UNC basketball’s 2023-2024 jersey numbers are officially in
North Carolina basketball will have a new look this year after a disappointing end to the 2022-23 season.
UNC returns an all-time great in Armando Bacot, the program’s all-time leader in rebounds (1,335) and double-doubles (68), at the center spot. R.J. Davis, the Heels’ most consistent scorer last season (16.1 points per game, double-digit points in all but four games), will likely split point guard duties with freshman Elliot Cadeau and spend time at shooting guard.
The Heels brought in five players from the transfer portal – projected starters Harrison Ingram (Stanford) and Jae’Lyn Withers (Louisville), plus Cormac Ryan (Notre Dame), Paxson Wojcik (Brown) and James Okonkwo (West Virginia). They’ll also sport returners Jalen Washington and Seth Trimble, Robert Landry, Creighton Lebo, Duwe Farris, plus another freshman in Zayden High.
On Monday, July 31, players got an exciting step closer to the season, as they received jersey numbers.
High and Cadeau, the two freshmen, wear numbers one and two. Ryan sports three, while Davis stays wearing the four and Bacot will keep his five. Trimble wears seven again, while Wojcik is given eight. Washington will wear the Lucky 13, Lebo dons 14, Landry has the Taylor Swift connection with number 22 and Withers wears 24. Okonkwo puts 32 on, Farris takes 34 and Ingram puts 55 on his back.
