UNC Basketball has 7 transfers out: Necessary culture change or too much turnover?

North Carolina has lost seven different players to the transfer portal, including Caleb Love, Puff Johnson, D’Marco Dunn, Dontrez Styles, Tyler Nickel, Justin McKoy, and Will Shaver. The question becomes: Who’s the most surprising of that group to leave Chapel Hill? On the other side of the coin, which of the incoming transfers will have the biggest impact: Paxson Wojcik, Harrison Ingram, Cormac Ryan, or Jae’lyn Withers? Is this overhaul a good “culture reset” for Carolina or is it too much turnover?

UNC had massive expectations heading into Sam Howell’s final season, both for he as an individual and for team success, but neither were meant to be. The question now is: Has Mack Brown done enough this offseason to make Drake Maye’s (presumptive) final season in Chapel Hill different than Howell’s?

The Nintenerd says:

The program definitely needed a change. We've had a very similar group with a lot of the same guys for 4 years now, and, with the exception of last season's championship run, they have had little success. I'm also still in the camp that believes there were some real team chemistry issues this season that needed to be addressed. I do wish we could get more developmental pieces from the portal so we don't have so many graduates coming in for a year and leaving, but overall, I think it is a net positive.

Ron Lytle says:

I think it was a needed change. Hubert needed to get in, guys, that fits the style that he wants to play. We were in need of shooters to space the floor. We needed better shooting and to get more athletic in order to compete.

James Pruett says:

Just wondering with almost a whole new team can they meld together,great show today

ted Maynard says:

There was a hint on another podcast a few weeks ago that the reason that Carolina faded at the end of the football season was that the coaches that went to Wisconsin did not do the Due Dilligence thing preparation – wise, as they knew that they were leaving. The Georgia Tech game in particular was strangely flat, suggesting that something was wrong. Then there was the thing of "Our running game is not working so we are going to abandon it." One has to wonder if that had something to do with Longo leaving, as basically it was saying that his stuff was not working. Hopefully the new coaching staff has more chemistry, and that the running and passing games complement each other, and the offensive line problems can be fixed and hugely important is that the defense is effective as winning teams must play defense.

Powerswish says:

Upcoming show about the Caleb Love transfer (again) situation?

ray dotson says:

Not playing in nit cost them I think n hiring a black coach was the biggest mistake they ever made the lucky final four they went to puff leaving was puff

Roger Beck says:

I have a feeling that its becoming the normal now. Kids just dont want to commit or wait their turn. As most of UNC transfers hasnt got the playing or performed any better at their new school.

Adereio Jones says:

7 players leaving your program is never a good thing so I’ll say too much! Hopefully moving forward we recruit and develop the players at a better rate!

Terrence L Spain says:

Hubert told puff he recruiting over his position.

Terrence L Spain says:

Kansas had 8 players transfer , it’s the nature of college b-ball now. UNC4L!
