North Carolina and Duke have their first of (at least) two matchups this Saturday. Isaac Schade takes you behind enemy lines for a crossover episode with JJ Jackson of Locked On Blue Devils. Duke has been hit with injuries – including to their primary guards Jeremy Roach and Tyrese Proctor. The Blue Devils essentially have six starters, so who will start on the bench? UNC has four returning scholarship players (Armando Bacot, RJ Davis, Seth Trimble, Jalen Washington) and a gaggle of newcomers (Harrison Ingram, Cormac Ryan, Elliot Cadeau, Jae'lyn Withers, Zayden High, Paxson Wojcik, James Okonkwo). How will these newbies handle their first UNC / Duke rivalry? The guys discuss storylines, key matchups (Bacot vs. Filipowksi!) and make game predictions!

North Carolina travels to Georgia Tech for another road ACC matchup. Will UNC avoid the potential "trap" of looking ahead to Duke on Saturday? Will the backcourt continue to own games? Carolina should have a big FT advantage in this one, will they take advantage? One area where GT matches up well is rebounding, a point of emphasis this season for Hubert Davis. Can the Heels get to the glass and win that battle? It has to be a group effort! Will RJ Davis continue to grow his ACC POY candidacy? Will Elliot Cadeau show more signs of growth and comfort?

North Carolina will host Louisville on Wednesday night in the Dean E. Smith Center, favored by 21.5 points. Unfortunately, Louisville's struggles continue, but it's no reason to let up. RJ Davis, Armando Bacot, Harrison Ingram and crew must continue to play at an elite level regardless of opponent. Jae'lyn Withers faces his former team - can he have a big game? The Tar Heels need to continue to win with Energy, Bench, Defense, and Rebouding. The Secondary Break Club has rolled out a new UNC store with officially licensed merchandise.

North Carolina pummeled Syracuse on Saturday, 103-67 behind 22 points from RJ Davis and doubles-doubles from both Armando Bacot and Harrison Ingram. Hubert Davis' team got production from all over the place including 39 bench points. Will Carolina be able to keep up this energy and intensity? Jae'lyn Withers seems to have found his niche, what are the results? Syracuse's starting center was out – did it help Carolina dominate points in the paint? Carolina got back to the free throw line in the volume that it hadn't in recent games. Elliot Cadeau's block and subsequent hockey assist to Armando Bacot via RJ Davis was the play of the game.

It's gameday for the Tar Heels! Carolina is playing their lowest ranked opponent of the regular season - Charleston Southern. What does Hubert Davis need his team to accomplish in this tune up before the main chunk of ACC play? What can RJ Davis and Armando Bacot do to ensure that they get ample time for their teammates coming off the bench? How can Elliot Cadeau take another step forward with helping lead the team? Which player off the bench will take advantage of the opportunity – Jalen Washington, Jae'lyn Withers, Paxson Wojcik, Zayden High? Can the Tar Heels have an elite defensive performance? Can the Davis / Cadeau backcourt get out with zero turnovers? Locked On Tar Heels Discord: https://discord.gg/DGhGSEPP2d Follow & Subscribe on all Podcast platforms… 

North Carolina finished Battle 4 Atlantis in third place after knocking off Northern Iowa, then losing to Villanova, and finally beating Arkansas. It was a good showing from Carolina, with nice redemption from last year's MTE – PK85. One of the big takeaways from Battle 4 Atlantis is wondering who is the best combination for the starting five. Host Isaac Schade suggests six players are currently deserving of being included. The no-brainers are RJ Davis, Armando Bacot, and Harrison Ingram. Cormac Ryan would be the next-most-obvious. That leaves either Elliot Cadeau or Jae'lyn Withers. Who does Isaac think would be best? There are some areas of concern coming out of Atlantis – unwillingness or incapability to change defensive plans when you're getting hammered by a certain offensive style, team-wide free throw percentage, and Carolina's foul issues. The regular season finale loss to NC State was sad, but was it indicative of bigger issues at play?

North Carolina leaves the Battle4Atlantis with a 2-1 record. Not the perfect outcome, but a strong showing, particularly from RJ Davis and Harrison Ingram. What exactly led to Carolina's performance? To start – Harrison Ingram has been a revelation for the Tar Heels, helping in ways and with a skill set the Tar Heels haven't had recently. Another factor was Carolina's toughness – do not call this a soft UNC team. What's up with Armando Bacot? Has the three-point shooting improved? Why were there so many fouls called? Did we learn any more about depth usage of players like Seth Trimble and Jalen Washington? Why does Jae'lyn Withers inclusion in the starting lineup help so much?

North Carolina has one more tune-up game tomorrow night before heading down to the Battle 4 Atlantis. What should we expect to see from the Tar Heels against UC-Riverside? Lineup changes? Shortening the rotation? Higher energy on defense? Will Armando Bacot continue his early-season tear? Will we see even more role definition off the bench for players like Jalen Washington, Jae'lyn Withers, Elliot Cadeau, Seth Trimble, Zayden High? There's new block/charge verbiage in college basketball this year. It's even stricter on what a player has to do in order to be able to draw a charge. Coach Rob helps interpret how to observe it and what we should be looking for. Don't miss today's story time!

North Carolina's margins of victory thus far aren't wildly dissimilar from last year's, but yet we feel that this team is infinitely better. Why so? Is it that Armando Bacot and RJ Davis are a year older? Is it that the complementary pieces are better, including Harrison Ingram and Cormac Ryan? Speaking of those four players, they project to be the top four scorers for UNC. Of the remaining seven scholarship players (Jalen Washington, Elliot Cadeau, Jae'lyn Withers, Seth Trimble, Paxson Wojcik, Zayden High, and James Okonkwo), who will be the fifth-leading scorer? Does it seem like a silly exercise? Perhaps, but it's derived from wondering who will step up in a way that's potentially unexpected? Also, Isaac Schade and Coach Pac Kilby discuss what they want to see from Carolina on Friday against UC-Riverside in the final tune-up before the non-conference schedule gets significantly more difficult.

North Carolina has not utilized much depth in the Hubert Davis era (360th in the nation in 2022-23 per KenPom). Is this the year that Coach Davis has the depth he can rely on to back up Armando Bacot, RJ Davis, Cormac Ryan, Harrison Ingram, and (so far) Paxson Wojcik? Will we see close to double-digit minutes for Elliot Cadeau, Jalen Washington, Zayden High, Jae'lyn Withers, and Seth Trimble? Is it possible that five Tar Heels could average double-digit points for the first time since 2017-18? As Carolina shares the ball more capably will we see the assist ratio raise up to 55% for the season? Is it possible that Armando Bacot finishes his career with 95 double-doubles? Isaac Schade & Coach Bill Robinson break down the answers to these questions in a game of Red Light, Green Light.

Armando Bacot has had a brilliant career at North Carolina – the all-time leader in rebounds and double-doubles amongst a host of other accolades and successes. Could this be his best year ever? Can he get back to the form of his junior year, or perhaps even surpass that? Will Elliot Cadeau's presence benefit Mando? Will having perimeter-oriented players like Harrison Ingram, Jae'lyn Withers, and Zayden High at the 4 create more space for him to operate?

It's time for another Locked On Tar Heels edition of “What If…? Wednesday”. The questions that came out today: What if UNC starts ACC play 4-0? What if Paxson Wojcik and Cormac Ryan come out on fire? What if Armando Bacot averages 16 points and 13 rebounds a game this season? These are great hypothetical questions that will have impacts not only on these players but also RJ Davis, Harrison Ingram, Elliot Cadeau, Jae'lyn Withers, etc. Host Isaac Schade and Coach Pac Kilby take you through each of these “what if…?” Scenarios.

It's our first ever “What If…? Wednesday”. Isaac Schade and Pac Kilby answer three “what if…” questions about the upcoming 2023-24 UNC college basketball season. What if Elliot Cadeau takes awhile to fully adjust to college basketball? How would that affect the Tar Heels? Will it put more of an onus on RJ Davis running the point? What it mean more time for Seth Trimble? What can Marcus Paige do to ease that transition? Second, what if UNC doesn't utilize its depth early on in the season? How will that affect the Tar Heels in both the short- and long-term? How does that potential hurt the development of Zayden High, Jalen Washington, Jae'lyn Withers, etc? Third, what would happen if the Tar Heels go 0-3 against Tennessee, UConn, and Kentucky? Locked On Tar Heels Discord: https://discord.gg/HU83XYuF Follow & Subscribe on all Podcast platforms… 

The Almanac included North Carolina's frontcourt as the seventh-ranked frontcourt in Division I with the return of Armando Bacot, along with the likes of Harrison Ingram, Jae'lyn Withers, and Jalen Washington, while the backcourt is ranked 15th thanks to the return of RJ Davis, plus Elliot Cadeau, Seth Trimble, Cormac Ryan, and Paxson Wojcik. The weird thing is that as a team, the Almanac ranks Carolina 24th. That doesn't seem to add up. Something has to be missing. The ACC and SEC released the specific details of the inaugural ACC / SEC Challenge on Monday. North Carolina will host Tennessee at 7:15pm ET on ESPN on Wednesday, November 29. Caleb Wilson (class of 2025) has scheduled a UNC visit for the weekend of November 11.

We've wrapped up our roster preview series talking about all 11 scholarship players for North Carolina in 2023-24 – from the freshmen (Elliot Cadeau and Zayden High) to the sophomores (Seth Trimble and Jalen Washington), the juniors (Stanford transfer Harrison Ingram and West Virginia transfer James Okonkwo), the lone scholarship senior (RJ Davis) and the grad students (Jae'lyn Withers, Paxson Wojcik, Cormac Ryan, and Armando Bacot). Today we dive into one of the most critical personnel groups on the team: The Biscuit Boys. This is the current moniker for UNC's walk-ons, currently made up of Duwe Farris, Rob Landry, and Creighton Lebo. Why do walk-ons play such a critical role? Could they beat me in basketball?

Today we tackle our final scholarship player and the guy you've been waiting for – Armando Bacot. Bacot is in what will be his final year and projects to continue racing up the Carolina record books, including likely becoming the number two all-timer scorer at Carolina.

Today we tackle our second intraconference transfer (and another grad student) – Notre Dame's Cormac Ryan. Ryan, in addition to being a great basketball player brings great leadership intangibles that will be welcome on this team. What will Ryan contribute on the court? Will he shoot north of 35% from three? Will he thrive from not having to be the man like he was at Notre Dame? How will he mess with the likes of RJ Davis and Elliot Cadeau?

We've already tackled the incoming freshmen (Elliot Cadeau and Zayden High) and the two returning sophomores (Seth Trimble and Jalen Washington), plus the two juniors (Stanford transfer Harrison Ingram and West Virginia transfer James Okonkwo). Will Withers be able to adjust to a likely different role than what he had at Louisville? Can he maintain his three-point shooting percentage that was up over 40%?

Milligan University head basketball coach Bill Robinson has been working UNC basketball camp for two decades and had the opportunity this summer to see the 2023-24 Tar Heels up close and personal. He likes what he sees out of this team; a group he believes will share the ball more capably, run more, and utilize more depth. Coach has high praise for Elliot Cadeau's development, seeing even more Ty Lawson in him than Kendall Marshall.

North Carolina head men's basketball coach Hubert Davis held his summer press conference on Thursday and discussed a multitude of topics including working to understand what went wrong last season. Coach Davis eyed two key areas of concern to be rectified this season: three point shooting and sharing the basketball. Given the return of RJ Davis, adding in Cormac Ryan, Paxson Wojcik, and Jae'lyn Withers, the Heels should take a step forward shooting from deep. With the additions of Elliot Cadeau and Harrison Ingram, Carolina's assist numbers should skyrocket. Coach Davis also discussed how the team needs to continue to focus on “discipline and details” in order to achieve everything they're looking for. Host Isaac Schade also drops some Friday nuggets, including the football camp schedule, Leaky Black signing a two-way contract with the Hornets and more.

There's been speculation on if UNC would utilize any of their three remaining scholarships for the upcoming basketball season to help solidify the team that is forming. You've got your stalwarts in Armando Bacot and RJ Davis, the returning sophomores in Jalen Washington and Seth Trimble, the transfers Harrison Ingram, Cormac Ryan, Jae'lyn Withers, and Paxson Wojcik, plus the incoming freshmen Elliot Cadeau and Zayden High. We've learned this week that the coaching staff is at least interested in still having questions with players as they've reached out to two West Virginia transfer portal entries. Nationally, there's been a good deal of conversation about the shape and scope of recruiting in the present and moving forward. Will teams continue to recruit from the high school ranks or turn towards more portal additions or a combination of both? There are things to be learned about UNC's approach based on who Hubert Davis is targeting and offering in 2025. Will UNC utilize more secondary break and high pick-n-roll in 2023-24?

Jarin Stevenson committed to Alabama on Wednesday over North Carolina and Virginia. Combined with GG Jackson's decommitment and Simeon Wilcher's decommitment, it might feel like a “sky is falling” moment. However, it's not that and it's not an indictment on UNC recruiting, but rather, it's a sign of the times. In this one-year-at-time approach to school, players look more at the short-term opportunities rather than always a full educational commitment. The second Hubert Davis basketball camp wrapped up on Wednesday and the current players beat the alums this time around 71-68. Elliot Cadeau didn't played because of a lower body injury, but RJ Davis, Cormac Ryan, Harrison Ingram, Jae'lyn Withers, and Armando Bacot started for the current players. The USA women's World Cup roster was announced on Tuesday and two Tar Heels – Emily Fox (1st appearance) and Crystal Dunn (2nd) both made the team.

Elliot Cadeau has come to North Carolina a year ahead of schedule and much of the conversation focuses around his role on the team and how he immediately impacts things. While most assume he will be in the starting lineup, it's worth asking the question: Should he start or would it be beneficial to come off the bench to start the season (similar to Kendall Marshall)? The boys from Heel Tough Blog weigh in with Isaac Schade. Josh Marlow suggests a starting lineup of RJ Davis, Cormac Ryan, Paxson Wojcik, Harrison Ingram, and Armando Bacot. Anthony Pagnotta suggests Davis, Ryan, Ingram, Jae'lyn Withers, and Bacot. Host Isaac Schade sticks with his presumed starting five of Cadeau, Davis, Ryan, Ingram, and Bacot. Turning to football, Carolina has had a flurry of offers and commitments in the class of 2024. Pagnotta shares who he's most excited about including Curtis Simpson and Crews Law.

UNC Basketball camp is going on this week and that means it's time for the annual scrimmages between the current team and the alums that are on hand, and now with a new coach – Coach Paige – coaching the current team. The alums, behind a James Michael McAdoo dunk off a Cole Anthony pass, beat the current team 70-68. Armando Baco and RJ Davis both looked good for the current players. All four transfers (Cormac Ryan, Harrison Ingram, Jae'lyn Withers, Paxson Wojcik) were able to contribute. The freshmen (Elliot Cadeau, Zayden High) didn't participate, but a source has seen Elliot play multiple times in the post-camp open gym sessions and told host Isaac Schade “Elliot is special”.

The news broke on Tuesday that Simeon Wilcher has formally requested a release from his National Letter of Intent to play for North Carolina this upcoming basketball season. While the timing was surprising, the reality of this request is not all that shocking. With Elliot Cadeau's addition to the 2023-24 lineup, the opportunity for Wilcher to get a high volume of reps as the main ball handler didn't project to be in the cards. Following Wilcher's de-commitment, North Carolina currently has 10 scholarship players, with three available scholarship players. The backcourt quintet are RJ Davis, Elliot Cadeau, Seth Trimble, Cormac Ryan, and Paxson Wojcik. The other five are Armando Bacot, Jalen Washington, Harrison Ingram, Zayden High, and Jae'lyn Withers.

Elliot Cadeau is coming to UNC a year early and one of the questions becomes “How will RJ Davis and Elliot Cadeau fit together in a way that Davis and Caleb Love didn't last year?” Should we expect Cadeau to come in and grab the starting point guard spot right out of the gate? Behind the presumptive starting five of Cadeau, Davis, Cormac Ryan, Harrison Ingram, and Armando Bacot, who will get minutes as part of the rotation? Will Hubert Davis feel pressure to utilize his bench to a higher degree than his first two seasons? Who are those main players off the bench? Returning players Jalen Washington and Seth Trimble?

So much time and energy has been spent this college basketball offseason focusing on the new whirlwind of activity in the transfer portal – including Carolina losing seven players (Caleb Love, Puff Johnson, Dontrez Styles, D'Marco Dunn, Tyler Nickel, Justin McKoy, Will Shaver) and getting four players (Harrison Ingram, Cormac Ryan, Paxson Wojcik, Jae'lyn Withers) – and discussing possible reclassifications that we've not had our usual amount of focus and attention on the incoming freshmen. It's time to change that. Zayden High and Simeon Wilcher bring intriguing skill sets to the Tar Heels in 2023-24. What will they specifically add to this, their first edition of UNC? What will their roles be? What are their likely floors and ceilings? Turning to the football field, Michael Merdinger is the QB commit for the class of 2024.

It's a MAILBAG episode! There's questions about next season, like “Who do you think will breakout for UNC next season?” There are questions about next year's starting lineup – whether it's better to have a smaller starting lineup with Cormac Ryan at three and Harrison Ingram at four or Harrison Ingram at three and Jae'lyn Withers at the four. Will we continue to see fewer true centers and if so, why? There are also questions looking back – what was the biggest issue with this past season's team that led to the lack of on-court success? Who was the most underrated player of last season? Listeners also submitted questions about how the podcast is put together. If you didn't get your question in, make sure to submit it next time!

North Carolina has lost seven different players to the transfer portal, including Caleb Love, Puff Johnson, D'Marco Dunn, Dontrez Styles, Tyler Nickel, Justin McKoy, and Will Shaver. The question becomes: Who's the most surprising of that group to leave Chapel Hill? On the other side of the coin, which of the incoming transfers will have the biggest impact: Paxson Wojcik, Harrison Ingram, Cormac Ryan, or Jae'lyn Withers? Is this overhaul a good “culture reset” for Carolina or is it too much turnover? UNC had massive expectations heading into Sam Howell's final season, both for he as an individual and for team success, but neither were meant to be. The question now is: Has Mack Brown done enough this offseason to make Drake Maye's (presumptive) final season in Chapel Hill different than Howell's? Follow & Subscribe on all Podcast platforms… 

In the first stretch of the transfer portal, prior to the portal closing, North Carolina has lost seven players and brought in four. Based on quality and quantity of players in and players out how have the Tar Heels fared on a scale of 1-10. They've lost Caleb Love, Puff Johnson, D'Marco Dunn, Dontrez Styles, Justin McKoy, Tyler Nickel, and Will Shaver. The incoming players are Harrison Ingram, Cormac Ryan, Jae'lyn Withers, and Paxson Wojcik. Additionally what could happen with the final three scholarships to raise or lower than number between one and ten. The ACC Spring meetings are taking place this week and the talk is the current media rights deal, and by natural progression, realignment. As we come to another round of realignment talk, host Isaac Schade and Pac Kilby answer the question: Would you rather see North Carolina stay in the ACC, go to a different conference (and if so, which one), or be part of starting a brand new conference?

Following D'Marco Dunn's transfer out, North Carolina now has three scholarships to utilize, if they so choose, for the 2023-24 season. Hubert Davis' third team will return four scholarship players from last season (Armando Bacot, RJ Davis, Jalen Washington, Seth Trimble) while adding two freshmen (Simeon Wilcher, Zayden High) and four transfers (Harrison Ingram, Cormac Ryan, Jae'lyn Withers, & Paxson Wojcik). How will Coach Davis utilize these three? Will he use one on Elliot Cadeau? Will he give any to walk-ons to avoid potential drama of having scholarship players at the end of the bench not playing? Leaky Black took place in the G League Elite Camp over the weekend. Multiple Tar Heels graduated. Women's tennis and lacrosse each moved onto the Elite Eight. Baseball swept NC State at home for the first time since 2006. Follow & Subscribe on all Podcast platforms… 

At this point, it's all too clear: Elliot Cadeau needs to re-classify and come on to Chapel Hill with the 2023 class. The combination of what he can already do and what that skill set would mean for the current roster is too good to pass up. In the transfer portal / NIL era, you have to take when you can get when it's ready to be had. If Cadeau comes, the starting lineup for next season likely looks quite a bit different. Previously, host Isaac Schade had suggested a starting lineup of RJ Davis, Cormac Ryan, Harrison Ingram, Jae'lyn Withers, and Armando Bacot. However with Cadeau in the mix, Schade would choose Cadeau, Davis, Ryan, Ingram, and Bacot. Leaky Black has been invited to the G League's Camp from which a few players will be invited to the official NBA Combine. Follow & Subscribe on all Podcast platforms… 

The transfer portal for men's basketball closes Thursday evening at 11:59pm. Currently, North Carolina has lost six players in the portal – Caleb Love, Puff Johnson, Tyler Nickel, Dontrez Styles, Justin McKoy, and Will Shaver – while adding Harrison Ingram, Cormac Ryan, Jae'lyn Withers, and Paxson Wojcik. Once the portal closes, student-athletes can't transfer and play immediately; they can, however still commit to a new school if they're already in the portal. The question for North Carolina becomes: Will the Tar Heels lose any more players to the portal? If so, who? And how do you factor into those decisions the fact that UNC still has two more scholarships they can hand out? If you're a player, how do you process the timeline to make that decision with incomplete information? Follow & Subscribe on all Podcast platforms… 

North Carolina would benefit from another frontcourt player to help spell Armando Bacot, Jae'lyn Withers, Jalen Washington, and Zayden High. With two remaining scholarships, they certainly have the space to pick up another player or two. One such candidate could by North Dakota State transfer Grant Nelson, who entered the transfer portal on Tuesday after three years in Fargo. He has a unique skill set that pops off screen, but the question becomes: Would his style and usage rate mesh with the rest of the current Carolina roster? That will be up to Hubert Davis and the coaching staff to decide. Host Isaac Schade lays out the cases for and against bringing in Nelson, plus what a starting lineup might look like with him in it. UNC will once again be playing the CBS Sports Classic in December and it was recently revealed that the event will be held in Atlanta and that the Heels will likely be playing Kentucky, rather than UCLA as initially imagined.

ESPN (Jeff Borzello) released their most recent way-too-early Top 25 college basketball rankings on Monday. North Carolina has moved up from 23rd to 19th. Host Isaac Schade thinks that's not only too high, but that the Tar Heels shouldn't currently be ranked at all, despite getting back RJ Davis and Armando Bacot. Hubert Davis' squad needs to prove they belong before they should be invited to the party. In the top 25 blurb, Borzello lists his projected starting lineup for North Carolina, which includes Cormac Ryan, Simeon Wilcher, and Harrison Ingram in addition to Davis and Bacot. Isaac Schade's starting lineup is the same but switching Jae'lyn Withers in and Wilcher out. Who's correct? KJ Davis tweeted again on Monday, but only to say that he had been silenced; still no news. The tennis (men's and women's) NCAA Tournament brackets were revealed on Monday evening, with the women No. 1 overall and the men No. 16 overally. Follow & Subscribe on all Podcast platforms… 

Ron Holland, the No. 1 PF in the class of 2023, decommitted from Texas on Friday and will open up his recruitment. North Carolina could really utilize him to help round a frontcourt that's quite thin with just Armando Bacot, Jalen Washinton, and Jae'lyn Withers. Holland would provide immediate help in that regard. The NFL Draft was this weekend and four Tar Heels were drafted. In fact, for the third straight season, four or more Tar Heels have been drafted. This year's crew included Josh Downs (3rd, 79, Colts), Asim Richards (5th, 169, Cowboys), Antoine Green (7th, 219, Lions), and Ray Vohasek (7th, 227, Jaguars). The lady Tar Heels brought in another transfer, this time rising sophomore Indya Nivar. Nivar is transferring from Stanford giving Coach Courtney Banghart three total transfers in this cycle.

Stanford transfer Harrison Ingram is coming to the Tar Heels for the 2023-24 season, joining pillars RJ Davis and Armando Bacot, along with three other transfers in Cormac Ryan, Jae'lyn Withers, and Paxson Wojcik. Ingram came out of high school as the No. 19 player in the country and a projected one-and-done player. How could he fit at Carolina in a way that makes him more like that player he was in high school? How will Coach Hubert Davis utilize Ingram's unique skill set in a way that highlights what he does best? Host Isaac Schade talks with a coach that played against him throughout high school and often scouted him. Follow & Subscribe on all Podcast platforms… 

With everything we've talked about surrounding UNC's roster construction for 2023-24, we haven't considered the possibility of Jarin Stevenson (No. 1 PF in 2024) committing to the Tar Heels and re-classifying to the class of 2023. What if he did so and took one of UNC's final 2 scholarships for next season? Could he slot in alongside Armando Bacot in the frontcourt? At the very least, he would challenge for a starting role and would add great depth along with Bacot, Jae'lyn Withers, and Jalen Washington. Early this week, North Carolina extended their 2nd and 3rd scholarship offers to the class of 2025 – Darryn Peterson (SG) and Koa Peat (PF). UNC women's basketball picked up two-way player Lexi Donarski from Iowa St, a former Big 12 Freshman of the Year and Defensive Player of the Year. Donarski was ranked No. 4 in 247Sports' transfer rankings. Sad news for UNC Football, which lost Ja'Qurious Conley to the transfer portal. Follow & Subscribe on all Podcast platforms… 

North Carolina landed their third transfer commitment of the offseason on Thursday – Notre Dame's Cormac Ryan. Ryan joins Paxson Wojcik and Jae'lyn Withers as players coming to Chapel Hill via the portal. Ryan brings a wealth of experience and leadership from his years spent at both Stanford and Notre Dame. Not only is he capable of knocking down shots from outside, he averages four rebounds a game and 2.5 assists and knocks down 80% of his free throws. Host Isaac Schade is of the opinion that he's actually a better fit for the Tar Heels than Nick Timberlake would have been (although would have gladly welcomed Timberlake as well!). How will Ryan fit in? What will his role be? Will he play the 2 or the 3? Will he be a starter or a bench player? The answers to some of these questions will be determined by who else transfers to UNC. Follow & Subscribe on all Podcast platforms…

On Tuesday Duke's Kyle Filipowski announced his intention to return to Durham for his sophomore year. In a corresponding move, incoming freshman Mackenzie Mgbako asked for a release from his National Letter of Intent so that he could re-open his recruiting. Mgbako is a high school teammate of incoming Carolina freshman Simeon Wilcher. Carolina needs a legit stretch four and that's exactly what Mgbako would bring to the table alongside Armando Bacot in the frontcourt with RJ Davis holding it down in the backcourt. Earlier on Tuesday, Louisville transfer Jae'lyn Withers announced his commitment to North Carolina. The rising redshirt senior also has a COVID year of eligibility and could play in Chapel Hill for two seasons. Coach Pac Kilby joins host Isaac Schade as he does every Wednesday and finishes the show by discussing why he thinks Harrison Ingram would be a great fit with Carolina.

One of the recent transfers North Carolina has been connected to is Louisville's Jae'Lyn Withers. Withers has played three up and down years for the Cardinals. The question becomes – was his inconsistent production a result of his own play or the circumstances in which he's found himself? Hubert Davis and the rest of the coaching staff will have to answer that question. The latest on Harrison Ingram is that the Tar Heels are in the lead, but the likes of Kansas, Kentucky, and Michigan are lurking. Reports state that Ingram fielded calls from both Bill Self and John Calipari on Monday. What will Ingram ultimately decide and when? Carolina's 2023 Jumpman Invitational opponent will be Oklahoma while Michigan plays Florida. In 2024, the Heels will face the Gators. Follow & Subscribe on all Podcast platforms… 

After the commitments from Dennis Evans, Skyy Clark, and Trentyn Flowers, Dalton explains how Kenny Payne should fill out the rest of Louisville's roster. He believes that the program should go after two starting-caliber guards and a starting-caliber big man. He then analyzes what Jae'Lyn Withers entering the transfer portal means for next year's team. At the end, Dalton discusses the women's basketball team's dominant victory over 4th-seeded Texas in the round of 32 of the NCAA Tournament. The fifth-seeded Cardinals utilized solid defense, balanced offense, and a huge performance from Hailey Van Lith (game-high 21 points). Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

Dalton explains why the season opener for the Louisville Cardinals' men's basketball team against the Bellarmine Knights is a tough and dangerous matchup. Scotty Davenport's squads are always solid perimeter shooting teams that move well without the basketball and Louisville will need to put together a solid performance to ensure victory. In the second segment, Dalton discusses what is at stake for the Louisville football team against the #10 Clemson Tigers on Saturday afternoon. There is not a lot to lose, but a significant amount to gain with a victory for the Cardinals in Death Valley: recruiting momentum, on-the-field production, and the continued upward trajectory for the immediate future of the program. Finally, he identifies Jae'Lyn Withers and El Ellis as the players to watch for Louisville against Bellarmine. Withers has been the best player throughout the first two exhibition games and will be relied upon to continue his solid production in this first matchup. With the back court featuring significant youth and inexperience, it is critical that Ellis has a solid performance in the Cardinals' first game.

Over the past week, Louisville basketball players Jae'Lyn Withers and JJ Traynor announced their intentions to return to the team next season. For the former, working with Kenny Payne over the offseason may allow him to get back on track after a disappointing sophomore season. It's evident that the talent is there, and Payne's ability to develop big mEn will do wonders for the Cleveland, Oh native. Traynor only appeared in 10 games last season, and struggled to make an impact in limited action. Dalton explains why he believes that Traynor could develop into a second-unit contributor next season. In the end, Dalton conducts the weekly mailbag filled with key recruiting questions.
