Heels pass on Turkish basketball player

Posted Aug 23, 2005

The North Carolina men's basketball team is not interested in adding European forward Cem Dinc this year, prep coach Jason Smith said Monday. "I spoke with Cem over the weekend, and [UNC] told him that if he wanted to attend UNC, it was in his best interest to go to prep school for a year," said Smith, who coaches at Brewster (N.H.) Academy, where Dinc planned to attend before garnering recent interest from the Tar Heels and Indiana. (Raleigh News & Observer)
