## Resource

UNC’s basketball team starts the season ranked 25th, the lowest spot on ESPN’s early list — a familiar spot from last year. But don’t count them out: they’ve rebuilt with fresh talent, especially standout transfer guard Matt Able, a highly-rated recruit with elite shooting potential. While other newcomers showed promise, ESPN’s analysts are betting on Able to explode under the new coaching staff. Add in international prospects Sayon Keita and Maximo Adams, plus returning contributors, and UNC’s depth could push them far above their starting ranking as the season progresses.
