Scott Padgett and Roy Williams continue their long, strange trip when Louisville faces UNC

Posted Feb 16, 2018
In a roundabout way, if not for Roy Williams, David Padgett wouldn’t be on the University of Louisville sidelines Saturday night at 8, when his Cardinals take on North Carolina. Williams recruited Padgett out of high school, and signed him at the University of Kansas. But before Padgett arrived in Lawrence, Williams took the North Carolina job. (WDRB)
