Roy Williams helped assist a big recruit to UNC while at Kansas
Former North Carolina standout Vince Carter was inducted into the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame this past weekend, celebrating his historic career.
Before he played 22 seasons in the NBA, Carter played three years at North Carolina where he a two-time All-Atlantic Coast Conference selection and an All-American selection in his career. Carter will go down as an all-time great with the Tar Heels' program and UNC fans can thank a legendary former coach for the assist.
During his speech, Carter brought up former UNC head coach Roy Williams who helped the Tar Heels land the talented recruit out of Florida while he was at....Kansas.
And Williams helped Carter pick UNC over Duke in his recruitment.
That's pretty awesome.
Williams is a Tar Heel but while he was at another school he helped his alma-mater land a big recruit. And more importantly, pull him potentially away from Duke.
Carter also thanked his former coach Dean Smith in his induction speech as it was a big night for the forward.
