Jahlil Okafor discusses UNC, Duke visits

Posted Oct 30, 2012
I didn’t get a chance to stay long at North Carolina, but in the short time I was there I had a great time. Coach Roy (Williams) was telling me about how his health was getting better. So I was really happy to hear that, and then he started telling me about how they would use me there. It was really impressive. Just seeing all of the big men that they’ve developed there and how they run things was really cool. I wish I could’ve had more time there. (USA Today)
