Huffman's Brooks Chapel

After two season coming off the bench in Lexington, the 6-10 power forward got a full release from the Wildcats.While bringing in transfers hasn’t always been Roy Williams’ style (Cam Johnson was the first in several years), it certainly makes sense that the Tar Heels would be interested in Killeya-Jones. He was a five-star recruit out of high school from Chapel Hill whom UNC offered the first time around. He ruled out Carolina in his first recruitment due to the NCAA investigation, and hey, that’s cleared up recently.Whether or not he would come to UNC is still far from certain.

His defense has gotten mixed reviews, but the scouting reports from his college days as opposed to high school have seemed to lean more positive on that front. Those are all things that certainly can get better as someone gets older and more accustomed to college basketball.His freshman year in particular, he put up some solid per...
