Topic: 49ers: From Last Chance U to Charlotte Barkely wants turn around

[Big City]

In two seasons at Independence (Kan.) Community College, Barkley, a defensive lineman from Kannapolis, was part of a rebuilding effort that produced consecutive winning seasons in 2016 (5-4) and ’17 (9-2) for a program that hadn’t had even one in decades.

Now, Barkely aims to do the same with the Charlotte 49ers, who went 1-11 in 2017 and have yet to post a .500-or-better record since the program’s 2013 inception.
