Former NC Stat guard officially signs with UNC Basketball
Former NC State guard Matt Able officially signs with UNC basketball.
As North Carolina continues to build their roster for the 2026-27 college basketball season, there are some spots they still need to fill. However, they had a strong start to the transfer portal with some additions to both the frontcourt and backcourt. One of those additions is former NC State guard Matt Able .
He committed to UNC a few weeks back while also entering the NBA Draft process. As Able is set to participate in the scouting combine, he also made it official with North Carolina. On Thursday, he officially signed with the Tar Heels and will join the program if he pulls out of the NBA Draft process.
His stock currently sits as a second-round pick and he's expected to join the Tar Heels after the draft process, barring any major jump in his stock. NC State transfer guard Matt Able has officially signed with North Carolina, @On3 has learned. https://t.
