Hubert Davis will be entering his fifth season as North Carolina’s head basketball coach following an up-and-down first four seasons. After taking the Tar Heels to the national championship game in his first season as head coach, North Carolina has failed to advance past the Sweet 16 in each of Davis’ next three years. The Tar Heels needed a First Four victory to capture a No. 11 seed in the Round of 64 this year before losing to Ole Miss, 71-64, in the first round of the 2025 NCAA Tournament. The Tar Heels graduated the program’s No. 2 scoring leader of all-time (RJ Davis) and had three players enter the transfer portal, highlighted by second-leading scorer Ian Jackson, for a program undergoing significant changes before the 2025-26 college basketball season.

Seth Trimble is the only returner of North Carolina’s top-four leading scorers. The 6-foot-3 guard averaged 11.6 points per game in his junior season, so can he be the man in North Carolina to lead the Tar Heels to their NCAA-record 22nd Final Four? If you love the Tar Heels, or want the latest roster updates and college basketball transfer portal news, be sure to see what the proven team of insiders are saying at InsideCarolina, the 247Sports affiliate that covers North Carolina.

North Carolina basketball roster news

North Carolina secured its third commitment from the college basketball transfer portal after Kyan Evans announced his signing with UNC last Wednesday. Evans, a 6’2″ guard, averaged 10.6 points as a sophomore last season. He scored 23 points in a victory for Colorado State over Memphis in the first round of the NCAA Tournament. Evans made 6-of-9 3-pointers in the win and shot 44.6% from beyond the arc, so he’ll provide an outside threat in Chapel Hill.

North Carolina made the third-most 3-pointers in the ACC last season, but the three players who made the most triples won’t be on the roster next year. The Tar Heels made the second-most 3-pointers in the ACC the year before, so Davis will still want his team to be aggressive from beyond the arc, and Evans provides that deep threat North Carolina is desperate for. Get the latest North Carolina basketball roster news from InsideCarolina.

As a former college football coach for 40 years, I’ve witnessed firsthand the transformative power of college sports in shaping young lives. From the locker room to the classroom, athletics instill discipline, teamwork and resilience — values that extend far beyond the field. But ever since the Supreme Court ruled that college athletes can be compensated for the use of their Name, Image and Likeness (NIL), college sports have been in a tailspin.  

While I’m all for players making money, we need to create national standards to protect the integrity of college sports. Because there are no national rules for NIL contracts, every state has passed its own laws. This patchwork of laws has created an uneven playing field and given some universities advantages over their competitors.  

We now have pay-to-play as bidding wars for recruits are starting in middle and high school. This is not to mention the transfer portal, which has become a revolving door with student-athletes jumping from school to school in pursuit of more money.  

TRUMP CONSIDERING EXECUTIVE ORDER TO REGULATE NIL AFTER MEETING WITH NICK SABAN: REPORT

For example, the men’s basketball teams at Kentucky, Duke and the University of North Carolina are preparing for their entire rosters to change in the upcoming 2025-26 season. This is not only bad for team culture, it’s also having negative impacts on the student-athletes’ educations, which is what college athletics is supposed to be all about.  

Nico Iamaleava throws ball

I’ve been working to try to address these issues since I got to the Senate in 2021. Last Congress, West Virginia Independent Senator Joe Manchin and I introduced the “Protecting Athletes, Schools, and Sports Act” (PASS Act). This bipartisan legislation would establish a national standard for NIL contracts, ensuring consistency and fairness across all institutions.  

The PASS Act would also require universities to honor the original scholarship made to student-athletes, regardless of their NIL deal status, and provide stability by moderating eligibility for the transfer portal.

Importantly, this was not just our bill — we worked with student athletes, coaches, athletics directors and parents to draft it. Unfortunately, Democrats, who had the majority at the time, refused to bring the bill to the floor for a vote.  

SEN TUBERVILLE PREVIEWS NIL MEETING WITH TRUMP, SAYS DEMOCRATS ‘DON’T CARE’ ABOUT COLLEGE SPORTS

Thankfully, President Donald Trump — a notorious sports fan — is looking to get involved. A few weeks ago, I had the chance to talk to him about our fight to preserve college sports while on Air Force One headed to Tuscaloosa, Alabama. He was particularly focused on protecting women’s and Olympic sports, which are sadly in danger of being eliminated at some schools who don’t have enough money to play players.  

He was also focused on preserving education, ensuring antitrust protections are in place, and protecting women’s and Olympic sports, which are sadly being eliminated at some schools that don’t have enough money to pay players. In typical Trump fashion, he sprang into action.  

Following our conversation, the White House began exploring ways, ranging from an executive order to a federal commission, to address the most pressing issues within college athletics. By hearing from key stakeholders, including my friends former Coach Nick Saban from Alabama and former NFL player and Chairman of the Board of Regents of the Texas Tech University System Cody Campbell, the Trump administration is working to gather possible solutions that address the complexities of NIL and its impact on college sports.

Regardless of which path Trump chooses to address the current state of college sports, I’m confident that his administration — which has already proven to be both effective and unafraid to shake up the status quo — can make meaningful reforms to make sure college sports remain intact. 

NCAA POWER FOUR COMMISSIONERS SAY THEY ‘NEED HELP FROM CONGRESS’ TO REGULATE NIL, TRANSFER PORTAL

Meanwhile, I’ll continue to work with my colleagues to hopefully draft legislation that could pass both chambers. The challenges facing college sports today are formidable, but not insurmountable. With President Trump’s leadership and a unified approach, we can navigate this new era while preserving the integrity and spirit of collegiate athletics.

Carmody wins Dem nod, Dennis-Bovani takes GOP spot in Magisterial District 11-2-01

WILKES-BARRE — Three candidates cross-filed in Magisterial District Judge 11-2-01 and two of them will advance to the Nov. 4 General Election. According to unofficial results, Matthew J. Carmody won the Democratic nomination and Laura Dennis-Bovani captured the Republican nod. The other candidate, former Wyoming Borough Mayor Robert J. Boyer, finished a distant third […]

WILKES-BARRE — Three candidates cross-filed in Magisterial District Judge 11-2-01 and two of them will advance to the Nov. 4 General Election.

According to unofficial results, Matthew J. Carmody won the Democratic nomination and Laura Dennis-Bovani captured the Republican nod. The other candidate, former Wyoming Borough Mayor Robert J. Boyer, finished a distant third on both sides of the ballot.

The unofficial vote totals are:

Democrat

• Carmody, 1,019

• Dennis-Bovani, 841

• Boyer, 166

Republican

• Dennis-Bovani, 849

• Carmody, 762

• Boyer, 174

The Magisterial District 11-2-01 covers the municipalities of Exeter Borough, Exeter Township, West Pittston, West Wyoming Borough and Wyoming Borough. It just about covers the entire Wyoming Area School District with the exception of Harding and Falls.

“I’m grateful and humbled for the support we received and to the voters who came out and voted for me,” Carmody said. “I’m looking forward to the November election and we will continue to work hard until Nov. 4.”

“I am honored to have a nomination and I am extremely thankful for the support I’ve received,” Dennis-Bovani said. “I am looking forward to reaching out to every voter in the district and I also look forward to the November General Election.”

Carmody is seeking to assume the seat his father, Attorney Joe Carmody, has held over the last 22 years.

Carmody, 43, is a graduate of Wyoming Area (2000), University of Pittsburgh (2004), Roger Williams University School of Law (2007) and was admitted to the Pennsylvania bar in 2007.

He spent his early days in law as a law clerk in Philadelphia County Court of Common Pleas before returning to Wyoming Valley.

After working for a Wilkes-Barre law firm for several years, he and two colleagues went out on their own creating the law firm of Joyce, Carmody & Moran, P.C. in 2015. In addition, Carmody is the solicitor for the Pittston Township Sewer Authority and the Assistant Solicitor to the Luzerne Co. Transportation Authority.

“I am running because I love this community, and I want to continue to keep it safe for my family and all families who live here,” Carmody said when he announced his candidacy. “After graduating from law school, I returned home where I met my wife, Amanda, and we decided there is nowhere else we would want to raise our family. I am proud to say that my kids — seven-year-old daughter Caroline and our eight-year-old son Joseph — are the fourth generation of Carmodys to call the Wyoming Area home.”

Carmody believes he would make a fair and impartial judge while treating everyone that comes through his courtroom with dignity and respect.

Carmody said, “I’ve done a great deal of civil rights defense for municipalities over the years, including 14 years serving as a court appointed criminal defense attorney in Federal Court and that allowed me to work with the U.S. Attorney’s office, the FBI, DEA and various Federal agencies, including the IRS. I’ve also been specializing in Labor Laws over the last 10 years.”

Dennis-Bovani, 51, a lifelong resident of the district, is a 1991 Wyoming Area graduate, she has been practicing privately for more than 25-years and has represented clients in criminal and civil litigation, wills and estates, believing her experience covers the legal issues a District Judge handles on a daily basis.

She is an Assistant Solicitor in the Luzerne County Office of Law, the Solicitor for Wyoming Borough, and a volunteer solicitor for the Wyoming Free Library and the Wyoming Area Foundation Board.

Dennis-Bovani serves on the Luzerne County Arbitration Board, the Executive Board of the Wilkes-Barre Law and Library Association and previously served as a divorce mediator.

Dennis-Bovani said she is running for magistrate to bring her years of courtroom experience to the bench, where she says she will be a fair and impartial judge. She pledges to work to ensure that “in each case everyone can be heard, treated fairly and with respect.”

“I feel like it’s a way for me to bring my legal experience to the bench to be involved and invested in the community as a judge,” Dennis-Bovani said. “It’s a way to bring all my experience as a lawyer to be able to have the people of our community to have a place where they know they are going to in front of a judge that is knowledgeable in the law and that prides herself in giving everyone a fair opportunity in the courtroom.”

Once elected, Dennis-Bovani said she would vacate her positions with Luzerne County, the Solicitor with Wyoming Borough as well as all criminal cases.

Dennis-Bovani is married to Dante J. Bovani, a third-generation owner of his family’s towing and service business, located on Exeter Avenue in West Pittston. The Dennis-Bovani’s are the parents of Dante and Mia Bovani.

West Plains' Antonio Baca signs with Blackburn College men's soccer

AMARILLO, Texas (KFDA) – West Plains senior soccer star Antonio Baca signed his NLI with Blackburn College on Tuesday.

The end of the school year is upon us, but more and more star senior athletes are continuing to find their next home to compete in college.

On Tuesday, one of the founding members of the West Plains’ soccer program signed his letter of intent.

Antonio Baca, a team captain for the Wolves, signed with Blackburn College Men’s Soccer.

Blackburn is located in Carlinville, IL. Signing his letter surrounded by friends, family and teammates, Baca understood the importance of the big day.

 “It means a lot to me,” Baca said. “I’m very thankful for them. I’m excited, I didn’t expect this many people.”

He spoke on why he felt Blackburn was the place to be.

“It was just a good experience, when I met with the coaches, when they showed up for a showcase,” he said. “I connect with them really well and it just seemed like the right fit.”

As a sophomore the year that West Plains opened its doors, he was one of the founding members of the boys soccer team.

“West Plains prepared me very well, with Coach A and Coach Dodson,” Baca said. “They’ve helped me out a lot, with us being a new school, you know, and making playoffs for two years. I can’t thank them enough. I think they’ve guided me in the right direction to play at the collegiate level, and I’m excited.”
