Roy Williams' comments on Little during his radio show:
“We had a youngster that came by today that’s going to start practicing with us on Thursday and he’s going to try it a while and see how it looks. And if it looks like it will be good for him and not hurt anything on the football field, he’ll be playing with us this year and that’s Greg Little. John Bunting, when he started recruiting Greg, Greg had asked him about it and John talked to me and I said fine. So Greg and I met this morning and he came and watched practice today and he’s going to start practicing with us on Thursday. Like I said, we’ll go three or four weeks and see how it looks and see if it’s good for him to continue or not.
“Coach [Butch] Davis came by last week and visited with me because there’s a high school player in the state that we are recruiting and he wanted to see about the youngster having the option of playing basketball, so I’m going to go by or have somebody from my staff go by and see the youngster. We’re going to do anything we can to make it easier for our football team to be successful...
“I’ve gotten to know Greg quite a bit. Again, when Coach Bunting was recruiting him, he brought him by the office and we visited a little bit. I saw him on the road three or four times when I was out recruiting. I told him one night, I said, ‘Greg, you have got to leave. I can’t sit here and talk to you. This is a violation kind of thing.’ And he came to several games. I saw him at a girl’s game one night and he came over and sat down and visited with me. I was really convinced that when Coach Davis and his staff came in, [that] if they really wanted Greg and showed him that, I really felt like Greg would come to the University of North Carolina because I thought this is where he wanted to be.”
