Q&A with Butch Davis, Part I

Posted Jul 28, 2009
"Two years ago, Bruce Carter, Quan Sturdivant and Zack Pianalto along with LaCount Fantroy came in at midterm and three of those four started as true freshmen. Josh Adams got that opportunity this spring and I think it certainly helped him. We knew we were going to lose a significant amount of the receivers. We were kind of hoping that Hakeem (Nicks) would hang around, but we didn’t have enough money to compete with the Giants [laughs]." (Inside Carolina)
