Four Corners: Photo Day
September 8, 2017 | Men's Basketball
CHAPEL HILL—The North Carolina basketball team began its preseason conditioning program this week while also continuing its work in the weight room with strength and conditioning coordinator Jonas Sahratian. The annual Carolina Mile is scheduled for Sept. 25, completing what's annually one of the most rigorous months for Tar Heel players. That is sometimes especially true for freshmen unaccustomed to the demands of the college game.
The Tar Heels also held their photo day this week on Wednesday, spending part of the afternoon taking photos, recording video in front of a green screen and shooting behind-the-scenes features to be highlighted online and in social media throughout the fall and 2017-18 season. Stay tuned to GoHeels.com and Carolina's Twitter and Instagram accounts for exclusive content coming soon. Here's a taste:
