It’s time for some more retrospectives! This week, we’re looking at and grading UNC’s whole roster, class by class. Today, we’re starting with the freshmen and newcomers (minus one, but I’ll get to that).
One of the challenges that Hubert Davis faced when he took the reins of UNC men’s basketball was massive impending roster turnover without much coming in to replace players who would leave. Day’Ron Sharpe left for the draft; Walker Kessler transferred; Garrison Brooks and Andrew Platek grad transferred, and Sterling Manley graduated. Coming in to fill those five vacancies was a two-man recruiting class of Dontrez Styles and D’Marco Dunn, so Davis had a job to do in the transfer portal as soon as he sat down in his new office for the first time.
