ACC underclassmen: Who’s going, who’s staying and who’s on the fence

Posted Mar 30, 2015
Staying: Marcus Paige, UNC. Despite leading the Tar Heels in both scoring and assists for the second straight year and proving his ability as a clutch performer, Paige fell short of expectations after being named the ACC’s preseason Player of the Year. He’s the ACC’s Scholar-Athlete of the Year and has already announced his intention to return for his senior season. On the Fence: Brice Johnson, UNC. (Wilmington Star News)
