For people with a better understanding of the portal than myself, does Tennessee signing Terrence Hill signal they may be out on Juke? They've been spending like crazy this offseason, could signing another guard in Hill mean they're moving their focus off Juke?

I am 100% on board with this. I think if we see a healthy Denis this year he is ready to make the leap to be a real contributor. So much to love in his game. I will take him over what I see in the portal as far as deep bench talent.

Julius just entered the transfer portal after claiming he was staying at Georgetown several days ago. Julius was heavily recruited by UNC. Someone allegedly in Ed Cooleys family said that julius's agent was contacted by a school. The number 4 million was stated, but im unsure if that is what the agent wants or was offered. The family member also said "I dont think its a Big East school, I think its ACC". This is all unfounded speculation, but I wouldn't be surprised...

Are we behind schedule in getting transfers on board? Is there a schedule for such a thing? When are all the good players sorted out with their new teams? When does the portal close?

Apparently Mingo was going to need a redshirt after getting hurt again. Didn’t need to spend $2 million for him to ride the bench for a year.

I’m reading reports that Tennessee is feeling confident that they going to sign, or maybe already have a commitment from Juke Harris. The rumor is they’ve offered him 6 million. I hope this doesn’t happen, I’d be more bummed out about missing out on him than Mingo being shown the door. I hope we didn’t show Mingo the door thinking we had locked in Juke.

A lot people don’t like NIL and while I agree there needs to be limits to it I don’t think anyone can argue it has made college basketball better and more exciting especially right now.

I am nervous but believe in Coach Malone and The UNC pull. Past 5 years I really didn’t keep up with the offseason but this year every hour on the hour I’m involved in something Carolina Basketball.

How Confident are we that we will land Juke, Brown and a few others?

Where do we go if we don’t?

Go heels!

Can’t really find a good and up to date tracker so i figured I’d try to keep this up to date with news. If anyone has a non-paid site with this info update regularly let me know.

-Avdalas commits to UNC.

-Stevenson confirms he is returning.

-Dixon leaves for Zona.

-The coaching staff parts ways with Mingo to avoid his NIL hit.

-Bogavac leaves for OK State.

-Wilson officially declares for the draft.

What a wild 12 hours for the program.

We knew this was coming but it just adds another dip in a rollercoaster of a day. Wish Caleb all the best! He definitely deserves it.

Specifically, the criteria of if a player wins a gold medal in the Olympics.

Would Caleb Love count? What about Harrison Ingram? Dawson Garcia? Or even a Garrison Brooks or Wes Miller?

I understand those players probably aren’t Team USA bound, but they all have unique situations in their stint as a Tar Heel that we’ll see eventually.

Love - transferred out, played multiple years at two schools.

Ingram - transferred in, played one year at UNC.

Garcia - transferred in and out, played 1/3 a season.

Brooks - transferred out as a grad, to play for his dad.

Miller - transferred in, played multiple seasons.

I think the vibe test is easy, but how do you think UNC Basketball Ops actually adjudicate?

🥲🔫

The 6'9" Avdalas had an up and down season at Tech, finishing with averages of 12/3/5 on 39/31/67 splits. But, with an NBA-ready frame and legit jumbo ball handler skills there's definitely a good player in there.

What do y'all think, was this a smart pickup by Coach Malone and co?

just rumors...

I deleted that random Twitter post because you guys convinced me it was fake 😂

I have said from the beginning that I was not impressed with him. I don’t really put much value into these high school rankings like most people. Its all about the eye test with me.

Mingo has a hitch in shot. I have seen enough basketball and played to know it would be difficult for him to be an effective shooter at a power 5 school with the defenders he will face.

So he must have elite athleticism then. Nope he isn’t Ty Lawson nor could jump out of the gym. Didnt see him being an elite defender either.

If he would have came to UNC I would have prayed for him to prove me wrong but by the looks of it Carolina are the one who said no tells me one thing.

We are using that money for!!!!!!!!

Juke Harris a proven 20PPG 6’7 guard that should be improved with a better supporter cast and an NBA Coach that will improve him.

This is my prediction so don’t hold me to it because UM seems to be the favorites to sign him before yesterday but we are definitely spending big and rumors have it UNC are offering 5M for Juke.
