How far has UNC Football fallen?
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 […]
ACC Football: All-ACC NFL Defense
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 […]
UNC Basketball Transfer Portal Tracker: Week 3
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 […]
What do you think of the trio of players that committed to UNC yesterday?
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 […]
Florida Atlantic transfer Maxim Logue commits to 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 […]
NC State transfer Matt Able commits to UNC
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 […]
ACC Football: All-ACC NFL Offense
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 […]
UNC Baseball: Tar Heels win massive series over Georgia Tech
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 […]
Utah transfer Terrence Brown commits to UNC
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 […]
Should college players be granted a fifth year of eligibility?
The NCAA is at it again — they are currently weighing new eligibility rules that would allow student-athletes five years of eligibility. Should this be written into “law,” UNC’s Seth Trimble could return to Chapel Hill for a fifth year of college basketball. In fact, he entered the transfer portal on Monday afternoon with a […]
Seth Trimble Shows Out at the Portsmouth Invitational
The rare player who stayed four years and graduated, Seth Trimble now starts to explore next steps in his basketball career. Injuries hampered Seth’s senior season in multiple ways, sidelining him for nine games with a broken left forearm suffered in the weight room. Injury sidelined the team’s most important player, Caleb Wilson, for the […]
Should Veesaar Stay or Should He Go Now?
Henri Veesaar had a season for UNC that few saw coming. Veesaar elevated his three-point percentage in his senior season from 32.7% to 42.6%, posting an effective field goal percentage of .677. For the season, Henri averaged 17 points, 8.7 boards, and 2.1 assists, using his time in Chapel Hill to elevate his status from […]
UNC men’s lacrosse beats Virginia in OT
Senior James Matan scooped up a rebound right in front of the Virginia goal and buried it to give the third-ranked Carolina men’s lacrosse team a 16-15 overtime win in Charlottesville on Saturday. The win keeps the Tar Heels (11-2, 2-1 ACC) in contention for a share of the conference title heading into their regular […]
Who is your UNC recruiting “white whale?”
On the basketball side of things, we’re still very much in transfer portal season. With Michael Malone taking charge of the men’s team, next year’s UNC roster is still taking shape. Over the past couple weeks, we’ve been hearing about the transfers they’re interested in, including landing Neoklis Avdalas. However, it’s inevitable that as the […]
Isaiah Denis withdraws from NCAA transfer portal
Combo guard and rising sophomore Isaiah Denis will be a Tar Heel next season. Denis came to UNC as a consensus 4-star prospect, rated the 60th player overall nationally and third in the state of North Carolina by ESPN. Denis held offers from Michigan, Kansas, Tennessee, Ohio State, and Miami, among others. Denis apparently reaggravated […]
UNC Basketball: Would you rather…?
Have you ever played the game “Would you Rather?” Basically, someone gives you two options, neither one is inherently better or worse than the other but each comes with its own set of pros and cons. For instance, would you rather have super strength but be incredibly stupid or would you rather be super intelligent […]
UNC women’s lacrosse blows past Duke in regular season finale
The top-ranked Carolina women’s lacrosse team (13-1, 10-0 ACC) capped off the regular season with an 11-5 win at #20 Duke (9-7, 5-5) Thursday night, overcoming a slow start with a dominant second half. The Tar Heels trailed 5-3 at halftime but outscored the Blue Devils 8-0 in the third and fourth quarters. Sophomore goalie […]
The national perception of UNC’s Michael Malone is impressive so far
Earlier this week, CBS Eye on College Basketball reviewed the college basketball landscape and spent some time discussing UNC’s hiring of Michael Malone and their first impressions. Gary Parrish has covered college basketball since 2002, working with CBS since 2006. Matt Norlander enters his 16th season covering college basketball for CBS Sports, as well as […]
UNC Baseball set to host massive series against Georgia Tech
While the ACC consistently fights with the SEC to be recognized as the best baseball conference, the unwieldy size of the conference means that unlike in other sports, some of the top teams don’t face each other during the season. Carolina only had ten conference matchups this year, and they’ve already faced off against ranked […]
UNC Basketball Transfer Portal Tracker: Week 2
Ah, life in the portal, where a week can feel like a month with the amount of movement that can happen in such a short period of time. When we last did this exercise, Michael Malone had just been hired as coach, about half the team had entered the portal, and Luka Bogavac was staying […]
New details emerge from the UNC and Dylan Mingo separation
It was announced earlier this week that UNC decided to part ways with five-star 2026 combo guard Dylan Mingo. There was a lot of curiosity when it came to the wording in the reports, and people also wondered what it was that caused both sides to move on. We now have a bit more information […]
Has Coby White with the Hornets made you care about the NBA?
I’m raising my hand — I’m one of those folks. I’m a firm believer in the idea that a person only has so much capacity in terms of what they can enjoy. For me, UNC sports come first and the problem is that includes a passion for UNC basketball with both the men and women’s […]
Coby White went nuclear for the Charlotte Hornets in last night’s Play-In Game
The Charlotte Hornets swinging a trade-deadline deal with the Chicago Bulls to bring Coby White back to his home state was immediately both an obviously great basketball move and a feel-good story, doubly so for those of us who are UNC fans. White, who of course spent one memorable year at UNC in 2019, added […]
How are we feeling about the UNC Basketball staff?
Monday was a really newsy day for Carolina Basketball. Mostly the news was between the incoming and outgoing pieces in the transfer portal, as well as former Hubert Davis recruits who new coach Michael Malone has decided he no longer needs. Lost in all of this was a little nugget about the final member of […]
UNC Basketball: A Tar Heel-centric NBA Playoffs preview
Later tonight, the NBA Playoffs are set to begin. Well, somewhat. Tonight starts the Play-In Tournament that decides the final teams to make the playoffs, but either way, the march towards the NBA Finals begins over the next couple days. While UNC’s lack of a former player being a leading player on a championship-contending team […]
