On Friday, news emerged from Inside Carolina that North Carolina was interested in Kentucky transfer Sacha Killeya-Jones. After two season coming off the bench in Lexington, the 6-10 power forward got a full release from the Wildcats.
While bringing in transfers hasn’t always been Roy Williams’ style (Cam Johnson was the first in several years), it certainly makes sense that the Tar Heels would be interested in Killeya-Jones. He was a five-star recruit out of high school from Chapel Hill whom UNC offered the first time around. He ruled out Carolina in his first recruitment due to the NCAA investigation, and hey, that’s cleared up recently.
