April 19, 2024 07:00 - 36 minutes - 33 MBThe North Carolina Tar Heels have had confirmed conversations with Stanford transfer Andrej Stojakovic (per Inside Carolina), the son of Peja. The question: Is Stojakovic a primary target for UNC or more of a back-up plan in case Carolina can’t land Cade Tyson (who is on a visit to Chapel Hill this weekend)? Harrison Ingram’s production and numbers certainly went up after transferring from the Cardinal. Big man portal target Jonas Aidoo (Tennessee transfer) is visiting Baylor this weekend a...

April 17, 2024 07:00 - 31 minutes - 29.3 MBOne of North Carolina’s big man targets, Arizona’s Oumar Ballo, committed to Indiana on Tuesday. Despite the shrinking pool of candidates, UNC still has solid options for a paint player out of the portal: Jonas Aidoo (Tennesseee), Cliff Omoruyi (Rutgers), and Danny Wolf (Yale). There could be others, but those are the three we currently. Where should Hubert Davis focus his attention? The Tar Heels are courting Belmont transfer Cade Tyson and things appear to be in good shape, however, there...

No decision yet from Harrison Ingram? | Ingram insurance: Kentucky's Adou Thiero
April 15, 2024 07:00 - 31 minutes - 28.6 MBIt’s been about two-and-a-half weeks since North Carolina lost to Alabama in the Sweet 16 to end the 2023-24 season for the Tar Heels. Since then, we’ve heard nothing in the way of a public announcement of any kind from Harrison Ingram – and the Carolina fan base is getting pretty antsy. No news on coming back to school or entering the draft or anything else. Why might that be? IF Harrison Ingram does decide to leave, the Tar Heels need to have already put some “insurance plans” in place. ...

Will any more Tar Heels transfer out? | What roster holes does UNC need to fill?
April 11, 2024 07:00 - 31 minutes - 29.1 MBLast Friday, James Okonkwo announced plans to enter the transfer portal. On Tuesday, the day after the National Championship, Seth Trimble did the same. As things stand currently, those are the only two Tar Heel defections of any kind (transfer or NBA Draft). Will Coach Hubert Davis see any other players transfer out this offseason? We wait to find out. What holes are still in the roster? The biggest is the one vacated by Armando Bacot at the center position. UNC needs another big to fill o...

April 10, 2024 07:00 - 32 minutes - 29.8 MBNorth Carolina’s rising junior guard Seth Trimble announced on Tuesday, April 9 that he is entering the transfer portal. This is sad news for the Tar Heels, but unfortunately not unexpected in this day and age of college athletics. Trimble is the second Tar Heel to go portaling, joining James Okonkwo. Armando Bacot, Cormac Ryan, and Paxson Wojcik were all out of eligibility. Is Trimble’s decision an indication of the plans of other backcourt players such as RJ Davis or Elliot Cadeau? Ho...
UNC's Deja Kelly in transfer portal...What's it mean for RJ Davis? | Cal to Arkansas...affect on Heels? | Arizona's Oumar Ballo in transfer portal - Bacot replacement?
April 09, 2024 07:00 - 35 minutes - 32.8 MBThe entirety of UNC is in wait and watch mode for news about ACC Player of the Year RJ Davis. Will he come back to Carolina to utilize his COVID eligibility? One of the factors we’ve been watching is the status of Deja Kelly, Davis’ girlfriend and part of the UNC women’s basketball team. Kelly entered the transfer portal on Monday so the question becomes – what, if any, affect will that decision have on Davis’ future plans? In a similar vein, with John Calipari leaving Kentucky for Arkansas...
How will North Carolina replace Armando Bacot? | James Okonkwo in transfer portal | More RJ Davis hardware
April 08, 2024 07:00 - 32 minutes - 29.5 MBNorth Carolina will have to turn over a new leaf next year when a name other than Armando Bacot will announced as the starting center. Does Hubert Davis believe that player is already on the roster in the form of Jalen Washington? Or will the coaching staff scour the transfer portal for some to challenge Washington for the starting job? There are possibilities in the Bacot mold, such as FAU transfer Vlad Goldin or Utah St. transfer Great Osobor. There are also possibilities in more of the sh...
Harrison Ingram's big decision | Are RJ Davis' recent NIL deals a sign? | Cade Tyson's UNC fit?
April 05, 2024 07:00 - 32 minutes - 30 MBHarrison Ingram, after having his best statistical college season while playing for UNC, has a massive decision to make this offseason – Will he strike while the iron is hot and leave for the NBA or will he return to Chapel Hill for the chance at an even better season (individually and collectively)? Another player that could factor into the process (and make UNC even better with a return) is RJ Davis. Davis has appeared in multiple NIL opportunities in recent days; does this signal anythin...
Revisiting UNC Preseason Bold Predictions: RJ Davis, ACC Player of the Year | Armando Bacot: 3rd straight season averaging double-double
April 04, 2024 07:00 - 32 minutes - 29.8 MBThe end of North Carolina’s basketball season comes with an opportunity to revisit preseason bold predictions. Some go well, others…not so much. Coach Bill Robinson correctly predicted that RJ Davis would be the ACC Player of the Year. Isaac Schade got it wrong that Harrison Ingram would record the third-ever Tar Heel triple-double. Would Armando Bacot average double-double for the third straight season? Would North Carolina have five players average double figures in scoring – Davis, Bacot,...
Will RJ Davis return to UNC? | Ian Jackson, Drake Powell in the McDonald's All-American Game
April 03, 2024 07:00 - 27 minutes - 25 MBThe biggest offseason storyline for the North Carolina Tar Heels men’s basketball team will be RJ Davis’ decision to return (or not) for his fifth year of college, allowed because of COVID. UNC is guaranteed to lose Armando Bacot, Davis’ partner-in-crime. If Davis leaves as well, the Tar Heels will have lost their two lynchpins from this year’s roster. Davis’ timeline to make his decision will also play a role in UNC’s ability to fill out areas of need on their roster. Incoming freshmen ...

April 01, 2024 07:00 - 30 minutes - 28.4 MBThe North Carolina Tar Heels fell to the Alabama Crimson Tide in the Sweet 16 of the 2024 NCAA Tournament. While it’s the poor-shooting-second-half that most will remember, it’s also important to keep in mind the ridiculous first-half scoring that Carolina had, chiefly compliments of Armando Bacot, Cormac Ryan, and Harrison Ingram.

March 29, 2024 07:00 - 31 minutes - 29.1 MBThe North Carolina Tar Heels 2023-24 season came to a screeching half on Thursday night as Hubert Davis’ squad fell 89-87 to Nate Oats and Alabama. It was a defeat that feels crushing because this team loved each other and played for each other so well. Armando Bacot and Cormac Ryan and Paxson Wojcik’s careers aren’t supposed to end that way. Unfortunately one of RJ Davis’ worst shooting nights of the season (And his only game without a three) came at a rather undesirable time. The meeting w...

March 28, 2024 07:00 - 32 minutes - 29.6 MBNorth Carolina had a successful first weekend of the 2024 NCAA Tournament, defeating both Wagner and Michigan State.

March 27, 2024 07:00 - 34 minutes - 31.7 MBNorth Carolina’s offense and defense and Alabama’s offense are all rated top-16 at KenPom in adjust efficiency. The outlier? The Crimson Tide defense which ranks outside the top 100. In fact, only seven teams in the nation surrender more points per game than Nate Oats’ team. How will RJ Davis, Armando Bacot and company be able to exploit that matchup? On the flip side, Alabama’s offense is electric, headlined by Mark Sears. UNC’s top-tier defense will need to be on their game. Rebounds and...

SLOW STARTS for UNC - troubling or blip? | Chalky Sweet 16 = GREAT basketball | Respect the ACC
March 26, 2024 07:00 - 32 minutes - 30 MBNorth Carolina has been struggling with some sluggish starts in the 2023-24 postseason (3 ACC Tournament games, 2 NCAA Tournament games). For example, Carolina was down 12 to Michigan State 11:15 into the game or down 10 to NC State just 4:27 into the game. Is it cause for concern or more just a statistical outlier on a small sample size of games? Regardless of the answer, Carolina need to come out SWINGING against Alabama. They need to be tough, they need to get paint touches for Armando Ba...

The Tar Heels have done this – TOGETHER. Ingram provided the 3rd scoring punch, while Cadeau didn’t have a great scoring ...
