This morning it was announced that UNC forward James Okonkwo is entering the transfer portal. This announcement comes off of the heels of Hubert Davis’ end-of-year meetings that took place this week, and Okonkwo is the first player to announce his departure.
Okonkwo is a 6’8 junior that joined the program from West Virginia. He didn’t get much playing time during the season, totaling just 44 minutes on the floor. He averaged 1.0 points and 1.0 rebounds, and mostly saw playing time when Carolina was up big. Hubert Davis was a big fan of how Okonkwo was developing, but ultimately the junior is doing what is best for him and the rest of his college career.
