Lucas: Leadership Role May Belong To Ginyard

Posted Oct 10, 2007

"Marcus could be a big-time leader because he speaks up a lot," Mike Copeland says. "He wants everyone to be better. I see him stepping up a lot more this year." Marcus Ginyard's emergence into that role began late last season. But at that point, he was still a sophomore, with a pair of contributing seniors ahead of him. And he still had to reconcile his friendly, outgoing nature with the team's need for a leader to occasionally bark at players. (Tar Heel Blue)
