on the West Coast? Nope, he was at home in New York. (Daily Tar Heel)
