Little Rock Christian’s Romani Thurman, the daughter of former University of Arkansas basketball great Scotty Thurman, orally committed to play volleyball for North Carolina on Sunday.
A junior, Thurman picked the Tar Heels over scholarship offers from Arkansas, North Carolina State, Kansas State, Louisville, and others.
She took official visits to Arkansas, North Carolina, North Carolina State, Louisville and Kansas State.
“Going into the process, I knew my priority was the cultural of the volleyball program as well as the culture of the school as a whole,” said Thurman, who has a 4.0 grade point average.
