The UNC basketball program is preparing for its 2023-2024 season, looking to bounce back from last year’s nightmare.
It has been quite an adventure for the Tar Heels since they last walked off the court, with significant movement coming from the transfer portal. Caleb Love will not be in Carolina Blue this year, and it is not because he enlisted for the NBA draft. Instead, he will be in Arizona as a member of the Wildcats.
Love is not the only main Heel left in the offseason for new threads. Puff Johnson, D’Marco Dunn, Justin McKoy, Will Shaver, Dontrez Styles, and Tyler Nickel transferred from UNC.
What became a depleted roster created new opportunities to build, and that is precisely what UNC did, using RJ Davis and Armando Bacot as their corner pieces. One of those new pieces is four-star freshman Zayden High.
With the season near, we move on to the following player preview with Zayden High up next.
