UNC Player Profile: Kennedy Meeks

Posted Oct 22, 2013
Kennedy Meeks enters his freshman season at UNC as one of five true big men on the Tar Heel roster. By all accounts he also is in position to challenge for the starting spot at center. Early reports from practice have placed the competition squarely between sophomore Joel James and Meeks. James has a year under his belt and is probably in better shape overall. Meeks is more skilled. (Tar Heel Blog)
