Mullins: 'I'm Qualified'

Posted Jul 18, 2006

With the beginning of football practice only a few weeks away, there was some uncertainty as to whether one of UNC’s top incoming freshmen would be able to take the field. That uncertainty came to an end this weekend as Aleric Mullins received word that he had indeed qualified. "Yeah, I’m qualified," Mullins said Monday evening at the Greensboro Coliseum, where he was watching the East-West All-Star basketball game. "I just found out yesterday –- my coach called me last night and told me." (Inside Carolina)
