Tar Heels searching for right receivers

Posted Aug 19, 2009
North Carolina is making progress in replenishing its receivers, but the process is proving slow for Coach Butch Davis. With less than three weeks left before the Sept. 5 opener, UNC doesn't know which receivers will take the field against The Citadel, with the likely exception of junior Greg Little. "I think its baby steps," Davis said yesterday."I think we're getting better every day." (Winston-Salem Journal)
