UNC Basketball’s Returners - Rob’s Summer Series | Inside Carolina | College Basketball

Rob Harrington, Tommy Ashley — Tue, 12 May 2026 19:00:00 GMT

Inside Carolina basketball analyst Rob Harrington joins Tommy Ashley to discuss the returners for Carolina Basketball, Isaiah Denis, Jaydon Young, and Jarin Stevenson and the importance of having some semblance of a core year over year within a college program, especially in a coaching transition. Denis, a versatile defender, is seen as a potential asset despite limited playing time last year. Young, with ACC experience at UNC at Virginia Tech, brings athleticism and shooting. Stevenson will be expected to start. Harrington and Ashley discuss the possibility of a senior year breakout for Stevenson - akin to Kennedy Meeks and Brice Johnson - and what that could look like under new head coach Michael Malone.

The conversation also touches on the impact of the new coaching staff, led by Malone, and the importance of continuity with holdover coaches in Sean May and Pat Sullivan along with Eric Hoots.

This show is part of a series over the course of the next several months where Harrington and Ashley discuss key aspects of Carolina's program under Malone and how the shape of the roster and coaching staff will impact the direction of the program both this upcoming season and beyond.

Can Congress Save College Sports? - IC Daily | Inside Carolina | College Basketball/Football

Greg Barnes, Tommy Ashley — Tue, 12 May 2026 12:00:00 GMT

Inside Carolina senior reporter Greg Barnes joins Tommy Ashley to discuss a draft from the Presidential College Sports Reform Committee, aiming to stabilize the NCAA amidst changes from NIL, Rev Share and other seismic shifts in the college landscape over the past several years.

The proposal creates a two-year task force exempt from antitrust laws to set rules, including eligibility and enforcement policies. Key points include the Bird rule for retaining players at one school, support for Olympic sports, and media rights consolidation.

Barnes criticizes the NCAA's past restrictions on student-athletes and expresses cautious optimism about the proposal's potential to reform college sports while Ashley is skeptical that Congress can come together to act quickly and effectively enough to save the college sports world as known over the years.

As North Carolina's 2026-27 roster continues to take shape, Inside Carolina's senior reporter Greg Barnes joins Tommy Ashley to discuss how Carolina's potential lineup remains a bit in flux due to the latest NBA draft talk around transfer signee Matt Able. How do draft projections affect fan angst given the deadlines and timelines that are built to benefit the professional leagues versus the college game?

Barnes and Ashley also discuss how the NIL era can and will affect the narrative around how schools leverage their former player success in the draft and on the court in the NBA and as Barnes points out, what matters more? Draft picks or actual production on the court at the next level?

What is UNC Basketball's Goal? - IC Daily | Inside Carolina Analysis | College Basketball

Greg Barnes, Tommy Ashley — Fri, 08 May 2026 14:29:13 GMT

NCAA Tournament expansion remains a hot topic across the college basketball landscape as the bar for entry into March Madness has dropped significantly with the addition of more teams. While that debate rages on, North Carolina's regular season slate for '26-27 remains a work in progress as the current lineup of opponents has only one potential marquee matchup.

Inside Carolina's Greg Barnes joins Tommy Ashley to discuss how the tournament expansion could affect scheduling for the Tar Heels and what the goals in that regard, should be going forward for a UNC program looking to get back to prominence in the Michael Malone era.

They also discuss the necessity of high-profile games for fan interest and revenue generation, noting that the ACC's viewership metrics influence media money. Finally, Barnes and Ashley debate a strategy to balance competitive scheduling with postseason success going forward.
