Posted Feb 26, 2013
In less than 24 hours, Diamond DeShields became the most decorated UNC signee of all time. A day after being named the WBCA’s Prep Player of the Year, the Naismith committee announced on Tuesday that DeShields is its 2013 Naismith Prep Player of the Year. Earlier this month, DeShields was also selected to the WBCA and McDonald’s High School All-America games. DeShields, a native of Norcross, Ga., is the first ACC women’s signee to be named Naismith Prep Player of the Year since its inception in 1987. (Inside Carolina)
