Hey Kennedy.....

[Tru Blu Tar Heel]

1 Tyler Hansbourgh 1,219
2 Sam Perkins 1,167
3 George Lynch 1,097
4 Billy Cunningham 1,062
5 Brice Johnson 1,061
6 Antawn Jamison 1,027

Kennedy Meeks will be missed. He is aTAR HEEL

 

[imajericho]

It was a ****ing big 1000th rebound too as it put us up 3 on that putback.

 

[tarh33ls]

Great job Kennedy! Great transformation over the years. 1000 and counting for his career. To put it into some context, Bolden had 26 this entire season!

 

[Ozheelfan]

4 more games and he'll likely pass Antawn for # 6 all time.... that's rare air, esp when you think he shared the paint with Brice for 3yrs!

 

[Archer2]

Can't say how proud I am of Kennedy for all the hard work he's put in. He's been our rock in the middle all year. Congrats on joining the 1,000 rebound club. He's a Tar Heel through and through.

4 more games and he'll likely pass Antawn for # 6 all time.... that's rare air, esp when you think he shared the paint with Brice for 3yrs!

What if he could have factored his sick time and injury time over his sophomore and junior year. He is a polished player this year, and a true leader.

 

[Go Heels #1]

Thank you Kennedy. You are a great Heel. I also bet he is one of guys who continues to return to home games.

 

[Hark_The_Sound_2010]

Huge 1000th rebound for sure. Let's hope he passes Jamison, as that would mean the Heels are playing a few more games.

 

[RP12]

A guy who's battled inconsistency for various reasons his entire career and quietly was our most consistent player this season.

 

[TarHeelMark]

Player of the game last night: put up 16 and 11, with 3 blocks and a steal. And of course the play of the game tip-in!

 

[JuleZ '02 HEEL]

Kennedy played a man's game. Keep it up big guy!

 

[DeanFor President]

Congrats to Big Kennedy. He persevered and kept improving. His senior season has been the payoff for all the hard work. He's now 35 all time in scoring, 9th in rebounding, 11th in blocks. Pretty damn good for a kid who continually got rations of crap from a lot of Heels fans for 3 years.

Impressive numbers for sure last night against a very good Arkansas big in Moses Kingsley....Kennedy held his own and then some against the pre season SEC player of the year......proud of that young man!
