- UNC center reveals difference between Tar Heels and Arizona
The North Carolina Tar Heels had to retool their roster this offseason, bringing in a good 2025 recruiting class and landing a talented transfer portal class.
With a new-look roster for Hubert Davis and his staff, North Carolina needs to have better results than they had last season, when they lost in the first round of the 2025 NCAA Tournament. One of those big additions in the transfer portal is 7-foot center Henri Veesaar.

The center transferred from Arizona to North Carolina and will be the team's starting center. At the ACC Tipoff event on Tuesday, Veesaar was asked about the differences between Arizona and North Carolina.
"I would say it's quite different; definitely seeing the game change and the way that the team is," Veesaar said . "I think the biggest difference is really just seeing the connectivity of the team here and seeing how the coaches really are every day like hands-on off the court, no matter where. It's like the team meetings and all that."
Veesaar spent two seasons at Arizona and played with former UNC guard Caleb Love . He told the media just a few weeks ago that Love urged him to go to North Carolina out of the portal.
The big man appears to be greatly enjoying his time in Chapel Hill so far. Let's hope he can put together a successful season.
