GoHeels.com When Hubert Davis met with the media on Friday afternoon, he confirmed that Henri Veesaar would be a limited participant in practice, and that he was officially questionable for Saturday’s game at Syracuse. This evening, the availability report for tomorrow’s game was officially released, and that’s exactly how Veesaar is listed, as the big man from Estonia will look to play for the first time since the loss to Miami nearly 11 days ago. Carolina has gone 1-1 witho

Grant Halverson- Getty Images For the first time since his firing late in the 2024 regular season, the Tar Heels will be honoring former football head coach Mack Brown. On Thursday, the Tar Heels' athletic department revealed that they will be welcoming Brown and his wife, Sally, back for the basketball team’s game with the Louisville Cardinals on Monday. Brown, who is the all-time leader in victories by a football coach at UNC, was fired back in the fall of 2024 following an

@justice.hardy5- Instagram The class of 2027 is in the midst of setting their official visits for this summer and the Tar Heels continue to receive news of who will be one campus for them during that time. One of the recent players to set his official trip to Chapel Hill is one of their top running back targets out of the Keystone state. As he announced via social media on Wednesday afternoon, 2027 RB Justice Hardy has set his official visit to UNC for June 19th-21st. He also

@ballout79_- Instagram The 2027 class has hit the point in the offseason where they are beginning to schedule official visits and on Tuesday, the Tar Heels received the news that one of their recent offers on the offensive line will be officially visiting this summer.

He has also scheduled official visits to Florida (May 28th-30th) and Georgia (June 12th-14th), two of the other early contenders in his recru

ESPN It was a disappointing night for Carolina Basketball on Tuesday, as the Tar Heels went to Raleigh and lost to NC State 82-58, in a game that wasn’t even that close if we’re being honest. Now the Tar Heels were once again without Caleb Wilson and Henri Veesaar, but that’s no excuse for the lack of fight, which drew the ire of Hubert Davis in the postgame press conferences. Carolina was able to mask not having their top two scorers on Saturday against Pitt, scoring 79 poin

Despite Hubert Davis stating yesterday that Henri Veesaar had made a serious jump in terms of his health after missing Saturday’s game against Pittsburgh, the UNC big man will not be available for tonight’s game at NC State, a Quad 1 contest, which is the only scheduled matchup of the season between the two programs. That means Carolina will look for big contributions once again from both Jarin Stevenson and Zayden High against a smaller Wolfpack squad. In the win on Saturday

@cbfw.fatt- Instagram With the 2026 class now in the books, the attention has turned to the 2027 class which is in the process of scheduling official visits. On Monday, the Tar Heels received the news that one of their top running back targets will be on campus this summer. As he announced via social media on Monday evening, 2027 3✮ RB Jeremiah Dent will be taking his official visit to Chapel Hill June 5th-7th.

@UNC_Basketball It’s game day for Carolina Basketball, as they are set for the first of two road games this week, with a trip to Raleigh tonight, followed by a road game at Syracuse on Saturday. Carolina won on Saturday at home against Pittsburgh, 79-65, in a game that UNC was without Caleb Wilson and Henri Veesaar. In the absence of their top two scorers and rebounders, Carolina had four starters score in double figures, led by Seth Trimble and Jarin Stevenson, on the way to

On3 Sports While the Tar Heels will look to earn a big win later tonight on the road at NC State, they secured a win for the future, landing five-star combo guard Dylan Mingo after a long recruiting battle with Penn State, Baylor, Washington, and others. Mingo is ranked as the No. 8 player in the 2026 recruiting class and is considered to be the No. 3 combo-guard and the No. 1 player from the state of New York. He chose Carolina after initially delaying his commitment a few w

@UNCMBBStats The Tar Heels knew they were going to be without Caleb Wilson on Saturday against Pittsburgh, but it ended up being without Henri Veesaar as well, who was battling the flu and a lower-body injury. Carolina was able to win the game rather easily, 79-65, to improve to 20-5 on the season, and 8-4 in the ACC. Quickly after the game, though, the attention turned to tomorrow’s road game at NC State, which will determine seeding for the ACC tournament, and is the only r

Western Carolina Athletics Following the additions of Kaleb Jackson and Brandon Homady, it appeared that the Tar Heels were done adding guys out of the portal. As we learned on Sunday morning, though, that is not the case. As first reported by Pete Nakos of On3 Sports, the Tar Heels have signed Western Carolina transfer quarterback Taron Dickens out of the portal. He is expected to have two years of eligibility remaining in Chapel Hill. Dickens, 5’11, 180 lbs., is coming off

Bob Donnan- Imagn Images No Caleb Wilson. No Henri Veesaar. No problem. After coming into the game against Pittsburgh without Wilson because of a fracture in his left hand that was revealed earlier in the week, the Tar Heels found out in pregame that they were also going to be without Veesaar due to an illness and a lower-body extremity injury. Without their top two scorers and rebounders, it would have made sense if the Tar Heels had struggled in the game against Pittsburgh,

CBS Sports After losing to Miami on Tuesday night, the Tar Heels are ready to turn the page, as they host Pittsburgh this afternoon in the Smith Center, where Carolina is undefeated this season. The challenge will be moving on without Caleb Wilson, who fractured his left hand in the loss on Tuesday night, leaving Carolina without its leading scorer and rebounder, as Wilson was enjoying the best statistical freshman season we’ve ever seen at North Carolina.  When Carolina offi

@li.r3d6- Instragram/Tremain Hill- Treehouse Photography The importance of the 2026 recruiting class for the Tar Heels can not be understated with where the roster is at and on Thursday, it was revealed that the team has lost two signees from that class. As first reported by Inside Carolina’s Don Callahan earlier today, wide receiver Keeyun Chapman and interior offensive lineman Da’Ron Parks will no longer be a part of the football program after signing with the team in Decem

ESPN After it was reported yesterday by the News & Observer, along with Inside Carolina, and other UNC sites, that freshman Caleb Wilson had suffered a sprained left wrist, the Carolina Basketball program announced earlier this afternoon that Wilson has suffered a fracture in his left hand and will be out for the foreseeable future. The injury occurred during the loss to Miami on Tuesday night, when Wilson left the game for an extended period of time to have his left wrist ta

Jaylynn Nash- Getty Images/David Jensen- Getty Images The Tar Heels don’t have many prospects from this past year’s team that look bound for the NFL, but the two that look like sure bets to at least be with teams in training camps received their combine invites on Wednesday. The NFL released its list of 319 prospects that will attend the 2026 NFL Combine in Indianapolis earlier this morning and the list contained just two Tar Heels in cornerbacks Thaddeus Dixon and Marcus All

@UNC_Basketball After winning the biggest game of the season last Saturday, the Tar Heels couldn’t avoid the letdown game, losing to Miami 75-66 last night, to see their five-game win streak come to an end, as Miami led from start to finish. After a high-scoring first half, both teams struggled to put the ball in the basket, as Carolina scored 26 second-half points, on 26% shooting from the field, including going 1-14 from behind the arc, as UNC finished the game going 2-12 f

@UNCMBBStats After Saturday’s big win over Duke, the Tar Heels have to come off that emotional high and get ready to play a very good Miami tonight in Coral Gables, looking to extend their winning streak to six games. The win over Duke was by far the most important win of the season, as well as the most emotional, as Carolina secured their first ever buzzer-beater in the history of the storied rivalry, and for as much worry as you have in the game before the Duke, the same co

For the first time in the history of the Super Bowl, a former Tar Heel will be one of the starting quarterbacks in the game.
