While RJ Davis is heading to the NBA draft, a few other stars such as Elliot Cadeau and Ian Jackson, both of whom committed to UNC as among the best guards in their respective recruiting class, have transferred from the program.Jackson took to his talents to the St. John’s Red Storm, while Cadeau will be playing for the Michigan Wolverines next season.
North Carolina also lost former blue-chip commit Drake Powell.
After one season at UNC, Powell is heading to the NBA draft. As he worked through the draft process, Powell received an invitation for the draft combine and once that news was released, the Tar Heels sent him a message.
“Best of luck at the Draft Combine, @drakepoww!” posted the official social media account of the North Carolina Tar Heels
