Preparing for South Carolina, UNC coach Larry Fedora reminded of ones who got away

CHAPEL HILL

There are those who get away in recruiting who never cause too much grief when they do because they never come back to remind coaches up close and in person of what could have been. Then there are those like Pharoh Cooper.

He's the receiver who went from Havelock High School, not too far from Morehead City and Atlantic Beach, to the middle of South Carolina, where he has become one of the most dynamic players in college football. UNC will face him on Thursday night when it opens the season against South Carolina.
