Journey of the Yellow Mamba
Posted May 4, 2011
“As a kid, my dream was to be a Carolina basketball player,” said [Daniel] Bolick. He was raised in Chapel Hill and his father ran track at Carolina, so his love for UNC ran deep in his blood. Every kid wants to play ball for the school they love, but many road blocks stood between Bolick and that dream, making the path he traveled rather bumpy.
