Over the weekend, UNC transfer target Matthew Mayer (Baylor) withdrew from the 2022 NBA Draft to return to play in college. Could he join RJ Davis, Caleb Love, Leaky Black, & Armando Bacot to help fill out North Carolina’s starting lineup in the void left by departing Brady Manek? He projects as the type of player and young man that Hubert Davis would want on his roster and that the rest of the Tar Heels would want to play alongside.
Pete Nance (Northwestern) is another name that has emerged lately in conversations about UNC transfer targets. Nance is a 6’10” four-year player currently still in the 2022 NBA Draft; however he has also maintained his college eligibility including entering the transfer portal. If he decides to return to college. Nance would be another seemingly strong fit in the Carolina system.
The UNC women’s lacrosse and tennis teams each competed in their respective NCAA Tournaments over the weekend. The tennis team advanced to the Final Four but lost to eventual national champion Texas. The lacrosse team defeated Stony Brook in the national semifinals and will play Northwestern on Friday in the Final Four.

I’d like to see Puff make the starting five. He played so well in the final.
Both Mayer and Manek were measured at the NBA combine. They both came in at exactly the same height 6.9 and 1/4.
I'd really be fine with getting either Mayer or Nance. However, my vote is still to get a legit back up for Bacot. If you think about it, we really got lucky with his health until the very end. One would think we could replace Manek's production by committee if Davis, Love, Johnson, and the bench/freshmen continue to develop. However, we saw what happens with a less than 100% Bacot. Perhaps last year was simply the odds coming back to bite us at the end and things would have played out the same even with another post player. Still, I don't like the idea of banking your entire season on the health of one player. For as good as all those other guys were, Bacot was still the anchor of the team.
