Could North Carolina's Giovanni Bernard Be the Next C.J. Spiller?

Posted Apr 15, 2010
Giovanni Bernard = C.J. Spiller Bernard, the superstar back from St. Thomas Aquinas, has committed to Butch Davis and the North Carolina Tar Heels. So could he follow in Spiller’s footsteps and turn out to be the next big playmaker in the ACC? Only time will tell, but judging from the way Bernard runs, he’s got as good as shot as anybody. There are some terrific running backs in the ACC this year, but none (not even Ryan Williams) can match Gio’s top trait. His balance. (Bleacher Report)
