The Magical World of Michael Russell
Posted May 20, 2014
Ask North Carolina assistant baseball coach Scott Jackson to describe Michael Russell and he’ll say ‘infectious,’ ‘the guy that everyone wants to be around.’ Ask Michael Russell to describe himself in a word and after pausing a moment, he doesn’t choose any run-of-the-mill word. No, his word is so uniquely perfect and well-suited that surely no one else would choose it. ‘Wizardry.’
