According to reports, North Carolina has contacted Memphis transfer guard Curtis Givens III as it looks to rebuild its backcourt this offseason.
If there are any guarantees this offseason, North Carolina has to rebuild its backcourt. The Tar Heels have lost most of their production from last season, either due to graduation (Seth Trimble) or the transfer portal ( Luka Bogavac , Derek Dixon and Jonathan Powell ). Because of this, UNC has reached out to multiple players, including Terrence Brown and Juke Harris.
Now we can add another to the list. Curtis Givens III of Memphis has been in contact with the Tar Heels as well, according to Sam Kayser of League Ready . He has also received interest from Boston College, Georgetown, Georgia Tech, McNeese State, NC State, Ohio State , Ole Miss and USC .
