UNC basketball a big winner on final day of transfer portal

Yahoo Sports

Landing only one transfer through two weeks, the UNC men's basketball team secured three on Tuesday, giving it a much-needed offseason victory.

Tar Heel Nation started growing concerned about the UNC men's basketball team's lack of activity in the transfer portal. On Tuesday, that all changed. North Carolina landed a pair of guards in Utah's Terrence Brown (19.

9 points per game) and NC State's Matt Able , plus an unexpected forward in FAU's Maxim Logue. With the Tar Heel's latest additions, they have a much clearer picture of their 2026-27 roster. Isaiah Denis returned from the portal, giving UNC its likely starting point guard.

Brown will start at shooting guard, while Virginia Tech transfer Neoklis Avdalas will start at power forward. Able likely competes with incoming freshman Maximo Adams for minutes at the wing, while Henri Veesaar still hasn't decided on his future. Logue, a 6'9" sophomore who played a year each with Oregon State and FAU, gives North Carolina versatility off the bench.

The portal closes on Tuesday, but that doesn't mean the Tar Heels are done adding to their roster. UNC is also linked to Wake Forest guard Juke Harris, who averaged over 21. 4 points per game as the best player on a bad team.
