Malone becomes the first UNC head basketball coach who does not have direct ties to Chapel Hill since Frank McGuire in 1952. Dean Smith took over after a stint as a UNC assistant.

Zayden High, James Brown, Jonathan Powell, Derek Dixon, Jaydon Young and Isaiah Denis are all expected to enter the portal but haven’t yet.

UNC transfer portal rumors:
April 7: Wake Forest guard Juke Harris is currently the No. 1 overall player in On3’s Transfer Portal Rankings.
“The 6-foot-7 sophomore averaged 21.4 PPG this season. NC State will be in the hunt for the North Carolina native, who’s expected to go through the NBA Draft process. New Wolfpack head coach Justin Gainey recruited Harris while he was at Tennessee and built a strong relationship with him. Another school that I believe could be a contender if they make a push is North Carolina. Harris will be one of the most sought-after players in the portal.”
