UNC Lands Two Key Guards, Strengthens Backcourt

0:00On April 21, North Carolina Tar Heels basketball had a massive Tuesday, landing two key guards for their back court. First up, former Utah standout Terrence Brown, Jr. committed early in the morning, giving Coach Michael Malone a solid addition right away. A few hours later, the heels struck again with ex-North Carolina State Guard Matt Abel. He'd been in the transfer portal for weeks and was leaning hard toward Chapel Hill after a strong prediction landed that same day. Fans are buzzing about these moves, especially since UNC lost some guards from last season squad. Abel ranks as the 44th best player available in the portal according to 247 sports, making him a real prize for rebuilding that. Perimeter strength. Abel brings solid numbers from his wolf pack days, averaging 8.8 points and 3.4 rebounds per game. He shot 41.6% from the field and 35.5% from beyond the arc. These commitments lock in a deeper rotation and set UNC up strong heading into next season. Watch this roster come alive.
