North Carolina At Chapel Hill

North Carolina basketball has quite a bit of movement happening in recruiting. Zayden High is coming off his official visit to UNC this past weekend. On Monday, he released his top five, which consists of Arkansas, Michigan, North Carolina, Texas, and Villanova. By all accounts, he had a great visit.

Class of 2024 recruit Trentyn Flowers is on an unofficial visit to Chapel Hill today. Late last week, class of 2024 center James Brown released his top 10, which includes North Carolina. Brown will be on an official visit on October 15. Additionally, top class of 2024 shooting guard Ian Jackson has an official visit scheduled to UNC for October 28.

While the attention for North Carolina basketball next season may fall on First-Team All-ACC performer and double-double machine Armando Bacot or Caleb Love and his clutch shooting in late-game moments, it is R.J. Davis who might ultimately prove to be the most important player on UNC’s roster.

Here is Inside Carolina’s Player Preview Series video on R.J. Davis.

Get an inside look at a training day with pro trainer Jason Cole. UNC’s Hubert Davis was in the building to watch the state’s top player, Ian Jackson train among others.

Due to the effects of the hurricane, North Carolina is postponing “Live Action With Carolina Basketball” until next Friday, October 7. Everything else about the event will stay the same. Hubert Davis and his returning core of Armando Bacot, Caleb Love, RJ Davis, and Leaky Black will anxiously await taking to the court to show why they’re deserving of being labeled as one of the top teams in the country. The same is true for Coach Courtney Banghart’s women’s team, who has their own lofty expectations. Recruiting target Zayden High will still be in town this weekend for his official visit while Boogie Fland is delaying his trip.

Practice started in college hoops this week and @Aaron Torres has Part I of the biggest storylines entering the season. Including, can UNC finish the job after last season, what will Jon Scheyer’s first season be like? Can John Calipari bring No. 9 to Lexington and can Mark Few bring title No. 1 to Gonzaga?

This weekend, class of 2023 North Carolina basketball target Zayden High will take his official visit to Chapel Hill during “Live Action with Carolina Basketball” on Friday evening and the Virginia Tech football game on Saturday afternoon. High is UNC’s primary target in the class and the Tar Heels will go all out for the 6’9 player from Texas, who is spending his senior year playing for Compass Prep in Arizona.

Undoubtedly, Armando Bacot and the rest of the team will roll out the red carpet to show High what life in Chapel Hill and on campus is all about. The High family will spend time with Coach Davis, who Jason Jordan says has an infectious personality and is a great recruiter.

Throughout the summer on Locked On Tar Heels, we went week-by-week previewing each of the scholarship players of the 2022-23 North Carolina men’s basketball team and the beloved Biscuit Boys. Coach Pac Kilby joined host Isaac Schade to talk about the transfer (Pete Nance), the freshmen (Seth Trimble, Jalen Washington, Tyler Nickel, and Will Shaver), the sophomores (Dontrez Styles, D’Marco Dunn), the juniors (RJ Davis, Caleb Love, Puff Johnson), the seniors (Armando Bacot, Justin McKoy), and the super seniors (Leaky Black, Pete Nance).

After nearly beating North Carolina twice in the regular season, Duke scored an upset over the No. 1 Tar Heels in the semifinals of the ACC Tournament. Johnny Dawkins and Tommy Amaker led the Blue Devils to a 40-32 halftime advantage. But, UNC went on a 12-2 run to open the second half, tying the score at 44-44 in a game that was close the rest of the way. David Henderson hit four late free throws to keep Duke in the lead, but Micheal Jordan closed the gap to 77-75. Carolina regained possession with three seconds left in the game, but the Tar Heels comeback bid ended with Matt Doherty’s errant inbounds pass. Jordan led all scorers with 22 points, while Doherty scored 20 and grabbed 10 rebounds.

North Carolina held their first official basketball practice of the 2022-23 season on Monday, September 26. Hopes are high as the Tar Heels return starters RJ Davis, Caleb Love, Leaky Black, and Armando Bacot from a team that just narrowly lost to Kansas in the National Championship.

How will the team respond to having a massive target on their back? We’ll find out soon enough.

Pete Nance is the lone newcomer to the starting rotation, having transferred in from Northwestern. The son of former NBA player Larry Nance and brother of current NBA player Larry Nance, Jr., Pete brings a wealth of experience, talent, and knowledge with him to Chapel Hill.
