This seems like an unusually large number of freshmen and newcomers. Any comments, John?

Could be quite possibly that a number of the freshman could not actually make the final traveling roster in the spring… I have noticed quite a few times over last several years where kids don’t make that roster that I heard committed to UNC then shows back up the next fall during fall ball…. I’m sure that they end up getting red-shirted that year

At 6-foot-5 and 210 pounds, Percival will look to bolster the Tar Heels on the mound his first season.
