Bunting impressed with depth

Posted Aug 7, 2006

John Bunting is pleased with what he's seen in UNC's first two practices. Of particular note is the improved overall talent and depth as compared to the 2002 and 2003 seasons when the Tar Heels combined to win just five games. "It's not even close," Bunting said when asked about the difference in the program now and a few years ago. "We have more speed, more quickness, more size and more toughness." (Wilmington Star News)
