UNC Lands Transfer Cade Bennerman, Seeks International Center

0:00On April 27, UNC coach Michael Malone just landed a commitment from Northwestern Transfer, Cade Benerman, a 7-foot forward from Nashville, Tennessee. This comes right after former Senator Henry Vissar declared for the NBA draft. Benerman was the second best player in his state coming out of high school, according to recruiting rankings. He never saw the court during his freshman year with the Wildcats, so he's seen as a project player who could add some front court depth down the line. For the tar heels, fans are buzzing about this pickup, especially since it frees up scholarship money after losing Vissar. It's a smart step to build the roster, but folks know it'll take time for Benerman to make an impact. The team still lacks a true starting center, and word is they'll scout international options to fill that gap. Overall, this keeps UNC moving forward in the Transfer Portal game, with more pieces needed to lock down that starting lineup.
