Don't know Travis Riley? Better ask somebody

Posted Aug 8, 2010
Travis Riley has a rare blend of speed and size and is probably the best college prospect to come out of Brown since Nick Maddox 12 years ago. And last spring, the college coaches came from SEC and ACC schools and most everywhere in between. Well, about everyone except UNC. It turns out that the Tar Heels hadn't seen Riley's highlight video. One day after watching, North Carolina offered a scholarship. About two days later, Riley became a Tar Heel. (Charlotte Observer)
