UNC appears to be stocked for years to come

Posted Jan 15, 2008

Another week, another flurry of North Carolina commitments. The rich kept getting richer Sunday when Dexter Strickland, a junior guard from St. Patrick’s High School in New Jersey, made his pledge to the Tar Heels public in a press conference at Madison Square Garden. The 6-foot-4 guard is ranked 16th in the Class of 2009 by Rivals.com and sees himself fitting in nicely at UNC when the time comes two seasons from now. (Fayetteville Observer)
