How high-scoring junior Coby White made decision to choose Tar Heels

Posted Feb 26, 2017
Last June, Coby White accepted an offer from North Carolina men's basketball coach Roy Williams to visit Chapel Hill and the university. White, a 6-foot-5 point guard at Greenfield School in Wilson, said he and Williams hit it off during the visit. “We really just talked about an hour or two,” said White, 17. “He talked about how he was going to recruit me and I fell in love with it."
