With North Carolina sitting at 4-3 overall and 3-3 in the ACC and coming off its bye week, THI had the time to dive into the Tar Heels’ roster to learn more about its personnel, those players getting the majority of the game reps and those developing and waiting their turn.

It certainly is important, there’s no denying that, and there are legitimate questions. But with respect to where the higher rated players are on the roster, its youth is the key. UNC has 25 players on its roster that were 4-star prospects and one 5-star, but 16 of them either recently turned 20 years of age or are still teenagers.
