Tar Heels Reimagined: New Faces, Bold Moves | Tar Heel Basketball News

The Tar Heels are reloaded for the new season with five returning NCAA tournament players and eleven fresh faces — including four freshmen, six transfers, and one international standout from Greece. Among the newcomers: seasoned vets from Buffalo, South Dakota, Utah, NC State, and Virginia Tech, plus a pro player from Greece. This squad also marks Carolina’s first-ever Greek duo and only the second African-born player in program history. Jersey numbers get a twist too — one player swaps to 2, another dons historic 99, and a freshman wears 30, continuing his family’s legacy on the court. They open preseason against USC — a bold new chapter for UNC basketball. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
