The North Carolina Tar Heels were a somewhat surprising entrant into the 2025 NCAA Tournament bracket. However, an experienced North Carolina basketball roster helped deliver UNC a dominant First Four win over San Diego State before a first-round loss to Ole Miss ended the season. However, the expectations are higher than just being included in March Madness and Hubert Davis knows patience will wear thin if North Carolina basketball isn’t in title-contention. The college basketball transfer portal opened on March 24 and the Tar Heels are expected to be major players in the coming weeks before it closes on April 22.
RJ Davis is out of eligibility and will leave the program as the second-leading scorer in UNC basketball history behind Tyler Hansbrough. How will the Tar Heels replace Davis’ production and who are the top North Carolina basketball recruiting targets now that the portal is open?
