UNC preview: Three things to know about the Tar Heels

Posted Nov 12, 2014
Kennedy Meeks' weight loss has been a non-stop topic throughout the offseason. Despite facing questions about it, Meeks has patiently answered them, even replying with a sincere "thanks" after one reporter told him he looked noticeably different. The 6-foot-9 sophomore has shed about 50 pounds since last year, bringing his weight down to 270, and he's capable of having a much bigger role in 2014-15. (Fayetteville Observer)
