College Basketball News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now! — UNC Hoops Star Veesaar Stays, Shakes Roster. Machine-transcribed; use the interactive transcript above to jump the player to any line.
On April 24, North Carolina hoops just got rocked. Seven-foot center-honory Vesar, their borderline first-round prospect for the 2026 NBA draved, is declaring and staying in. Folks thought he'd stick around campus since he's worth more as a college star right now. Earlier this week, CBS Sports dropped the news from Matt Norlander. Vesar skipped the transfer portal entirely, so returning for his senior year, seemed like a lock under new coach Michael Malone. Tarheal fans are feeling it. Vesar balled out last season with 17 points, 8.7 rebounds, 2.1 assists, 1.5 steals, and 1.4. Blocks per game in over 30 minutes. Their squats at 11th in the AP poll before injuries derailed top prospect Caleb Wilson in February. This flips UNC's roster outlook hard. They were 14th in the latest CBS Top 25 in one preseason rankings with him. Now version 11 boots them entirely. Malone's crew has portal time left to reload and punch back into those top spots.
Watch how they rebuild this squad.
