Ed Davis a perfect fit with Tar Heels
Posted Feb 8, 2009
Ed Davis belongs. Davis, 6-10, 215 pounds and only 19 years old, is a graduate of Benedictine High School. He also is a contributing member to the Tar Heels' nationally ranked team. "It was never intimidating," Davis said of all the history and tradition of North Carolina basketball. "It's one of the main reasons I came here. In the summer, you have all these NBA players around, teaching you stuff. That is a big thing."
