College basketball insider reveals the latest on transfer Pete Nance's recruitment

One of the top remaining players in the college basketball Transfer Portal is Northwestern forward Pete Nance, who is on a visit to North Carolina this weekend.

College basketball analyst Matt Norlander provided an update on Nance’s visit on Friday with good news for the Tar Heels. Here’s what Norlander tweeted regarding Nance’s trip to Chapel Hill:

“The best remaining transfer on the board is Northwestern transfer Pete Nance, who is still on his UNC visit right now. I’m hearing it’s likely/expected at this point he’ll be a Tar Heel. Would be another huge piece added to an already-loaded 2023 national title contender.”

There you have it. The son of former NBA player Larry Nance and the brother of current player Larry Nance Jr. is very possibly headed to North Carolina.

Norlander also had this to add for context on Nance the player:

“Nance averaged 14.6 PPG, 6.5 RPG, 2.7 APG and shot 45.2% from 3 last season. With him in the fold, UNC would all the more be a viable team to consider for preseason No. 1. Everyone of significant impact except for Brady Manek is back for the Heels. Good plot development for CBB.”

Looks like Carolina might have their Manek replacement. Great shot for Hubert Davis’ club to be the top-ranked team in the preseason.

Hubert Davis explains transfer portal approach with one open scholarship

Hubert Davis picked up one impact transfer last offseason when Oklahoma’sBrady Manek committed to North Carolina. In the end, Manek became one of the best pickups in the nation. The senior averaged a career-high 15.1 points per game, 6.1 rebounds and shot 40.1% from deep.

With one scholarship left on his roster, Davis says he wants to use it for a similar, fitting pickup for his roster.

“You can really help your team through the transfer portal. I couldn’t imagine where our team would be without Brady. He just fit,” said Davis to the media on Wednesday. “Not only was his game a perfect thing that we needed out there on the floor. His personality in the locker room was awesome.”

With a year under his belt, Davis is now able to have his own approach on the recruiting trail and take his own platers. Last season, he could only promise recruits like Manek what his program would look like. Now he can show them what his vision is in Chapel Hill.
