Wayne Ellington has a real home advantage
Posted Mar 27, 2009
There are a number of factors that could pull Wayne Ellington back to UNC for his senior season: the drive to earn his degree, the desire to try to reach another Final Four, the goal of raising his NBA stock. And of course, his dad's fried chicken. Since his parents moved from Philadelphia to Tobacco Road, the sharpshooter has been able to enjoy some home cooking – and all the relaxation that goes along with it. It's all a 20-minute drive away.
