Some ACC top recruits are off to a slow start

Posted Jan 12, 2010
North Carolina's John Henson has been earning more attention for what he hasn't done (start, dominate, catch on quickly to the small forward position) than what he has (3.5 points, 2.8 rebounds, and an increasing number of highlight-worthy blocks and steals). But he isn't the only five-star recruit in the ACC - or even the Carolinas - who has made a slower-than-expected impact on the court. (Charlotte Observer)
