Heels' corps of receivers should be able to catch on

Posted Aug 9, 2009
Hakeem Nicks is gone. Brandon Tate is gone. Brooks Foster is gone. Together, they caught 114 passes last season. North Carolina's entire returning roster caught 50. Which raises the question: So what if T.J. Yates is coming back -- who exactly is going to catch the ball when he throws it? This is the main concern most observers have about the Tar Heels, who have back nine starters on defense from an 8-5 team. (Raleigh News & Observer)
