UNC fans will get to see James Brown at Chapel Hill for another season. He will return for his sophomore year, after not entering the transfer portal before it closed at midnight on Wednesday.
The 6-foot-10 center did not feature much for the Tar Heels last season, playing in just 18 games and averaging 2.9 minutes. He recorded a total of 21 points and 15 rebounds.
Brown was not expected to leave the team per the end-of-season meeting between the players and UNC coach Hubert Davis.
He stuck to his words, and fans are calling on the coach to increase his minutes next season under Tar Heel Reports’ page on Instagram.
Brown was a four-star recruit from Link Academy in Branson, Missouri, and still has three years of eligibility left.
He is expected to have a bigger role in his sophomore season, which will set the tone for his junior and senior years.
