CHAPEL HILL — Caleb Love made the pitch, Henri Veesaar made the move.

"It had a lot of influence. I'm very close with Caleb. From last year, I kind of asked him what he thought about this program, how his relationships were with the coaches and how he saw me fitting into this program," Veesaar said Sept. 10 inside the Smith Center media room.
