Mack Brown explains difficulty in roster building at North Carolina

Posted Jul 16, 2022
"People are used to a basketball player coming in that’s a 5-star and a one and done," Mack Brown said. "He comes in, he’s great, then (fans) say ‘what about those linemen you signed? Where are they?’ ‘Well, this one hurt his knee and this one hurt his shoulder.’ But they have to grow up. It takes more time. The best players are freshmen and sophomores." (On3.com)
