NCAA Basketball: Top 25 impact transfer pickups from 2023 offseason
By John Makuch
No. 10 Harrison Ingram (UNC)
UNC has been on the hunt to get back to their glory days for some time now, and the transfer of Harrison Ingram can put them back on that trajectory.
Ingram heads into next season a junior after two strong seasons for the Stanford Cardinal, and last year he averaged 10.5 points, 5.8 rebounds, and 3.7 assists per game. For a guy that comes in at 6’7, being able to pass as effectively as he does along with his all-around game is something that a lot of teams would covet, and the Tar Heels came out the winner in the battle for his commitment.
For Ingram, he may not have taken the jump that he wanted to this past season, with his scoring staying the same as his first year, but new scenery could be what he needs to take the next step. However, with his physicals and his current game, he immediately plugs in well to this lineup and has the potential to greatly improve so this is a huge get for UNC.
His facilitation at his size is also going to be something they can use well, and something this team needed from the wing. Ingram now has a new environment that is still at a premiere program, so there should be a positive outcome for both sides.
