There has been a recent trend of UNC Athletics alumni returning to the Carolinas in a professional capacity. Only a few years ago, Marvin Williams and Tyler Hansbrough signed contracts with the Charlotte Hornets. Earlier this year, Julius Peppers returned to the Carolina Panthers. And now, Marcus Paige and Isaiah Hicks, after NBA Summer League stints with other teams, have signed contracts with the Hornets as well, returning to the state in which they created lifetime memories for both themselves and Tar Heel fans as student-athletes at the University of North Carolina.
