K.J. Smith, Son of Kenny Smith, Joining UNC Basketball Team

Posted Jun 19, 2017
K.J. Smith has been waiting on the news he received Monday for quite sometime. That's why he didn't talk about it to almost anyone. Jinxing an opportunity to play at the school his mother graduated from, and his father starred at 30 years ago, just wasn't worth it. Now, after receiving an admission letter from UNC, the Thousand Oaks, Calif. native is heading east to become a Tar Heel Basketball walk-on. (Inside Carolina)
