Carolina’s 2023-24 roster is signed, sealed and delivered.

To replace the nine departures via graduation or the transfer portal, Carolina confirmed the official signings of Harrison Ingram, Cormac Ryan, Jae’Lyn Withers and Paxson Wojcik, who combined for 1,424 points, 683 rebounds and 312 assists in more than 3,700 minutes of collegiate action last season.

Also coming are two high school seniors who signed last November, combo guard Simeon Wilcher and power forward Zayden High, plus of course the recent reclassifying point guard Elliot Cadeau, who we will talk about tomorrow.

Ingram, a 6-7 forward from Dallas, totaled 682 points, 405 rebounds and 218 assists in two seasons at Stanford. He was the 2022 Pac-12 Freshman of the Year, when he won conference freshman-of-the-week six times.

He started 62 of 65 games, scoring in double figures 37 times, including his last 10 games, when he averaged almost 13 points. He scored a career-high 24 points against Ole Miss last season and 21 in a win over fifth-ranked USC as a freshman. He made three 3-pointers in both of his 20-point games.

“I love Harrison’s elite versatility on both ends of the floor,” Hubert Davis said. “He’s a great passer, playmaker and scorer with size. He is a great leader and teammate who has a burning desire to win. We initially recruited him in high school and are glad he’s a Tar Heel.”

Withers, a 6-9 forward, made 64 starts in 81 games the past three seasons at Louisville, where he averaged 8.0 points and 5.6 rebounds. Originally from Charlotte, Withers went to North Mecklenburg High School for three years before finishing at Cleveland Heights High School in Ohio.

After redshirting at Louisville in 2019-20, he earned All-ACC Freshman honors the following season, averaging 10.1 points and 7.7 rebounds and led the Cardinals in field goal shooting at 55.1%. He was third in the conference in offensive rebounding percentage and seventh in total rebounds per game.

Withers scored in double figures 30 times with a career-best 20 vs. Prairie View and Notre Dame, grabbed a career-high 13 rebounds twice with five double-doubles in points and rebounds. Last season, he averaged 8.9 points and 5.3 rebounds and made 41.7% from 3-point range (40 of 96), including a career-best four 3-pointers three times.

“Jae’Lyn can consistently make 3-pointers, run the floor, post up, attack the offense and create plays off the bounce,” Davis said. “He is also an excellent defender and rebounder, exactly what we were looking for at that position.”

Tomorrow, I will talk about transfer guards Ryan and Wojcik and, of course, the ballyhooed 19-year-old point guard Cadeau, a true 5-star recruit.
