The North Carolina Tar Heels are actively shaping their roster for the 2026-27 season under new head coach Mike Malone, with the transfer portal playing a key role. A major priority? Bolstering the backcourt after the departure of Derek Dixon to Arizona and the exhausted eligibility of Seth Trimble.
Enter Terrence Brown, the high-scoring former Utah guard who has emerged as a top target. Brown, who averaged an impressive 19.9 points per game last season, recently completed a visit to Chapel Hill but left without committing, keeping Tar Heel fans on the edge of their seats.
The recruitment battle is heating up, as Brown is now en route to Lawrence for an official visit with the Kansas Jayhawks. This sets the stage for a classic Blue Blood showdown, with both UNC and Kansas vying for the talented guard's commitment.
Securing a player of Brown's caliber—who also averaged 3.8 assists and 2.4 rebounds—would be a significant win for either program, providing immediate offensive firepower and experience. As the visit unfolds, all eyes in the college basketball world will be on Lawrence to see if the Jayhawks can sway this coveted transfer.
