When the Heels opted to not play in the NIT, it felt like that meant we would experience some quick decisions from this year’s roster in terms of their future plans. it turns out that those feelings were correct, and that the Tar Heels are now down two players to the NCAA Transfer Portal.
Freshman guard Tyler Nickel and senior forward Justin McKoy entered the Transfer Portal tonight, freeing up two spots on Hubert Davis’ roster. Both players didn’t see a great deal of playing time, but Nickel saw a little bit more than McKoy did. We knew that there would inevitably be some attrition when it came to the bench, and if I’m Hubert Davis, I’m hoping that those are the only two bench players to go elsewhere.
