North Carolina is still trying to assemble its basketball roster under the first year of the Michael Malone era as it looks to add two or three more players.

It may take a bit longer for everything to come together, with the staff currently scouting players in Europe and trying to determine what they actually need to ensure each player is the right fit. Additionally, there are still some highly productive players in America who are in the transfer portal.

The following is a list of some of the remaining uncommitted big men in the transfer portal. No one on this list is being actively recruited by UNC, but that could change in the coming days. It also offers everyone a chance to see who’s left.

With that being said, here is a brief overview of each player.
