As part of the same recruiting class, they began their careers with the Tar Heels in 2009. They have been roommates. And now they are a pair of upperclassmen who are assuming leadership roles while attempting to return from identical knee injuries. Leslie McDonald tore the ACL in his right knee during a summer league game in July 2011. Six months later, Dexter Strickland suffered the same injury. (Raleigh News & Observer)
