1. Tar Heels reportedly have a $14 million roster

On Monday’s offseason After Dark show, Jeff Goodman and Rob Dauster discussed the biggest winners and losers of the offseason. Among the losers? Hubert Davis and North Carolina.

The Tar Heels brought in five respectable additions but none that Dauster thought were UNC-caliber players:

• Big man Henri Veesaar (Arizona)

• Guard Jaydon Young (Virginia Tech)

• Forward Jarin Stevenson (Alabama)

• Guard Jonathan Powell (West Virginia)

• Guard Kyan Evans (Colorado State)

Returning for UNC will be guard Seth Trimble and big man James Brown, along with bench players Russell Hawkins, Dante Mayo Jr. and John Holbrook. The freshman additions include international prospect Luka Bogavac, 5-star forward Caleb Wilson and 4-star guards Derek Dixon and Isaiah Denis. This roster isn’t necessarily screaming a team capable of cutting down nets.

Well… what if I told you that roster is worth $14 million? A report from Inside Carolina on Tuesday says that’s the case.

“Multiple sources have confirmed that UNC has surpassed the $14 million mark in its financial commitment to the 2025-26 roster, approximately triple what was spent on the roster a year ago,” the report said.

With the roster at 14 players, it’s hard to imagine any other pieces getting added to the puzzle. We’ll have to wait and see if UNC’s big spending was worth it. Because right now, it seems like a bit much for a fringe top-25 roster.

2. Ohio State adds international piece + more moves

We’ve hit the portion of the offseason where programs are focused on the international ranks to pick up any final additions to their rosters.
