UNC Legend George Lynch Says Path Forward for UNC Basketball is Recruiting and Development

Posted Mar 23, 2025
Former UNC Basketball captain and 1993 national champion George Lynch: "If it was me, you throw out the old way we used to practice. You have to do more player development. I went to a couple of practices, and I get there at least 30 minutes before practice. No one's on the court. The guys aren't putting in the time. You've got to recruit gym rats." (247 Sports)
