North Carolina<\/strong><\/a> basketball is hiring long time sports agent Jim Tanner<\/strong> as its new general manager, according to a report from Inside Carolina<\/em>.<\/a><\/p>\n

Tanner is a 1990 graduate of North Carolina and is a native of High Point (N.C.). He attended the university on the prestigious Morehead-Cain scholarship.<\/p>\n

North Carolina was bound to hire a GM, as head coach Hubert Davis teased this month. It ended up being Tanner.<\/p>\n

\u201cYes, we\u2019re going to hire a GM,\u201d Davis said. \u201cWe need a director of marketing and fundraising for NIL, for program needs\u2026\u00a0The old model for Carolina basketball just doesn\u2019t work, it\u2019s not sustainable. It has to build out because there\u2019s so many things in play with NIL, the transfer portal, agents, international players. <\/p>\n

\u201cYou just need a bigger staff to be able to maintain things, and you need a bigger staff so I can do what I\u2019m supposed to be doing, (which) is coaching basketball.\u201d<\/p>\n

Jim Tanner hired as UNC GM<\/h2>\n

Tanner has a list of clients in the NBA that include Memphis Grizzlies guard Desmond Bane, San Antonio Spurs forward Jeremy Sochan, New Jersey Nets guard Cam Thomas, and Cleveland Cavaliers forward Jarrett Allen. <\/p>\n

The Hall of Famer is on Tanner\u2019s resume as well with clients such as Ray Allen, Grant Hill, Tim Duncan, Nikki McCray-Penson, and Tamika Catchings, as well as Ja Morant, Thad Young, Serge Ibaka, Jeremy Lin, Josh Childress, Shane Battier, Jason Richardson, and Dominque Wilkins.<\/p>\n

Tanner founded \u201cTandem,\u201d his full-time service agency. He assists clients with reaching their on and off the court goals, which includes contract negotiations.<\/p>\n

In this current college athletics climate, a guy like Tanner could prove to be a difference maker for a major university.<\/p>\n
