Tar Heels keep building: Meet the newest big man

North Carolina’s basketball roster just got even deeper with the addition of Ivan Matlekovic, a 6’11” center from Croatia. He’s the 10th new face joining the Tar Heels this offseason, adding much-needed size and options in the paint. Even though Matlekovic played limited minutes at High Point last year, his presence could shake up the frontcourt rotation. With other new transfers and top recruits, UNC fans are buzzing about how this revamped squad will gel. What do you think—will all these fresh faces help the Heels make a serious run this season? #Sports #TarHeels #UNC

Why Cameron Holmes could be UNC’s next star

Cameron Holmes, a top-25 Class of 2026 prospect, just put UNC and coach Hubert Davis in the spotlight with some major praise. Even though North Carolina isn’t leading his recruitment yet, Holmes says he’s been a Tar Heels fan since he was a kid and loves Davis’s honest, down-to-earth approach. With only one official visit scheduled (Oregon), there’s a real chance Chapel Hill could be on his fall travel list. If UNC can land Holmes, it could be a game-changer for their 2026 class. What do you think—should Holmes choose his childhood favorite? #Sports #UNC #TarHeels
