A Closer Look at Joel James
Posted May 6, 2012
Center Joel James will likely have a big role on the 2012 Tar Heels as a freshman. With the departures of Tyler Zeller and John Henson, James is in prime position to take the vacant starting spot next to sophomore James Michael McAdoo. UNC did not bring in any other post players after flirting with Nerlens Noel and Alex Oriakhi. James and fellow freshman Brice Johnson will now have a much larger role than what was expected when they were originally recruited.
