Justin Jackson finding his way, from home school to hoops hotbed

Posted Feb 17, 2015
Thus far, there's been little normal about Justin Jackson's college experience. The freshman forward for 15th-ranked North Carolina gets one day off a week. This month his Tar Heels will play seven games in four different states, each one carried on television and chewed over by fans and media. One of those, Wednesday night's trip to No. 4 Duke, will come complete with several days of incessant hype. (Fayetteville Observer)
