Lucas: Rookie Show Becomes A Highlight

Posted Aug 21, 2006

Monday evening marks the annual Carolina football rookie talent show. Nights like this are a regular feature of NFL training camps, but they're not as common in college--at least not sanctioned by and featuring the coaching staff. But with John Bunting's pro background, it seemed like a good addition to the rigorous training camp schedule. It began as a way to make freshmen feel like more of a part of the team and has since expanded to include anyone with talent, no matter how dubious the talent might be. (Tar Heel Blue)
