JV's Robinson grew up on UNC's bench

Posted Dec 27, 2011
For seven seasons, Denzel Robinson sat near the end of North Carolina’s bench, often mistaken for a player as he poked his head into team huddles and cheered every play. Now, he’s the real thing: a sophomore forward on the Tar Heels' junior varsity team. “I am very proud of him for making that decision, for electing to want to put on the Carolina uniform,” said his dad, Steve Robinson, a UNC assistant coach.
