About this episode

The episode discusses UNC's efforts to recruit Joaquim Boumtje Boumtje amidst competition from Duke.

North Carolina Tar Heels face a challenge in rebuilding their frontcourt after losing key big men, including Henri Veesaar, Zayden High, and James Brown. Coach Michael Malone is actively seeking international talent, particularly Spains Joaquim Boumtje Boumtje, a five-star center from FC Barcelona. However, Duke is also in the running for his commitment, and a recent crystal ball prediction from top analyst Travis Branham favors Duke.
