Ok Tar Heel fanatics, with the addition of Caleb Wilson to our roster for 2025-26, it is time to start talking about portal players to build on top of this signing.
My opinion is that we will have two desperate needs from the portal.
A stud 5 man, and marksman on the wing.
For this discussion let's talk specifically about the 5 spot.
I looked at a preseason top 100 players list and compiled some names that I think are worthy of consideration.
Here is my initial list
Motiejus Krivas (Arizona) 7'2" 260So 8/4.5
Baye Ndongo. (GaTech) 6'9" 240So 11.7/7.5
JT Toppin. ( TexTech) 6'9" 225 So 17/9
Malik Raneau ( Indiana) 6'9" 232 Jr 13/5.7
Robbie Avila ( St Louis) 6'10" 240 Jr 18/7
38% 3's
Collin Boyles (So Carolina) 6'7" 245 15/9
Wish list without a chance: D Queen Maryland 6'10" 240 16/8 He is NBA Bound
Feel free to add names or tell me why any of these are not good candidates.
Have at it boys/ girls
