You know the college basketball season is quickly approaching when the annual ACC Tipoff event is under a week away!
Ahead of the gathering in Charlotte, the Atlantic Coast Conference announced each team's representatives for the big media availability ahead of the 2025-2026 season.
While RJ Davis won't be there representing the Tar Heels (as he did each of the previous two years), Seth Trimble will be in attendance once again for this year's event. Trimble, the undoubted leader of this year's squad, is one of very few returners from last year's team and is set to become the first four-year player that Hubert Davis has had as the head coach of the UNC basketball program.
Honestly, with the way college athletics is going, Trimble might be the lone four-year guy Davis ever coaches.
Along with Trimble, Arizona transfer Henri Veesaar will also be there to represent his new team. One of the best big men to enter the transfer portal this offseason, Veesaar is expected to make a major impact as North Carolina aims to get back to having a ton of size and athleticism to work with (contrary to last year's squad that was tremendously undersized).
The UNC basketball program underwent a significant transformation this offseason, assembling a roster that features a number of newcomers. North Carolina will be one of the most interesting teams in the conference (and the country) to follow this season, as there's plenty of pressure on Davis and his staff to get the UNC basketball program back to elite status.
