UNC basketball preview: Pinson aims for change in culture

Posted Nov 13, 2014
When Theo Pinson takes the floor in UNC's season opener Friday, he’ll take his first steps out of the shadow. As Greensboro’s most recent highly-touted prospect to go to UNC, Pinson is trying not only to make a name for himself but to leave a better legacy than that of the last such player, P.J. Hairston. It’s not the easiest scenario to walk into. But those close to Pinson say he’s perfect for the job. (Greensboro News & Record)
