Garrison Brooks Could be UNC's 'Most Advanced Young Big'

Posted Oct 3, 2017
The 2017-18 Tar Heels will need production from at least one of three freshmen big men. Kennedy Meeks, Isaiah Hicks, and Tony Bradley are all now gone from the roster, along with their combined 31.4 points and 20.1 rebounds from last season. This means that UNC will lean on rookies Garrison Brooks, Brandon Huffman, or Sterling Manley to take some of the load down low. (Inside Carolina)
