The North Carolina Tar Heels continue to add to their roster for the 2026-27 college basketball season, and on Monday, they received some good news.
Former Northwestern center Cade Bennerman committed to the program, he told Joe Tipton of On3. It's the latest addition for Michael Malone out of the transfer portal and comes at a position of need.

With Henri Veesaar opting to go to the NBA and James Brown transferring, UNC needs not only a starting center but depth as well. Bennerman can provide that depth right away.
The 7-foot, 205-pound center was the No. 29 player at his position in the transfer portal . He redshirted last season at Northwestern, not appearing in a game. He has four years of eligibility remaining.
Bennerman is an athletic center with a 7-foot-5 wingspan. He has a great deal of upside but will need some time to develop at the college level.
