UNC basketball 2026 transfer portal

Thus far we know: Bogavac to Oklahoma State, Dixon to Arizona and Powell to Pitt and we've added G/F Neoklis Avdalas.
Can a player re-enter the portal after successfully transferring from one school to the next - as long as he does it before April 21st? Why or why not?

We know Trimble entered the portal, but came back to UNC. Hypothetically, Could Dixon re-enter the portal before next Tuesday and go elsewhere other than Zona? Or even come back to UNC? Could Neoklis re-enter and go elsewhere? Or even back to Va Tech?

I assume anyone can de-commit just like a high schooler, and they are already "in the portal" so they can transfer elsewhere or withdraw. The only timeline restriction is to enter the portal, not to commit.

All true but I feel like it’s rarer for guys to commit to a new school from the transfer portal and then renege than it is for high schoolers.

Ant no news on portal front, so we’re just tilting at windmills until something falls.

But you’re right- these discussions could take place elsewhere.

Agreed and yes please. I don't need to know random folks' qualitative analyses of the economic sustainability of NIL. I only need to know who will or won't be wearing a Tar Heel jersey next season. That's literally all I give a shit about in this thread.
 
Karter Knox to Louisville... they must have sone damn deep pockets.

Early buzz what that Knox would tag along with Coach Martin from Arky. Guess that was not the case.

Hoping this means our staff felt we had better options available than Knox and we decided to look elsewhere rather than whiffing on a guy who was supposedly ours for the taking.

Something had to happen as we never got him on campus.

Either we weren’t as interested as initially thought or UL had him from the jump.

And UL has gone all-in this year. They’re spending like crazy.
 
Just like recruiting...this is smoke season. I would temper my expectations for their haul this offseason. Could turn out with the right breaks.

I looked at all the ACC schools, we seem to have the most leaving, especially including Mingo not coming. That doesn't make sense for a school with UNCs history.

We have a new coaching staff, and frankly last season’s roster outside of Wilson/Veesaar was not very good by UNC’s standards. Nothing against any of the individual players (except for High; I am pining for an announcement that he’s gone). Turnover in that kind of situation should be expected though and probably a good thing in the long run.

I am starting to tamper my expectations about how we replace all of those guys for next season. Starting to feel like we might have to pivot from some of our initial portal targets.
 
A lot comes down to the Juke decision imo. Not sure what other available players have the scoring upside and are realistic targets

Juke-Neo-Jarin-Henri would be a solid core to build around. From there it’s just adding role players in which you could go a lot of directions

But yeah.. starting from scratch essentially is far from ideal. Bringing in good multi-year players has to be the MO in normal times

This is more like speed dating instead of the wining and dining of recruiting. Or maybe just hooking up in a bar.
 
Must remember Michigan just won it all with a complete roster re-do with 5 portal players. All is not lost just yet.
And agree, the guys we had last season - who are now in the portal weren't all that anyway. Were they? Dixon was serviceable but...

Of course that's easy to say now... somebody probably said as much this time last year when Elliot entered the portal. I know it wasn't me, I hated losing him last year at this time. And who knows? Dixon may become more than "serviceable" next season and I'll then have regrets about him as well. Actually, I already do have regrets about losing him. He was serviceable after all.

Also, there is no guarantee they will get anyone better to replace him. That's why I hated seeing Cadeau leave.

your wish (and mine) is granted - High has announced a commitment to USF
