Roy Williams and the North Carolina Tar Heels are looking to get off to a good start with the recruiting class of 2022. In the stands for the Tar Heels’ disappointing 71-70 loss to Boston College last Saturday was 6-foot-7 small forward Derrick ‘DJ’ Nix.
“The atmosphere was amazing,” Nix said. “It’s one of the pinnacle places for college hoops in our country. It was cool because I saw one of my former teammates in Jairius Hamilton (I played with him in summer league) and his brother Jared play. They both play for BC and I got a chance to speak with Jairius before the game.
