Kanler Coker becomes Fedora's first commit

Posted Jan 17, 2012
Kanler Coker (Flowery Branch, Ga.) became the first commitment for Larry Fedora at North Carolina. Coker made his decision yesterday, after previously being committed to East Carolina. "Kanler had a great senior year. It was truly remarkable,” his high school coach Lee Shaw said. “First, he’s a leader but he also has a great understanding of the game. And at 6-foot-4 he’s a legit dual threat guy who got better each game. This kid has great upside and he’s going to get really good." (ESPN.com)
