With Elliot Cadeau's departure and ensuing commitment to Michigan in the transfer portal, the North Carolina Tar Heels are in big need of a point guard for their 2025-2026 basketball season.
Seth Trimble is the likely successor for Cadeau, but he's more of a defensive-minded shooting guard. UNC also has combo guards Isaiah Denis and Derek Dixon coming in, plus 6'6 West Virginia transfer Jonathan Powell.
Hubert Davis is still busy searching for a true point guard in the portal, which is evident by recent activity over the weekend.
On Saturday, April 5, North Carolina reached out to a pair of point guard: Princeton transfer Xaivion Lee and Chattanooga's Honor Huff.
Lee, a junior, led Princeton with 16.9 points and 5.5 assists per game. The Tigers finished their season 19-11 (8-6), losing to eventual Ivy League champion Yale in the conference tournament semifinals.
Huff, also a junior, led Chattanooga to the NIT Championship over UC Irvine in an electric finish. Huff averaged 15.2 points per game, making him one of four Mocs in double-digits.
Whereas Cadeau is more of a pass-first point guard, Lee and Huff have more well-rounded games that Tar Heels fans will greatly appreciate. Cadeau averaged a career-high 3.1 turnovers per game during his final season in Chapel Hill, whereas Huff averaged just 1.3 and Lee averaged 2.2 per game.
Even if UNC strikes out on Lee and Huff, I feel confident about the point this coming season. There's plenty of options in Chapel Hill, but an experienced portal addition would be the cherry on top.
