UNC basketball 2026 transfer portal

He didn’t really announce. Andrew Jones just asked him a question and he said he was planning on coming back. But that was before his meeting with Malone.

It doesn’t take a lot of tea leaves reading to realize that Malone told him that he was not in the plans for next year.
i think he was up for a huge salary(and likely role) reduction.
 
Probably so. I think as a fan it isn't as special anymore because you don't have players you can follow on Carolina for at least a couple of years. Trimble might be the last four year player they ever have.
Definitely true. We were lucky to get to live through the best era.

Been thinking that Malone actually has a pretty amazing way to sell Carolina (more than the whole NBA championship thing).

How many other coaches can truthfully relate to a parent who is looking at a school with their kid? And same for the recruit, MM can legitimately say his kid just made the same decision and picked UNC.

The Malone family had a kid with her pick of many elite athletic/academic institutions and they chose Carolina. MM himself stated part of reason he took the job is how much they loved it when they were here.

I get that $ talks in this era, more than any other. But assuming we can be on equal footing for a given player on that, i just think MM has a chance to be a beast of a recruiter, and frankly that was one of my biggest initial concerns with his hiring.
 


“… the last two seasons alone, or take a risk going to UNC with somebody who’s never coached in college before, for an extra mil(?)“


Dude … an extra mil? I doubt it but c’mon.
