Posted Jan 15, 2018
A last-minute official visit turned into a last-minute enrollment for Matthew Flint. It's all thanks to UNC's newest coaching addition, Tommy Thigpen. Originally, Flint, a 6-foot-1, 213-pound linebacker from Gurley (Ala.) Madison County, committed to Tennessee. With Thigpen as his lead recruiter, he pledged to the Vols back in August with the intent of enrolling in January. (Inside Carolina)
