The 2024-25 UNC basketball season is in the books, and with that, it's time for our player season reviews for the campaign.
We're continuing our review with guard Seth Trimble, who split his junior year between a starting role and the Tar Heels' sixth man. Though Trimble is easily a starting-caliber player, he proved to be more effective off the bench later in the year, acting as a key cog in North Carolina's run to an NCAA Tournament berth.
Trimble elevated his offensive game big-time, adding dunks and a more consistent jumper to his arsenal. Trimble's most underestimated skill is his rebounding ability, as he led UNC in boards before Ven-Allen Lubin's late-season ascension.
Trimble almost left Chapel Hill during the 2024 offseason, but quickly removed himself from the transfer portal. I like to think without Trimble, the Tar Heels don't play in the NCAA Tournament this year.
Trimble prides himself on wearing that North Carolina uniform – and he is a vocal leader. With RJ Davis gone, Trimble will be the guy for UNC in the fall.
2024-25 stats: 11.6 points, 5 rebounds, 1.4 steals, 1.3 assists per game, 42.8 percent field goal shooting in 34 games (18 starts)
Trimble's return was much-needed for the Tar Heels, which entered their 2024-2025 campaign with a much younger, more inexperienced – albeit talented – roster.
When North Carolina rolled with a 4-guard lineup early in the season, Trimble was the team's best rebounder. Trimble could take over ball-handling duties from Davis and Elliot Cadeau, spot up on the perimeter or drive the basket.
Trimble could give UNC 10 points on any given night, or space the floor and keep opponents guessing. There were plenty of strong performance for Trimble during his junior year, but his best game came during a 102-96 overtime win over Boston College in January, when he scored 18 points and grabbed 12 rebounds.
With RJ out of eligibility and Elliot Cadeau gone, I fully expect Trimble to come back and run the Tar Heels offense in the fall. Trimble will end his senior season as North Carolina's leading scorer – and create some NBA Draft hype for himself in the process.
We know that Trimble will get to play alongside incoming 5-star power forward Caleb Wilson, who is one of Hubert Davis' greatest recruiting victories as UNC's head coach, plus incoming 4-star combo guards Derek Dixon and Isaiah Denis.
Will Trimble etch himself in Tar Heel lore during the 2025-2026 college basketball season? Stay tuned.
