UNC Basketball 2023 Transfer portal tracker

The 2023 offseason has already been a busy one for the UNC basketball program. After failing to make the NCAA Tournament, Hubert Davis and his staff now face a very important offseason to rebuild the program and get back to winning ways.

In the days after UNC missed out on the tournament by not hearing their name on Selection Sunday, the transfer news started to roll in.

As of April 1, the Tar Heels have lost six players to the transfer portal headlined by guard Caleb Love. They have also lost key pieces like Dontrez Styles and Puff Johnson as well as members of the 2022 recruiting class in Tyler Nickel, and Will Shaver.

With holes on the roster, the Tar Heels’ staff will have to fill some big needs as they only welcome in a two-man recruiting class for the 2023 cycle. They can do so through the transfer portal and already, they have identified some big targets.
