for UNC fans. All three are big men. One is 7-1 center, Maxime Raynaud, who played three years at Stanford. He is a native of France who averaged 15.5 points, 9.6 rebounds, and 2 assists per game. He entered the portal yesterday. I am not at liberty to say who the other two are. One is expected to become available before the end of the week. If and when he does I will post his name immediately. The other is not a certainty to leave his school, but the watch is on. He is a very well know post player who most here would be somewhat familiar with. Let me add that the Tar Heel interest in the portal will be for a post player. I am not led to believe that they are tracking perimeters at this time.

They’ve had some confusing assistant hires in his time, but credit him for elevating that brand in recruiting and matching the school’s vision for football. Defensively, they will look totally different." (Athlon Sports)
