Note: with 15 teams now, we have to start ACC previews early. Actually, this year we may have started a little bit late.
Last year, UNC had a great core with Luke Maye, Coby White, Nassir Little, Kenny Williams, Cam Johnson and Seventh Woods, all upperclassmen save White and Little who were freshmen.
All those guys were pretty good, but they’re all gone now and what’s striking when you look at UNC’s 2019-20 roster - well, let’s just list the returning upperclassmen first, in descending order.
- Brandon Robinson (Sr)
- Shea Rush (Sr)
- Andrew Platek (Jr)
- Garrison Brooks (Jr)
- Sterling Manley (Jr)
- Walker Miller (Jr)
- KJ Smith (Jr)
- Brandon Huffman (Jr)
If we’re not mistaken, three of the eight are either walk-ons or started as walk-ons.
