Tar Heels Not Shying Away From Praising Loaded Defensive Front

Posted Aug 14, 2022

Among the ten players that could be in the rotation this season, one was a 5-star in high school, and six were 4-star recruits. In addition, seven of the players were rated at No. 140 or better in their class. (Tar Heel Illustrated)
