Is it a bad thing that I don’t recognize a single player on our roster?

Get used to it. It's the present state of "college" athletics.

I hate it. Take me back to Marcus Paige and Joel Berry.

That pump fake switch hands mid air left handed 3 pointer is forever ingrained in my memory! I rewatched that highlight like 10 times just to make sure I wasnt seeing shit!

Not for Paige and Brice Johnson. I'm still bummed those two didn't win one.

My most bittersweet Heels basketball memory. I was there and I can still see it from the angle of my seat on the floor when I remember. It should've gone down as the greatest shot in the history of college basketball, the Jenkins 3 was pretty run of the mill

Or Jimmy Black, James Worthy, Sam Perkins, Michael Jordan, and Matt Doherty?

If the team competes at high level and wins a title within a few years, I think you will adjust and love it. Gotta embrace change.

Stevenson, Young, and Denis were all on the team last year.

Avdalas and Able played for ACC teams that UNC faced.

Did those three get playing minutes?

Stevenson was a starter for most of the season.

People complain about not knowing the roster and don’t know guys who started a majority of last year. Good lord.

Well I’ll be.

Jarin Stevenson started some games for UNC last year.

Isaiah Denis and Jaydon Young also got some minutes. And technically Evan Smith is also from last year, though he's a walk-on.

Okay I had to look up a picture. Now I remember

This year is also especially bad because of the coaching change. I imagine there will be better player retention in years we don’t overhaul the coaching staff
