Bill Belichick is just a handful of days into his coaching stint with North Carolina, but the Hall of Fame head coach has already made his presence felt on the recruiting trail. The expected reliance on the transfer portal was no secret headed into the offseason in Chapel Hill, but the introduction of Belichick has expedited that cycle and created some early buzz looking ahead to 2025.
As of Thursday night, the Tar Heels have received seven commitments in the young portal cycle. They hosted numerous recruits over the last week, and the pitch of the revamped pro-style program appears to be resonating with those interested in North Carolina.
