UNC gets some great news for next year's team

He made the right choice with this one.

North Carolina already knew it would be losing Brice Johnson to the NBA Draft and Marcus Paige to graduation. The Tar Heels were really hoping that Kennedy Meeks and Justin Jackson would return to give them some leadership and a chance at returning to the national title game.

UNC got half that duo back with the announcement that Meeks would be coming back for his senior season.

If the would-be junior Jackson decides to withdraw his name from the NBA Draft then this team should be looking pretty good with Joel Berry II at the point guard spot and a solid recruiting class coming in to replace Johnson and Paige.

Five-star center Tony Bradley should have the ability to get meaningful minutes right away while four-star guards Seventh Woods and Brandon Robinson can definitely work themselves into the rotation.
