North Carolina will head into this season with lofty expectations after the revamp of the entire roster. The Tar Heels will go from having virtually no frontcourt this season to one of the best in the country behind transfer Henri Veesaar and freshman Caleb Wilson.
With the season just a week away, the Tar Heels will be put to the test in a top-25 showdown as an exhibition game. This match against BYU is going to show Hubert Davis where his team needs to improve and the rotation that will work best.

A massive roster overhaul defined the Cougars’ offseason as the program landed what’s been called “the most talented class in program history,” headlined by freshman AJ Dybantsa (projected as a top NBA draft pick) and a wave of transfers, including Rob Wright, Dominique Diomande, and Kennard Davis.

The potential for North Carolina is high. If this new group gels quickly, the Tar Heels have the skill set to contend in the ACC and earn a meaningful postseason run. However, the caveat remains significant—cohesion, continuity, and experience are lacking. The success of this season hinges on how well the newcomers adapt to Chapel Hill and how quickly they can fill the void left by outgoing veterans.
With nearly the entire roster turned over, key acquisitions include big-man transfer Henri Veesaar from Arizona, guard/creator Kyan Evans from Colorado State, and wing/forward Luka Bogavac of Montenegro will determine the future of this program, and this exhibition will be an opportunity to see them gel.
