Will UNC again pursue Garrison Brooks? Posted Apr 13, 2017 UNC made a run at 2017 power forward Garrison Brooks last fall. The Tar Heels hosted the 6-9 big man in Chapel Hill last November shortly before he signed with Mississippi State. Now that the Bulldogs have reportedly granted Brooks’ request for a release from his letter of intent, the reigning national champions could rejoin the mix. The next step is to see if UNC will get involved. (ACC Sports Journal)
