North Carolina Tar Heels guard Luka Bogavac has entered the NCAA transfer portal, reversing a recent decision to stay with the program. The announcement came on Saturday, just days after TarHeel247 reported he would remain. This development follows the hiring of Michael Malone as the program's new head coach.
The Tar Heels are actively shaping their roster during the ongoing transfer portal window. While forward Jaydon Young decided to return to UNC after initially entering the portal, Bogavac's departure marks a setback for the team under Malone's leadership. Sources indicate that Bogavac likely met with the new coaching staff in recent days, prompting the change of heart from staying to transferring out. Bogavac, who joined UNC last season from Montenegro, played in all 33 games. He averaged 9.8 points, 2.5 rebounds, and 2.2 assists per game, while shooting 40.2 percent from the field and 34.9 percent from three-point range. UNC continues to navigate a busy transfer cycle as they build for the future with Malone at the helm.
