Hearing about Joe Wolf's passing hits hard. As a Tar Heel, Joe was a versatile and relentless forward who gave everything on the court, embodying the spirit of Carolina basketball. He was a key part of those Dean Smith teams that taught us what it meant to play with heart and hustle. Every time we lose a player from that era, I can’t help but feel like a part of my youth fades with it. I miss Dean even more in moments like this.
Rest in peace, Joe Wolf—you’ll always be a part of the Carolina family.
