Erik Highsmith Ready for Encore

Posted Aug 28, 2010
Talent was never an issue for Erik Highsmith during his freshman season at UNC last fall, but a lack of size, strength and knowledge presented plenty of obstacles. The sophomore has addressed those concerns and is ready for a breakout sophomore campaign. Highsmith arrived in Chapel Hill as a relative unknown recruiting prospect from Vanceboro, N.C. that played his high school ball at West Craven High School. (Inside Carolina)
