Mass exodus? Several players might leave champion Tar Heels

Posted Apr 5, 2017
Kennedy Meeks, Isaiah Hicks, and Nate Britt are departing seniors. All-American Justin Jackson took advantage of rules last year allowing players to declare for the NBA draft and work out for teams while maintaining college eligibility provided they don't hire and agent, and appears likely to do so again. It's unclear if point guard Joel Berry II will go the same route. (Associated Press)
