🏀 BREAKING: Arizona Native & Star Transfer Guard Commits to UNC, Chooses Chapel Hill Over Alabama, Michigan State, and Georgia 💙🐏
In a major recruiting coup for the Tar Heels, a highly sought-after transfer guard and Arizona native has officially committed to the University of North Carolina, pledging his future to Chapel Hill after weighing offers from powerhouse programs including Alabama, Michigan State, and Georgia.
The dynamic center-forward combo guard, known for his versatility, elite ball-handling, and defensive tenacity, made his announcement via social media on Tuesday, writing:
💬 “100% committed. Chapel Hill, I’m coming home.”
His commitment is a massive win for UNC head coach Hubert Davis, who continues to reload a roster brimming with talent and championship aspirations. Sources close to the program say that Carolina’s tradition, player development culture, and fan atmosphere played a huge role in swaying the decision.
🏀 The Arizona standout, who averaged 16.4 points, 6.8 assists, and 5.2 rebounds last season, is widely viewed as one of the top transfer guards in the nation. Coaches and scouts rave about his high basketball IQ, lockdown perimeter defense, and ability to create offense both on and off the ball.
UNC beat out some serious competition in Alabama, who pitched immediate starting minutes, and Michigan State, known for its guard development. But in the end, the player cited “family feel,” academic support, and Dean Dome energy” as key factors in his decision.
💥 With this addition, the Tar Heels solidify their backcourt as one of the deepest in the country heading into the 2025 season — and fans are already buzzing about a Final Four run.
