Van Hatchell More Than Just Sylvia's Son at North Carolina
Posted Dec 22, 2010
Van Hatchell is personable, polite, appreciative, smart and goal-oriented. He is living his dream, finally wearing a Carolina blue jersey -- varsity, that is -- while earning high marks in the Tar Heels' business program. And it's probably not surprising that he's pondering a career in coaching too, even if his mother initially suggested otherwise. Name recognition aside, or lack thereof, Hatchell didn't take a conventional path to UNC.
