Hubert Davis has previously compared the transfer portal to free agency; an offseason in which players hold all the cards and, thanks to COVID, are not penalized by having to sit out a year should they choose to switch programs. If their current situation is not immediately satisfying, they are free and clear to take their talents elsewhere.
In Hubert’s tenure as head coach of the North Carolina Tar Heels, ten players have been sucked into the transfer portal (eleven if you include the latest from this season), looking for greener grass, a new opportunity, and more playing time.
