UNC reportedly leads for 2017 athlete C.J. Cotman Posted Dec 13, 2016 This weekend, 2017 athlete C.J. Cotman visited Chapel Hill and it sounds like the visit went well for the Tar Heels. In fact, it went so well that Cotman even said the Tar Heels were the favorites to land him. Cotman spoke with Inside Carolina on his trip and had nothing but good things to say. He told IC that UNC “never gave up on him” and that it wasn’t over until he signed the papers. (Keeping It Heel)
