Kennedy Meeks went from 300-pound recruit to Final Four hero for North Carolina

Posted Apr 6, 2017
Kennedy Meeks sat in UNC’s championship locker room with a feeling of vindication and a sense of relief. The Tar Heels’ quest for redemption was complete, and as a senior, so too was Meeks’ college career. For Meeks, the satisfaction of this moment went beyond cutting down the nets. This was the culmination of four long years that started in Chapel Hill in the summer of 2013. (SB Nation)
