Caleb Love is one of the most talented and talked about transfer portal players. He announced his decision yesterday and it’s a big one. Love has had quite the NCAA Basketball journey. As a vital part of the championship-run team at UNC, Love will forever be remembered in Chapel Hill for the shot that knocked Duke out of the tournament and finalized the end of the Mike Krzyzewski coaching career. Along with the other players from that team, Love made news by returning to UNC to “run it back.” The Tar Heels began the season as the preseason number-one ranked...

Kickoff times and broadcast information for the first three UNC football games in the 2023 season have been announced. The Tar Heels will debut in front of a national television audience for a highly-anticipated matchup with South Carolina in Charlotte on September 2. That game will kick off at approximately 7:30 p.m. on ABC, and is a strong candidate to be the featured game on ESPN’s College Gameday.

North Carolina basketball has officially announced the signing of four players from the transfer portal and an incoming freshman. Harrison Ingram (Stanford), Cormac Ryan (Notre Dame), Jae’Lyn Withers (Louisville) and Paxson Wojcik (Brown) are joining the Tar Heels for the 2023-24 season.

After leading Link Academy to a national championship, Cadeau’s dominance continued throughout the Nike EYBL (Elite Youth Basketball League). Leading the entire league in assists, Cadeau helped the New York Lightning become one of the most...

Sue Rocco speaks with Women in Sports Technology founder Marilou McFarlane.

It seems hard, at least for me. Even when I leave the house to run an errand, I have to check my pockets at least three times before locking the door to make sure I’m actually ready. Phone, wallet, keys... Ready as I’ll ever be. For folks that don’t second-guess themselves like it’s their job, how does it feel? Is there a calm assurance, an inherent ‘knowing’ in the same way that we know the sun will rise in the east each morning? Is it a nice feeling? Is it a feeling at all, or just the absence of that knawing feeling that lives somewhere in the shadowy corners of my mind? Does any of this make sense?

UNC basketball coach Hubert Davis previously said he was against high school players reclassifying. Tuesday, he benefitted from that decision. UNC basketball received great news on Tuesday, with top-ranked junior Elliot Cadeau reclassifying to play this year for the Tar Heels. Previously, UNC had a hole in its backcourt, one that will now be filled by Cadeau, who 247sports classifies as an elite pass-first point guard:

North Carolina’s offense will still be led by quarterback Drake Maye in 2023 but will look a little different. The team lost receivers Josh Downs and Antoine Green plus offensive coordinator Phil Longo who went to Wisconsin. But the Tar Heels also added some talented receivers, headlined by former Kent State standout Devontez Walker. The receiver committed to North Carolina out of the transfer total and should be Maye’s go-to target right away. As we get set for the upcoming season, College Sports Wire ranked the top wide receivers in the Atlantic Coast Conference. And Walker checked in at No. 4: Why The...

The college football season is still a couple of months away, but today TV networks started releasing times for early season games, including the Duke's Mayo Classic, which features the North Carolina Tar Heels, and the South Carolina Gamecocks. This battle between teams that will likely be ranked inside the top 25 in the preseason polls, is set for a 7:30 PM kick on ABC, making the Queen City the focus of the college football world, for the second time in three years. Two years ago, Clemson and Georgia battled at Bank of America Stadium, as two, top 5 teams, as Georgia prevailed 10-3, on their way to a national championship season.

With his UNC basketball career in the past, there’s still one thing that former standout Theo Pinson misses from his college days. When high school basketball players (and even transfers) commit to playing for the UNC basketball program, one of the enticing things is the amount of big-time games those players would eventually compete in.

The North Carolina football program continues to grow as they land top recruits around the country. Four-star defensive lineman Isaiah Campbell could be the latest recruit to become a Tar Heel, with a visit planned for the summer. Back in April, Campbell was in Chapel Hill rocking Carolina Blue while flicking it up with Mack Brown and his 2005 championship ring.
