Not only are Kennedy Meeks, Isaiah Hicks and Nate Britt set to graduate, players like Justin Jackson, Theo Pinson and Joel Berry are also possibilities to leave early for the NBA.

So far the only commitment is point guard Jalek Felton, but UNC is targeting a handful of quality players and hoping to learn decisions in the near future.
