What does 247Sports think of UNC basketball’s title chances early for 2024-25 season?

There is still a long way to go before we have college basketball on our TVs again but the offseason content never stops. As we get set for a new season, there have been some big changes to rosters across the sport.

With recruiting classes coming in, NBA Draft decisions finalized and the transfer portal, rosters will look a lot different. And now, 247Sports is giving their early preview of the upcoming season.

In Isaac Trotter’s top storylines for the 2024-25 season, he breaks down the national title contenders in tiers. For North Carolina, they land in tier two at this stage of the offseason:

North Carolina is joined by Baylor, Tennessee, Iowa State, and Arizona in that tier. In tier one are Duke, UConn, Alabama, Gonzaga, Houston, Kansas and Auburn.

Now, there is a very long way to go before we even get to Selection Sunday for the 2025 NCAA Tournament but the preseason hype for the Tar Heels is starting to build just a little bit.
