Stilman White showing patience in UNC return

CHAPEL HILL, NC (WWAY) — Nobody said the transition would be easy for Stilman White. The Hoggard High School graduate played his freshman season for Roy Williams up in Chapel Hill. White left before his sophomore season for nearly in order to fulfill the commitment for his morman mission. The guard was gone for nearly two years, but he’s back at UNC. Technically, he’s a sophomore now. UNC currently sports a 7-1 record after defeating East Carolina over the weekend. The former Hoggard guard has played in four games this season, but he hasn’t scored yet while playing point guard and the wing position too. “In practice I’ve been playing a lot more on the wing,” White told us. “We have a lot of point guards on the roster and one of the things I’ve been working at to get better is my shooting.”
