“That campus is a winning campus,” Elder said. “I don’t care if it’s football, basketball, lacrosse, soccer. I’m getting into sports I never even knew existed. Everybody there is just driven to do something, whether it’s to get a medical degree, or win national championships in any sport. It’s a different atmosphere. It’s really something special.”

One of the best articles I've read in a while. How can you not root for this kid?

A very well spoken young man.

Some time back, I read an article on him (and think I may have linked it here somewhere) in which he noted that until his injury, he did not have UNC high on his list. But then when some schools (I assume SEC Big Timers) cooled on him while he recovered, he gave UNC a thorough investigation. He stressed that UNC never flinched from his cancer.

Now if Luke Elder could bring us a couple of first rate DTs with the same character and good sense he has, we'll be set.
