Why?

Day’Ron Sharpe had this to say about his decision to enter the NBA Draft!

First I would like to give thanks to god for allowing me to be here today.

This has been a journey. I would also like to give special thanks to all those who pushed me to be a better man and player.

Thank you to my parents for being my biggest supporters. It hasn’t been easy to maintain good grades, practice and train every day in a time such as this, but with the help of you all and god I was able to do it.

I always said that I wanted to go to UNC, I received plenty of offers, but chose to wait for UNC to offer me - believe me, I don’t regret that decision. In the past year I’ve met that I never thought would make such an impact on my life. My teammates and I have worked together , loved together , laughed, played and cried together. I love the bond we’ve created . I also really want to thank the coaching staff for believing that I would make a great addition to the team .

I feel I am now ready for the next level . I’ve made it this far and there’s no reason to stop now ! I may be saying this for the rest of my life but I’ll say it again: Thank you mom and dad , thank you family, thank you coaches, trainers , teachers and fans. This is only the beginning of a dream I have worked so hard to accomplish. With that being said, I will be declaring for the NBA Draft with high hopes of support of my Carolina Family.
