Dexter Strickland gets a taste of home with Rutgers playing at UNC

Posted Dec 28, 2009
You can take the kid out of Jersey but you can't take the Jersey out of the kid. Dexter Strickland is proof of that. Strickland, a Rahway native who made his name at St. Patrick High School, is a freshman at North Carolina. He averages 14.1 minutes a night for the No. 10 team in the country, playing in an up-and-down system that is any player's dream. Not to mention that Chapel Hill has yet to see an inch of snow.
