Duke signee Austin Rivers takes a few jabs at North Carolina
Posted Feb 4, 2011
What is it about Duke and North Carolina recruits that make them want to take jabs at their rival school before they even play their first college game? First guard Reggie Bullock said last year that the Tar Heels would reestablish dominance in the rivalry because Duke has "sorry wing players." Then Carolina-bound James McAdoo and Duke-bound Michael Gbinije traded some friendly barbs in an interview in August. And now future Blue Devil Austin Rivers had a little fun at North Carolina's expense in an interview with the Orlando Sentinel.
