North Carolina got good news from the portal on Tuesday

It didn’t take long for UNC point guard Seth Trimble to change his mind. He decided to withdraw from the transfer portal and announced his return to the Tar Heels, per his Instagram.

He averaged 5.2 points per game in 2023-24, while helping UNC earn a No. 1 seed in the NCAA Tournament.

The Wisconsin native was ranked as a four-star recruit and the No. 42 overall player in the country coming out of high school by the On3 Industry rankings. As a freshman, Trimble averaged 1.8 points and 0.6 assists per game while appearing in all 33 games.

Trimble improved those numbers this past season, appearing in 35 games, with one start. He averaged 5.2 points, 2.1 rebounds and 0.9 assists per game while shooting 47 percent from the floor and nearly 42 percent from 3-point range.

He helped the Tar Heels to a 29-8 record in 2023-24, before they lost to Alabama in the Sweet 16.

He made a now-deleted post on Instagram about his decision to enter the transfer portal. It read:

“I want to give thanks to my Lord for guiding me every day, allowing me to grow. To the fans of North Carolina, I sit with tears of joy, thankful for the blessings and memories this university has given me. It’s been a fun ride here, and the support and opportunities I’ve been given from this family have blessed me more than I can express gratitude for. I’m thankful for each and every one of you who believed in a kid from Menomonee Falls.”
