Joel Berry: I'm Glad I Stayed In College Four Years

Posted Apr 21, 2018
Joel Berry will leave UNC as a national champion, a Final Four Most Outstanding Player, and an ACC Tournament MVP. That’s quite a resume, especially given how lost Berry felt when he arrived in Chapel Hill in 2014. “When I first got there, I felt like I didn’t know how to play basketball. Then I just took it upon myself to try to be the player that I wanted to be." (CBS Sports)
