Posted Mar 14, 2011
It’s official. Brandon Willis has signed his scholarship paperwork and will transfer back into North Carolina. “It’s a bittersweet feeling,” Willis said on Monday afternoon. “I don’t like being with a team and then leaving. You don’t want to leave people that you’ve made relationships with. But it is good that I’m going back home and it’s good that I’m doing it for the right reasons in my heart." (Inside Carolina)
