Justin Thomason: Just-In Time

Posted Aug 20, 2014
Justin Thomason has worked toward this moment since he arrived in Chapel Hill three years ago. It's a moment some athletes strive for; a role to embrace, an opportunity to lead. For some others, it takes time. Others, though, simply shy away and latch on for the ride. Not Thomason, and definitely not this season. UNC has a need, and it's his time to deliver. And from all accounts, Thomason is ready. (Tar Heel Illustrated)
