Hubert Davis and the UNC basketball program have filled one of their remaining scholarships on the 2023-2024 squad with the addition of James Okonkwo.
The original plan was for West Virginia transfer James Okonkwo to visit North Carolina later in the month.
However, that visit won’t be necessary, as Okonkwo has expedited the process and committed to the UNC basketball program.
The former Mountaineer made it official, as first reported by Joe Tipton of On3. Here’s what the latest addition to the Tar Heels had to say about his commitment:
“After being in communication with the UNC coaching staff following my decision to enter the transfer portal, I have decided to commit to UNC to play for Coach Davis in the 2023-2024 season.
