Things in Chapel Hill, North Carolina are pretty ugly right now, at least as it pertains to the men’s basketball program. The Tar Heels are suffering their first losing record in better than 15 years, and if they finish with a sub-.500 record in 2020, it would be their first since an 8-20 season under former head coach Matt Doherty.
Meanwhile, however, the Tar Heels have a lot to look forward to with the nation’s third-ranked recruiting class for 2020. The class — which is the highest-rated at North Carolina in better than 10 years — features three 5-star players and a pair of 4-stars, led by Day’Ron Sharpe, Walker Kessler and Caleb Love.
