BYU transfer forward Kanon Catchings likely next UNC basketball portal commitment
UNC Basketball's next big transfer portal commitment seems likely to be Brigham Young forward
Kanon Catchings. The 6-9 rising sophomore will visit UNC on Friday and On3’s Pete Nakos predicted that he will commit to the Tar Heels. Catchings entered the portal with a "do not contact" tag, which sometimes means they already knew their destination. (

Ian Jackson Transfer, Basketball Recruiting Setback, Transfer Portal Checklist
Ian Jackson not being at Carolina next year is not surprising. Him going to another school is somewhat surprising. Salary and role alignment are usually the things that determine whether or not a player enters the portal. If he had gone pro, no one would really say anything. Him going to another school is what will really frustrate the UNC fan base. (

Chansky’s Notebook: Moves and Maybes
The Tar Heels still need to get bigger and bigger. Congrats to
Hubert Davis and his staff for reeling in 7-footer
Henri Veesaar from Arizona. He looks like a good get, but Carolina cannot stop there and needs at least one more big man besides Veesaar and Ven-Allen Lubin. A potential big hole now is the future of rising sophomores Ian Jackson and
Drake Powell. (
