EXCITING NEWS: North Carolina Tar Heels Basketball Hit with Sensational Update, “Cheer up Fans”
Will Hubert Davis be able to land the stud playmaker?
Things didn’t unfold as anticipated for former 5-star recruit Elliot Cadeau in Chapel Hill. On Tuesday, the long-expected announcement came: Cadeau has chosen to officially join the transfer portal. With him leaving, UNC basketball coach Hubert Davis is now searching for a new point guard to lead the Tar Heels.
Could Donovan Dent be the answer? The impressive point guard from New Mexico has also opted to transfer, and numerous programs are interested in him. According to Tar Heel Illustrated, the UNC coaching staff has already reached out. Is Dent the player Davis might bring in to fill Cadeau’s role?
North Carolina has reportedly been in contact with star New Mexico PG Donovan Dent
Originally part of the 2022 class, Dent was a 4-star recruit from high school and ranked as the No. 20 point guard in the nation. He had an outstanding season with the Lobos, averaging 20.4 points and 6.4 assists per game, earning him the title of Mountain West Player of the Year.
As he seeks a new opportunity, Dent is widely regarded as one of the top players available. Xavier is another program to watch closely for him, especially since they recently hired Richard Pitino as their new head coach. Pitino and Dent formed a strong connection during their time at New Mexico, leading to speculation that Dent could join him in Cincinnati.
However, it would be a compelling choice to play for North Carolina as well. Davis is aware of this, which is why his staff is already working diligently to bring Dent to campus as soon as possible, with an official visit potentially happening this week.
Acquiring Dent, who stands 6-2 and weighs 185 pounds, will be challenging, as many programs will be vying for his commitment to start next season. While the loss of Cadeau is undoubtedly a letdown, having Dent orchestrate the offense for the Tar Heels would certainly please many fans.
