TarHeelIllustrated - UNC’s Defensive Needs from the Portal?

A week into the portal being open, we have a better idea of what are UNC's needs, so here we dive into it.

I'm not sure what happened to Hardy, but it seems like he is a candidate for one of the safety spots, and therefore i'm putting a premium on recruiting safety.

People talk about Boykins every preseason but he's not great in coverage. So i'm also recruiting nickelback really hard.

Is there any LB depth behind Power/Amare yet? Is Amare fast and rangy enough to replace Gray?

Since Murphy is gone and Tomari graduates i'm going after the best DT i can find.

Is Rucker back? If not, insert a DE please.

How many total will we wind up taking? I think we need 2 OL + Max Johnson, plus at least 3 defenders, and it sounds like we want from for Johnson's TE bro.

Johnson's TE brother has more upside than he does,. I think Max can be along time NFL QB, but primarily as a back up. His brother could become a starting TE for years.
