North Carolina Tar Heels
North Carolina would allow Demary to play for a top program in the ACC. Head Coach Hubert Davis will try adding the talented Georgia guard to his ranks. North Carolina is famous for its strong guard play, and Demary could be the missing piece in its rotation.
Miami Hurricanes
Miami’s new head coach, Jai Lucas, knows he has a lot of work to do, even after adding former Georgia assistant coach Erik Pastrana to his coaching staff this week. The Hurricanes will likely lose guard Jalil Bethea to the portal and view Demary as the best replacement. Miami could be a tempting option for Demary, especially with Pastrana now on their books.
Louisville Cardinals
Louisville’s resurgence has been truly remarkable. Head coach Pat Kelsey has led the team to more success on the hardwood this season than it had in the last season combined. Louisville could do with a player of Demary’s talent if it’s to take the next step in its progress.
Indiana Hoosiers
Demary would be a great guard for Indiana to build the team around. Its new head coach, Darian DeVries, is expected to be supported in recruiting players. Although the program is rebuilding, it remains to be seen if Indiana could appeal to Demary.
