Kennedy Meeks went from 300-pound recruit to Final Four hero for North Carolina

Posted Apr 6, 2017
Kennedy Meeks sat in UNC’s championship locker room with a feeling of vindication and a sense of relief.

This was the culmination of four long years that started in Chapel Hill in the summer of 2013. (SB Nation)
