For North Carolina's Kennedy Meeks, less is more
Posted Oct 8, 2014
For the first time in a long time — maybe ever — Kennedy Meeks wants to talk about his weight. On a recent afternoon, the 6-9 North Carolina forward didn't want just talk about his weight. He wanted to brag. "I weighed in at 266 yesterday," he said, smiling. It's a stark contrast to the old Meeks, the version who arrived on campus little more than a year ago weighing 317 pounds.
