SO SHOCKING:tar heel boys are in a very serious tears to for losing a key play RJ….

In that time, North Carolina spotted him, watching him during the Nike Elite Youth Basketball League in Indianapolis. Hubert Davis, then an assistant coach at North Carolina, was checking in on a number of games at the same time, and he couldn’t take his eyes off of R.J. Davis.

“He hit a 3. Then I was looking at another game and just turned around. I saw him get a steal and a lay-in,” Hubert Davis recalled. “I’m watching another game, turned around, he hit another 3. And then I kept looking and walking around to other games. And I turned around and he hit another 3.

“He just kept making winning plays every time that I watched him on the floor. And I just felt like that would be the perfect fit for us, because he was making plays on the ball and off the ball. And I just felt like that’s one of the things that we needed.”

We are now just one week away from the Tar Heels’ season tip-off against Radford, and given the state of the football program, it cannot get here soon enough. Carolina is coming off a couple impressive showings in exhibition wins over FAU and St. Augustine’s. They reportedly dominated the Owls in a secret scrimmage and throttled an albeit less gifted Falcons team on Friday, 117-53.

In the Heels’ 64-point victory over St. Augustine’s, there really wasn’t anything to complain about. Obviously, I am cautious to overreact to a preseason game against a Division II opponent, but they showed you everything you could hope for from a team perspective. The defensive intensity was there from the opening tip until the final buzzer. We saw myriad different lineup combinations and virtually no drop-off from one to the next. The ball movement was purposeful, the pace was pushed consistently, and six different guys made at least two three-pointers. It was Carolina Basketball.
