The Quad Countdown: No. 25 North Carolina
Posted Aug 8, 2009
The Heels bring back some major talent on defense. It starts up front (this is a good thing), where all four of last season’s starters return. The senior E.J. Wilson and the sophomore Robert Quinn will start at end, with the sophomores Quinton Coples and Michael McAdoo serving as key reserves. After coming on strong over the second half of 2008, Quinn is poised for a breakout second season.
