Inside Carolina: A UNC athletics podcast

Just as the fireworks from July 4th finish up, the UNC Basketball staff seeks to ignite their 2027 and 2028 recruiting classes as they hit the trail for the summer evaluation periods. Sean Moran joins live from Vegas where the AAU world is centered currently, and Sherrell McMillan previews what he'll be watching next week at Adidas's event and Peach Jam. 

Finally, the guys analyze why Angelo Brizzi's value to the program may be higher than his stats suggest. 

The Coast to Coast is delivered by Salvio's Pizzeria.

North Carolina's tight end room was sorely misused last season, but under new offensive coordinator Bobby Petrino, this year's group should improve and could potentially - according to Inside Carolina's football analyst Jason Staples - be the best unit on the offensive side of the ball this season.

Staples joins host Tommy Ashley for his list of superlatives among a talented group of Jelanie Thurman, Jordan Washington, Shamar Easter and Jaxxon Warren.

The position of Athletic Director has played a key role in the University of North Carolina's pursuit of athletic excellence across 28 sports. Bubba Cunningham's tenure at Carolina's helm spanned a years long NCAA investigation where his leadership and experience resulted in a successful challenge to the NCAA's purview in the area of academics and a continued run of success on the field for many of Tar Heel teams.

Inside Carolina senior reporter Greg Barnes joins Tommy Ashley for a look into Cunningham's legacy and his impact in Chapel Hill over the course of the past 15 years.

North Carolina's running back room has Tar Heels veterans - Benjamin Hall is in his second year after transferring in from Michigan - and a potential big timer in Kaleb Jackson from LSU, but will need to step up as a group in 2026 for UNC's offense to produce as expected under new offensive coordinator Bobby Petrino.

Bill Belichick's hiring of Petrino has many followers and supporters excited about the potential with the running backs and Inside Carolina's football analyst Jason Staples breaks down the superlatives of the room among Hall, Jackson, Jaylen McGill, Demon June and Charleston French with host Tommy Ashley.

Father's Day is often used as an acceptable square on the calendar for the Coast to Coast guys to evaluate offseason movement and roster updates. Nearly three months into the entirely new MIchael Malone regime, there's plenty to assess long before the North Carolina Tar Heels play a game.

Sean Moran and Sherrell McMillan join Joey Powell to recap roster additions, recruiting updates, and player Chapel Hill arrivals, plus much more on UNC basketball.
