National Title Contenders: Tier Two

In Isaac Trotter’s preview of the 2024-25 season, North Carolina finds itself in tier two, alongside Baylor, Tennessee, Iowa State, and Arizona. While the Tar Heels’ lack of positional size is a concern, RJ Davis is more than capable of dominating the court. When he’s on form, Davis is virtually unguardable.

“When he’s humming, Davis is unguardable.”

North Carolina’s preseason hype is slowly building, and with good reason. The team’s potential is undeniable, and fans are eager to see how the new roster will come together.
