UNC Basketball will have one new starter, if not more, in 2015-16
Posted Oct 29, 2015
UNC returns four starters from last season. Moving forward, the team will have at least one new starter. In breaking down his roster Wednesday at the ACC Operation Basketball event, coach Roy Williams named only Marcus Paige, Brice Johnson and Justin Jackson as almost-certain starters, leaving off post player Kennedy Meeks and not speculating on a replacement for the departed J.P. Tokoto.
