Tar Heels can weather Bullock’s departure, but stakes raised on recruit Wiggins

Posted Apr 17, 2013
For the Tar Heels, Reggie Bullock’s departure isn’t the worst news, not after P.J. Hairston decided to return. As much as Bullock will be missed, for his experience, rebounding and defense as much as his shooting, losing both would have dealt a prospectively fatal blow to North Carolina’s perimeter scoring ability. With Hairston back, along with Leslie McDonald and J.P. Tokoto, there are enough pieces in place. (Charlotte Observer)
