Sophomore guard Rodney Hyatt is being counted on to provide back court depth this season
!Hvatt a-.-walk-on 10 more
By KEITH PARSONS
Staff Writer
Last year at this time, Rodney
Hyatt was just another freshman at
UNC, who happened to have
thoughts of playing basketball for
Dean Smith. This year, however,
Hyatt is on scholarship and may
possibly play a big role for this
season's team.
"Everything sure feels better this
year," said Hyatt, a 5-foot-7 sopho
more from Wadesboro. "I'm more
confident and I think I can help the
team more this year."
Hyatt, like most freshmen, was a
bit overwhelmed last year by every
thing here, at UNC, such as classes
and newfound independence. But
with help from his family, he was able
to balance his time and began to
perform much better in class.
I came in this year better prepared,
and I have already seen the results,"
Hyatt said. "I came into this year
knowing what to expect, so I'm
looking forward to being more
competitive. I think I have the
opportunity to make this much more
like high school, where I had a
difficult time at first, but later I was
able to compete better."
As a senior at Anson Senior High,
Hyatt made the all-conference team
his junior and senior years. But no
colleges offered him a scholarship, so
he knew he would be forced to go
. to a school and make it as a walk-
on. tie tnen aeciaea 10 aiiena unu j

to watch a few games, and they told
me I could come here and walk on,"
Hyatt said. I was really impressed
with the school, not just the basket
ball team, but the entire school. I
figured if the basketball thing didn't
work out, then at least I could get
a first-class education."
Hyatt started last season with the
varsity, but then moved down to the
junior varsity to gain more expe
rience.. He was quickly moved back
up, and stayed there for the rest of
the year.
"The coaches let me be myself and
told me I had a good chance of
playing here," Hyatt said. "(Trying
out) was just something I had to go
through."
Hyatt played in 15 games for the
Tar Heels last year, averaging 1.3
points a game. He shot 60 percent
from the field, and 87 percent from
the free-throw line.
Smith said he is looking for Hyatt
to give UNC's thin backcourt corps
a lift.
"Rodney should be much better
this year and I look for him to
compete for more playing time,"
Smith said. "He is not overly quick,
but he might be able to help us on
defense."
Hyatt said he would be up to the
task.
"I'm not a walk-on anymore. I need
to contribute now more than ever."
