Receiving Opportunity
Posted Aug 21, 2012
The Tar Heels lost one of the program's best to graduation in Dwight Jones, and during the first week of training camp sophomore T.J. Thorpe suffered a foot injury. A few days later fellow receiver Reggie Wilkins went down, making a tough situation even tougher. Those factors and others have left UNC with just three returning players who registered double-digit receptions last season.
