The North Carolina Tar Heels basketball program will be battling a few blue bloods in a recruitment for a rising power forward in the 2025 recruiting class. 
Hubert Davis and the Tar Heels offered four-star power forward Nikolas Khamenia back in May, officially entering the recruitment. But the talented recruit has drawn a lot of interest since and now UNC’s rival is getting involved too.
The Duke Blue Devils have officially offered the talented recruit, he announced on Sunday night, closing out a busy month of June for college basketball recruiting.  With Duke offering,  Khamenia has 23 offers in his recruitment including...

While Armando Bacot will go down as one of the best players in North Carolina Tar Heels’ history, his career was almost cut short. The center spent five seasons with the program, taking advantage of that extra COVID-19 year, and putting his name in the record books.
But the retirement of Roy Williams following his sophomore season almost saw Bacot transfer as he explained on Theo Pinson’s Run Your Race podcast.
“Going into my junior year, it’s funny because I was going to transfer after my sophomore year,” Bacot said. “I had that great year but like coach [Roy] Williams had left....

Vanderbilt is doing their part to keep up in the loaded SEC, snagging a commitment from second baseman Mike Mancini out of James Madison in the transfer portal on Monday.
Mancini exploded as a sophomore for the Dukes this past season, slashing .329/.419/.587 with 15 home runs, 49 RBI, and 29 stolen bases. He was the 70th ranked player in the transfer portal according to 64 Analytics.
Mancini is perhaps most known for hitting a combined four home runs on one day against South Carolina and NC State in the Raleigh Regional this past season.
The 20-year-old also hit well in the Appalachian League in 2023 – slashing .318/.438/.424 – although he is struggling a bit with Orleans in the Cape Cod League this summer.
Vanderbilt has solid infield depth but was lacking power and speed in a big way last season, and in an extremely deep SEC that resulted in a 13-17 record in conference play and a fourth place finish in the East behind Tennessee, Kentucky, and Georgia.

WyoFile has acquired a photograph of a lynx in Wyoming, a landmark observation of a species currently considered absent from the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem. Star Valley resident Jason Reinhardt, an avid houndsman , came across the animal while mountain lion hunting the southern Gros Ventre Range in February 2022. There was no doubt in his mind what it was: a tom lynx, judging by its blocky head.

The Los Angeles Lakers struggled to find any traction in 2023. While there is no questioning the greatness of Anthony Davis and LeBron James, the rest of the roster never stepped up. This offseason, the Lakers are reportedly aggressively trying to add another star, but any championship roster is defined by the pieces around those stars. The Lakers re-signed one of those pieces today. Guard Max Christie is coming back to the team on a four-year deal.

The North Carolina Tar Heels’ basketball roster is pretty much set for the 2024-25 season barring a very surprising late addition. As Hubert Davis and the staff get set for practices in a few months, they have an idea of what to expect come tipoff in November.
And as we are full swing into the Summer, CBS Sports’ Gary Parrish has released his updated Top 25 and 1 rankings for the season. As has been the case for most of this offseason, Parrish thinks highly of the Tar Heels and has them ranked No. 4 in his rankings:

As he improved throughout his lone season at North Carolina, which included career highs in points (12.2) and rebounds (8.8) per game, Harrison Ingram simultaneously boosted his NBA Draft stock.
Ingram proved to be a massive addition in the transfer portal, perfectly sliding into the starting power forward spot previously occupied by Pete Nance. Ingram brought UNC that rare combo that is becoming increasingly popular in today’s game: a power forward who can bully opponents down low, but also step out and shoot the 3-pointer when needed.
Mock drafts had Ingram going in the second round, but there was still some speculation...
