Romar Morris, Darien Rankin stay true to UNC
Posted Aug 1, 2011
Butch Davis was dismissed Thursday after a tumultuous year in which the football program was ridden with scandal and allegations of players receiving improper benefits from agents. Despite all that, Romar Morris and Darien Rankin’s loyalty to their hometown school has run parallel with their college decision. Each said they would remain Tar Heels despite the fact the coach that recruited them is no longer there.
