You know the old joke about you can't tell the players without a scorecard? It’s beyond that in college basketball.
With the new transfer rule, it’s almost impossible to know a team’s roster. Well, you can know who’s on it, but knowing what they can do? That’s another story all together (there is a business here for someone who just scouts, quantifies and runs analytics on every single player in the portal. AI should make it possible soon).
In ACC Preview #1, we talked about UNC losing seven players to transfer. It’s nearly as bad in Raleigh: eight players won’t be back for coach Kevin Keatts and as far as we know, only two graduated or are out of eligibility.
