I came across this link via Google today. Tar Heel Times is a daily (it appears) collection of UNC stories from all over the net. Check it out if you're interested in things happening regarding Carolina athletics that may fall through the cracks.

I've been meaning to post about this kid for a few days, and now I'm getting around to it. SW Onslow's Kendric Burney has committed to play baseball and football for the Tar Heels.
Several things struck me in reading about Burney. Not only does he play three sports for his high school team, but he started at quarterback and cornerback. Wow. Some other things:

While Burney will play football under John Bunting and baseball under Mike Fox, it was another UNC coach that helped sway the 5-foot-11, 175-pound junior.

"Roy Williams wrote me a not telling me how much I would mean to Carolina," Burney recalled. "When I saw it I didn't know what to do. My eyes just blew up."

Wow. Talk about interoperability. Working together, I mean. This kid's not going to play basketball, yet Coach Williams took the time to write him a note about his potential for the gridiron and diamond Heels. Kudos there.

"I'm gonna go in there with the mentality that I still have a lot of work to do," Burney said regarding the football team. "Go in there thinking I want to take someone's position, get the ins and outs. I have to learn a lot before I can be considered a good cornerback or wherever coach puts me."

This is the kind of kid we need to grab. In-state players that grew up watching the Tar Heels and want to be a part of something great.
And the icing on the cake?

"Baseball, I'm very excited about that. I've been following Carolina baseball for about five years now. Coach Fox and (assistant coach Chad) Holbrook are just amazing. It can't get any better. I see Carolina winning the national championship at least two times in the next five years."

Here's hoping!
