UNC recruits make their mark against Pack

Posted Jul 14, 2010
UNC's John Henson wasn't going to play in Tuesday's game at the S.J.G. Greater N.C. Pro-Am. The sophomore still is recovering from a broken pointer finger on his right hand that he suffered about a month ago in a pickup game against former Tar Heel Sean May and said he was planning to just "chill." But then the emails, phone calls and texts started coming about a UNC vs. N.C. State matchup, and Henson couldn't resist a chance to face an ACC rival in the summer. (Durham Herald-Sun)
