Tar Heel born, bred, and working on that third thing
Days after hearing that former UNC center Henri Veesaar was entering the NBA Draft, Michael Malone has earned a commitment from Northwestern transfer Cade Bennerman. This move adds some depth to Malone’s front court, though it will be a while before we find out what kind of depth Bennerman will be. Bennerman is a 7-foot […]
The top-seeded Carolina women’s lacrosse team overcame a strong effort from second-seeded Stanford to repeat as ACC Tournament champions with a 12-8 win on Sunday. The Cardinal (15-4) scored the first two goals of the game before the Tar Heels (16-1) rattled off four straight to take a lead they wouldn’t relinquish. UNC led 4-3 […]
On Friday, Henri Veesaar officially entered the NBA Draft, and though the door is slightly open for a return, that is highly unlikely. I want to thank the big man for his one season and for giving us his all and in return we gave him the chance to showcase his full skills and now […]
UNC’s recent basketball roster proves this point: US college sports has become a pro league with a global supply of talent. Last season, we had Luka Bogovac of Montenegro, Henri Veesaar of Estonia, and while you may have missed him, Ivan Matlekovic of Croatia. This season, we already have two players from abroad on the […]
The third-ranked Carolina men’s lacrosse team ended the regular season on a sour note with a 16-12 loss to #17 Duke on Saturday. The Tar Heels (11-3, 2-2 ACC) didn’t get on the scoreboard until almost 13 minutes into the game, at which point the Blue Devils (9-4, 1-3) had climbed out to a 4-0 […]
We are now far enough into the college baseball season that we’re not that far away from starting to seriously start thinking about seeds and hosting for the NCAA Tournament. North Carolina is in pretty good position on that front, especially having won a series last weekend over Georgia Tech, with both teams ranked #2 […]
UNC basketball made waves in the transfer portal on Tuesday, signing a pair of highly sought after guards. Terrence Brown had long been rumored to be a top target for the Heels, but UNC had stiff competition in wooing him to North Carolina from Kansas and Kentucky. Matt Able also committed, jumping from N.C. State […]
Earlier this week, UNC held their annual Rammy Awards to honor the best in Tar Heel sports from the past year. While some spring sports are still going on, the “school year” is genuinely coming to an end, and with many athletes set to graduate and/or head into the professional ranks in their various sports, […]
Today it was announced that Henri Veesaar is officially going into the NBA Draft. Per Matt Norlander, Veesaar intends to stay in the draft, with no intent to return to UNC. When Veesaar transferred to UNC last spring, observers saw the potential for a break-out season. Coming off the bench for Tommy Lloyd in Tucson, […]
Caleb Wilson hasn’t gotten to go through the NBA Draft combine yet, but there’s already a lot of buzz that he could be drafted top three overall. What wasn’t expected, however, is Yahoo Sports projecting that he could go higher than that. In their latest mock draft, they have Wilson being picked second overall by […]

As Caleb Wilson finishes is way-too-short time as member of the University of North Carolina basketball team, he said good-bye to campus this week in an epic way. There are a lot of things wrong with college sports in general right now, but one of the things that’s still right is these shining stars are […]
The wagon keeps on rolling for the second-ranked Diamond Heels, who followed up a huge series win against Georgia Tech by dispatching a legitimately decent High Point team. Up next is a rivalry matchup at Duke, who’s sporting a new look this year after Chris Pollard’s departure for Virginia, and the Heels will look to […]
The NFL Draft starts tonight, and with that we conclude our series looking at special teams and coaches. A quick reminder of the rules: 1. All players had to be drafted from the one of the 17 ACC football schools (Notre Dame is ineligible). 2. The player just has to be drafted from the school, […]
Before the college football season began, it was widely expected that cornerback Thaddeus Dixon, brought to Chapel Hill by Steve Belichick from Washington, was going to be UNC’s best player on defense if not the Tar Heels’ best overall player. For about three weeks, that looked to be the case, as he recorded 3 PBUs […]
Six days after beating Duke to cap off the regular season, the top-seeded Carolina women’s lacrosse team handed the eighth-seeded Blue Devils a 15-11 loss in the quarterfinals of the ACC Tournament on Wednesday. Unlike the first matchup, in which UNC had to overcome a halftime deficit, the Tar Heels built a 7-4 lead at […]
Two years ago, Carolina fans we were eagerly perched in front of our TVs/streaming devices to see where Drake Maye would be drafted, knowing it was likely going to be a short night for the homegrown product. Sure enough, we saw him go to New England, and just this year he helped lead them to […]
We continue with our All-ACC NFL team today, this time taking a look at the defense. As I mentioned yesterday, the defense will be based on a nickel package and consist of two edge, two interior defensive linemen, two linebackers, and five defensive backs. Each section will have starters and a backup and since this […]
Yesterday was a busy day for Carolina basketball news to say the least. After things going quiet on the transfer portal front, suddenly the Heels landed three commitments in the same day. There was also some information that came out regarding Henri Veesaar that isn’t really new information, but it does solidify that he has […]
Yesterday was a busy day for UNC basketball. Michael Malone had three players publicly commit to come to Chapel Hill next year in roughly an eight-hour span. First, Utah point guard Terrence Brown chose UNC over fellow blueblood contenders Kansas and Kentucky. Shortly afterwards, N.C. State freshman guard Matt Able chose to play at UNC […]
Three transfer portal players have committed to UNC today with the latest being Florida Atlantic big man Maxim Logue. Logue competed internationally in his home country of France before spending the last two season at FAU. The 6’9” post player came off the bench for the Owls last season where he averaged just under five […]
Shooting guard Matt Able has committed to UNC. The transfer from NC State joins Terrence Brown, Neoklis Avdalas, Maximo Adams, Jarin Stevenson, Jaydon Young, Isaiah Denis, and Malloy Smith on UNC’s 2026 roster. The 6’6” 205 lb rising sophomore impressed ACC observers last season with an excellent, well-rounded floor game. Many think Able is primed […]
At the end of the NFL season, all kinds of All-something teams are released, and even though the NFL season ended over two months ago, this is the NFL Draft week. With that in mind, I have compiled an All-ACC NFL team. A couple of quick rules about the team: 1. All players had to […]
Over the weekend, North Carolina baseball welcomed Georgia Tech to the Bosh for probably their biggest series of the season so far. At least according to D1Baseball.com, the two teams were ranked #2 and #3 in the country, with the Yellow Jackets holding the slight edge there. Any way you break it down, the series […]
UNC and Michael Malone have made another splash in the transfer portal. Point guard Terrence Brown committed to the Tar Heels this morning, a week after the conclusion of his two day visit to Chapel Hill. The guard picture for next season shifted last week with the news that Derek Dixon committed to Arizona and […]
