The North Carolina Tar Heels are just under two weeks out from their 2025-26 season opener when they host Central Arkansas in the Dean Dome. After that, just a few days later they will host Kansas in a ranked matchup at home.
But as we continue to approach those games, UNC received some partial good news regarding a key player on the roster.

During Wednesday's press conference, head coach Hubert Davis confirmed that international newcomer Luka Bogavac has been cleared to play during the 2025-26 season by the NCAA. That's great news for the program that was awaiting that clearance from the NCAA.
However, it's unclear when Bogavac can actually hit the court as now there are a few hurdles instituitionally to go through as Davis pointed out.
"From an NCAA standpoint, yes," Davis said Wednesday via Inside Carolina . "Institutionally wise, we're working on it, and we're making progress."
The guard committed to play for North Carolina in May and officially arrived on campus in August but was awaiting official clearance. The next step now is through the university and the hope is that it's cleared quickly so he can play.
