I'm confused.

Are we looking for bball players from UNC, or players that played in the state of NC? (Duke, Wake, NCS, ASU, Elon, etc)

I think every program has a few seasons that fans "don't speak of" and that season was one of em! Another thing about Johnson, he may be one of the few starters to have red hair. Just off the top of my head I can't think of any.

Wow PhoenixPhan, you had me stumped on this one. I had to look this one up. Unless I missed someone scanning the rosters, the last player to play for UNC with a first name beginning with "F" is Frank Goodwin of the '54-'55 Heels. However, I'll go with Fritz Nagy of Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio of the '42-'43 squad because I like his name better. I was tempted to say Fred Brown of Georgetown because of his help in '82. xlolxxlolx

Fritz Nagy

February 16th, 2009, 09:42 AM

Yeah, the F's along with a few others have been tough to find. I still can't get over that handoff to Worthy to seal that game! Hmm, N's are tough too now that I think about it.
