UNC Welcomes Home Point Guard from 2 Year Mission

Stilman White is returning to University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill after missing the last two basketball seasons. The Tar Heels point guard has spent the last two years serving a Mormon mission in Utah for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, but is returning as a sophomore for the 2014-15 season.

As a freshman for UNC, White played 34 games and became a starter after his teammate was injured in the NCAA tournament. Head coach, Roy Williams, was impressed with White’s performance as a starter in two of the NCAA tournament games, but says that White still has some work to do.

“He has not played much basketball the last two years and is coming off an ankle injury, so he has some work to do to catch up. But he will give us additional experience and depth in the backcourt.”
