North Carolina At Chapel Hill

Let’s face it, the North Carolina Tar Heels family is done talking about GG Jackson, but it’s healthy and helpful to understand what this situation teaches us about the new landscape of college basketball. What is the North Carolina angle in this scenario? What about GG Jackson – will he still be a top player in the class of 2022, even after his reclassification? Why does it make sense to reclassify into a likely tougher draft class? How does NIL play into everything?

THI was on hand following UNC’s fifth practice of fall camp Wednesday and spoke with defensive coordinator Gene Chizik about his unit, certain position groups, players, the staff, his style, and more.

It’s the tenth week of the 2022-23 North Carolina Tar Heels men’s basketball roster summer preview series. We have gone through the freshmen (Seth Trimble, Jalen Washington, Tyler Nickel, Will Shaver), the transfer (Pete Nance), the sophomores (D’Marco Dunn, Dontrez Styles), and now we finish the juniors, having already talked about Puff Johnson & RJ Davis. Today we set our sights on Caleb Love, a 6’4″, 200-pound guard from St. Louis, Missouri.

In his sophomore campaign, Love added at least five percentage points each to his field goal percentage, his three-point field goal percentage, and his free throw percentage. The sky is the limit in Love’s junior season as he and Davis combine to lead the Tar Heel backcourt.

The Roy Williams-era Tar Heels rebounded at or the near top of the NCAA on an annual basis. Heading into Hubert Davis’ first year at the helm for UNC, many wondered how his more modern lineup would fare in the rebounding department. Would trading two traditional bigs for one traditional center and a stretch-four yield the same results. After losing Day’Ron Sharpe to the NBA and Walker Kessler (Auburn) and Garrison Brooks (Mississippi State) to transfer, would Armando Bacot, as the lone holdover be able to replicate the success Carolina has long-enjoyed on the glass?

The Tar Heels fell short against the Wildcats in Lexington, losing 84-70 on December 13, 2014.

UNC Basketball’s Marcus Paige left Monday’s game against Appalachian State with an ankle injury. He aggravated his ankle trying to save a ball from going out-of-bounds in the 1st half, but did return later in the half. He left the game for good in the second half and went straight to the locker room.
