Pelicans guard Trey Murphy III is coming off a career year, but he hasn't forgotten where he's from. Murphy was in Durham this weekend for his Back to School Bash. Says he's fully healthy after his shoulder injury and it only goes up from here. #Pelicans #neworleans #NBA

"Who knows if they'll want me in 5 years, I'm taking it one year at a time." Dave Doeren isn't thinking about the future, but is really excited about the season. He called this team more coachable, humbled and wanting to prove themselves. #WPN #NCState @PackFootball

I think Alex Garland (Civil War, 28 Years later) should direct a Tony Gilroy (Andor, Michael Clayton) written Star Wars. I think Garland’s visual flair and style would mix well with Gilroy’s plot, dialogue and wit. Like Social Network with Sorkin and Fincher

Have not seen this reported elsewhere, but new UNC men's basketball general manager Jim Tanner has already gotten a raise. wral.com/sports/unc-men…

UNC men's basketball GM Jim Tanner will be paid $950,000 for the year that started July 1. Salary goes up $100K if UNC makes NCAA Tourney OR signs at least one four- or five-star. Other performance bonuses included, too.

What's it like to cover Bill Belichick??? Completely exhausting. The media scrums were massive, but that's what UNC wanted. They've raised their football profile. They won #ACCkickoff now come the games. #unc @WRAL

Glorilla music video, Kentucky Derby, the Canes...it's been an eventful off season for Xavier Legette. Here's part of our convo today at training camp. He's happy, healthy and ready for a breakout year. #Panthers #KeepPounding @wral

Just confirmed Nyheim Hines has agreed to terms on a one year deal with the #Chargers. He got a call from them Sunday evening. Worked out today.

Cant fit the whole video, so please click for the full story. @chambershoops hit rock bottom after his father's ALS diagnosis when he was in high school. Hes been trying to honor his legacy ever since & will with Team Challenge ALS at @thetournament @WRAL wralsportsfan.com/nc-state-assis…

This is so good I had to question if it was AI. Scottie reaching a higher plane. Tiger blew up his life, Jordan played baseball, and Tom Brady started believing his own myth. The top is a lonely view.

Was featured on WRAL Sports Fan and @WRAL about BOXTOROW and hosting on ESPN Radio. Take a look wralsportsfan.com/talking-sports… Want to thank Patrick Welter for having me.

If you're an elite football player from the Raleigh area good chance you've worked with @TrevorGrahamJR. Now the former @PackFootball and NFL WR isn't just training he's coaching at St. David's in Raleigh. Full story on @WRALSportsFan wralsportsfan.com/from-wolfpack-…

I could compare him to Leonardo DiCaprio in Wolf of Wall Street or I could compare him to Jimmy V. Will Wade has the kind of charisma the Wolfpack fan base has craved. First press conference since his intro was pure cinema. #wpn @PackMensBball

"He's a really powerful skate who can close out really effectively." It was a long wait, but @Canes GM Eric Tulsky explained why K'andre Miller was a fit for Carolina once the deal became official, and more #Canes notes from the first day of free agency. #raiseup

UNC picks RFK Racing President Steve Newmark as its next athletics director. He will succeed long-time AD Bubba Cunningham next summer. wralsportsfan.com/unc-picks-athl… @murphsturph @PatrickWelter #UNC
