James Okonkwo Quickly Finds a Home Beneath UNC Basketball’s Banners

Posted Oct 13, 2023
"I looked up, I had to step back a few times," UNC basketball transfer James Okonkwo said, his eyes darting overhead. "I didn’t know what all the jerseys and everything were about. And I was like, ‘whoa, we’ve won that many?’ And there were this many great people, and all these banners. So this is what winning looks like, and I could get used to this." (Inside Carolina)
