Hubert Davis and the Tar Heels will try to strengthen the North Carolina basketball roster via the college basketball transfer portal this offseason. The Tar Heels suffered a loss against Ole Miss in the first round of the 2025 NCAA Tournament bracket after posting a 13-7 record in ACC play. The Tar Heels were a No. 1 seed in the 2024 NCAA Tournament, so Davis will look for the right players to bolster the North Carolina basketball lineup ahead of next season. The portal opened on March 24 and will remain open until April 22. Which college basketball transfers are the Tar Heels targeting?

North Carolina basketball roster news

The Tar Heels' coaching staff has already landed two coveted players via the transfer portal. West Virginia transfer guard Jonathan Powell was the first portal commitment this offseason and made the decision without visiting campus. Powell played a major role for the Mountaineers in his freshman season, averaging 8.3 points and 3.1 rebounds across 30.1 minutes of action. He finished second in the Big 12 in 3-pointers made by a freshman (62), shooting 35.2% on the season.

UNC also got a commitment from Arizona transfer Henri Veesaar. The 7-footer averaged 9.4 points, 5.0 rebounds and 1.3 assists, while knocking down 59.2% of his field goals last season. He was even more effective finishing around the basket, connecting on 76% of his shot attempts at the rim. Veesaar was ranked the No. 36 player in the 2022 class by 247Sports and has two years of eligibility remaining. Get the latest North Carolina basketball roster news from InsideCarolina.
