Another benefit of Kent Emanuel's three years with the Tar Heels, he said, was the relationships he developed with his teammates, some of who have moved on to the pros at the same time as Emanuel.

Holby (Brian Holberton) and I are roommates here so it makes it that much better.” (Toronto Observer)
