Thank you, RJ

[NathanFielder]

I don't think any player got more out of his ability during his UNC career in my lifetime (either RJ or Tyler Hansbrough). A terrific, productive career. Thanks for giving everything you had. Players like you may never come around this program ever again. Salute and best of luck to your basketball future.

Amen!!!! RJ will always be one of my favorite Heel warriors.

I absolutely hate we didn't give any frontcourt help his final season.

He played so hard for us.

I agree. He individually deserved a team that could compete for a championship of some kind.

Great list. That IS the list IMO in the approximate 35-40 years I’ve been a fan.

Maybe on the B list would be Danny Green. I’m thinking of guys who stayed a long time and got the most out of their physical abilities

He did get the most out of his physical gifts. Nothing he can do about it - but think of how much even more he could’ve done if he weren’t at a height disadvantage driving the lane, defending, rebounding. Say - what 4-5 inches taller would do for him

Great player, hate this was his last year. Just terrible frontcourt construction.

Thank you RJ. Wished you had a few more ounces go our way and see you keep playing. Best in all endeavors. Go Tar Heels!

Hands down my favorite Heel at 6ft & under and in my top ten overall. Yea I’ve been a fan since Ford’s Freshman year so…

Tough little nut!

Thanks for the memories RJ, and best of luck to you in your future endeavors.
