North Carolina basketball is coming off a year in which it failed to see the second round of the NCAA Tournament, marking the second time in three years that’s occurred.
That’s far below the standard for the UNC Tar Heels, who have the most March Madness wins and Final Four appearances all-time. A basketball program like UNC will never struggle in landing top recruits and boasted a top-10 freshman class last year.
However, there is still ground to make up when it comes to the college basketball transfer portal, as the Tar Heels ranked just 50th in that regard last season, per 247Sports.
You need to have success in both areas in this NIL era of college basketball, and Hubert Davis also has to replace a stalwart in Chapel Hill. RJ Davis, the third all-time leading scorer in ACC history, is off to the pros, and it will take more than a singular player to fill his shoes in the North Carolina basketball roster.
