With Ferranto out, who's next for UNC?

Posted Jul 16, 2016
UNC's experienced and deep offensive line took a hit on Friday when UNC announced that senior guard John Ferranto would miss the entire 2016 season. Ferranto, a 6-6, 300-pound New Jersey native, tore his left pectoral muscle during team workouts on Monday and underwent surgery on Wednesday. What does this mean for UNC and the 2016 season?
