NATIONAL-The Raleigh News and Observer follows up today on the impact of a Raleigh basketball player’s refusal to honor her letter of intent to attend Western Carolina University.

Evans changed her mind about Western after the coach who recruited her left. The university at first refused to release her from her letter of intent, and Evans’s family initiated legal action.

The N&O’s lead:
