But North Carolina\u2019s Seth Trimble just dropped a comment that suggests Hubert Davis might have found something special with this rebuilt squad.<\/p>\n<p>    What Did Seth Trimble Say About UNC\u2019s Team Chemistry?<\/p>\n<p>In a press conference uploaded on <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/wrZfasvJEvw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow noreferrer\">UNC\u2019s official YouTube channel,<\/a> the senior guard made a telling comment about how this rebuilt roster is coming together.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYeah, I mean, our team, we came together and gelled super super quick. I mean, say maybe the first couple weeks max things were like, all right, you know, the guy these guys are still strangers, this and that. But I\u2019d say max maybe 14 days, maybe even 10 days. I mean, we came together really really quickly. Uh, we bonded, we gelled quickly, and and it carried to on the court, too,\u201d Trimble said.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s huge news considering where this program was just months ago. Last season was disappointing in key moments for the Tar Heels. They made the NCAA tournament but got bounced in the first round, leaving Davis scrambling to rebuild almost the entire roster.<\/p>\n<p>As UNC\u2019s primary returning starter, Trimble has seen plenty of different team dynamics over four years. When he talks about how fast this group clicked, it means something. The bonding isn\u2019t just happening during practice either \u2013 Trimble said the team hangs out off the court all the time.<\/p>\n<p>Davis pieced together quite a roster this offseason:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Transfers:<\/strong> Colorado State\u2019s Kyan Evans, Arizona\u2019s Henri Veesaar, West Virginia\u2019s Jonathan Powell, Alabama\u2019s Jarin Stevenson, Virginia Tech\u2019s Jaydon Young, and High Point\u2019s Ivan Matlekovic<\/li>\n<li><strong>Freshmen:<\/strong> Derek Dixon from DC, Isaiah Denis from Charlotte, and five-star Caleb Wilson from Georgia<\/li>\n<li><strong>International:<\/strong> Luka Bogavac from Montenegro<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>That\u2019s a total of 10 new players who barely knew each other.<\/p>\n<p>Why This Chemistry Matters<\/p>\n<p>Isaac Schade of the <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/x4LspG9I99U\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow noreferrer\">Locked on Tar Heels podcast<\/a> thinks Trimble\u2019s comments are significant.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSeth Trimble, who said those words, has been around how many? So many teams. And this tells me everyone is coming together for a joint purpose, for a shared goal,\u201d Schade noted.<\/p>\n<p>He then talked about how chemistry failures derail programs for entire seasons.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd don\u2019t take that for granted because not every team has that. I think that is part of the DNA of what broke things down three seasons ago when Carolina went from preseason No. 1 to not making the NCAA tournament,\u201d Schade said.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>Chemistry problems usually take months to sort out with this much roster turnover. If Trimble\u2019s right about his teammates bonding this quickly, UNC might have its best asset locked down before the season even tips off.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"When you flip 11 of 16 roster spots, team chemistry usually becomes a season-long project.
