UNC Basketball Hosts 7-Foot Transfer for Official Visit
The UNC basketball coaches recently hosted Arizona transfer Henri Veesaar, a towering 7-foot big man, for an official visit.
One of the main concerns among UNC basketball fans last offseason was the team’s lack of depth in the post, especially after the graduation of Armando Bacot. Head coach Hubert Davis and his staff made several attempts to secure top transfer big men but fell short, leading them to bring in Ven-Allen Lubin as their sole post addition from the transfer portal.
Lubin had a strong first season with the Tar Heels, particularly in the latter part of the year, though fans still felt the team needed more size in the frontcourt.
Now, it looks like that need may soon be addressed. Veesaar, who entered the transfer portal shortly after his Arizona team’s Sweet 16 loss to UNC’s archrival Duke, is being considered as a potential addition.
As a sophomore at Arizona, Veesaar averaged 9.4 points, 5.0 rebounds, and 1.1 blocks per game, primarily coming off the bench. At 7 feet tall and 205 pounds, the Estonian center could provide much-needed size to the Tar Heels’ frontcourt, potentially pairing with Lubin for the 2025-26 season.
