UNC Basketball: CBS Sports sleeping on these two Tar Heels

CBS Sports released its latest preseason college basketball rankings on Tuesday afternoon, naming the 15 graduate transfers who will have the most impact on their respective teams this season.

Per the usual, CBS named former Virginia Tech Hokie and current Florida Gator Kerry Blackshear, Jr. the No. 1 grad transfer in the nation. Blackshear put together a nice couple of seasons in Blacksburg, no doubt, averaging 13.7 points and 6.8 rebounds per game through his sophomore and junior seasons. But the level in which Blackshear has been valued this summer, and the way he’s expected to impact the Gators’ overall season has been a bit of a stretch.
