UNC basketball is on a recruiting tear, hosting five-star point guard Beckham Black — the top-ranked player in the 2027 class — for an official visit this weekend. With big names like CJ Rosser and Jordan Page already on campus, the Tar Heels are making serious moves to secure elite talent. Beckham, the younger brother of former Arkansas star Anthony Black, is a major target, and UNC’s timing — with a big football game against Clemson — shows they’re playing hard to land him. This is a pivotal moment for the program as they aim to build a championship-caliber roster for the future.

UNC sports gear up for a wild week ahead — football faces Clemson in a brutal early-season test, men’s soccer looks to turn draws into wins, women’s soccer takes on top-ranked Duke, golf heads to Nashville for their final tune-up before a break, volleyball hits the road against Nebraska and FGCU, and both tennis teams kick off fall at the ITA All-America Championships with big goals. Field hockey also seeks redemption before ACC play begins.

Beckham Black, the top-ranked 2027 point guard and younger brother of NBA star Anthony Black, is set to officially visit North Carolina this weekend — a major signal that the Tar Heels are all-in on landing him. Already drawing national attention for his elite EYBL play — averaging over 21 points per game with elite passing and scoring versatility — Beckham brings a proven track record, including two USA Basketball golds. With visits already under his belt to Texas and Florida, and new coach Michael Malone aggressively pursuing top talent, this recruitment could be one of the most pivotal in college hoops for the class of 2027.

The Tar Heels cruised past East Tennessee State in a dominant, drama-free win, building on their overseas opener and recent triumph. Jelani Thurman shined as top receiver with 4 catches for 71 yards and a TD, while Xavier Lewis added 2 sacks to his growing defensive impact. Demon June delivered three touchdowns near the goal line, proving his value as a short-yardage weapon. But not all was perfect — throwback uniforms flopped (and weren’t even real), and QB Billy Edwards Jr. showed flashes but struggled with deep passes. Next up: Clemson — a true test of where this team truly stands early in the season.

UNC’s defense is flying high early this season, ranking top five nationally with just six and a half points allowed per game, thanks to a dominant front led by Xavier Lewis and Jaylen Harvey—despite injuries looming. But the offense’s inability to control time of possession is wearing down that unit, while third-down woes keep opponents on the field too long. Still, with Clemson’s offense cratering and other teams underperforming, UNC could sneak into an eight-and-four season if they fix their offensive inefficiencies.

Clemson’s starting QB, Christopher Vizzina, is sidelined with an elbow injury and won’t play this Saturday against North Carolina — leaving freshman Tait Reynolds in the spotlight for his first career start. Reynolds, who’s seen more game time than Vizzina this season, has flashed potential but struggled to move the offense consistently, failing to throw a touchdown and often ending drives with punts or field goals. With Clemson needing a win after back-to-back losses — including a tough defeat to LSU — the pressure mounts on Reynolds and head coach Dabo Swinney. North Carolina shouldn’t expect turnovers, but controlling field position will be critical. If Reynolds can’t lead the Tigers to victory at home, it could severely impact their season momentum and Swinney’s future plans.

UNC crushed ETSU 35-3 in a dominant home opener, improving to 2-0 as they showcased explosive offense and resilient defense. Jelani Thurman sparked the attack with a 24-yard TD catch, while UNC’s defense stifled ETSU’s drives despite the Buccaneers holding the ball for over 33 minutes. A lightning delay didn’t change the outcome, and though ETSU managed a field goal, UNC’s offense scored five touchdowns — up from last week’s one — signaling progress. The real test comes next: Clemson awaits, and this win is just the beginning.
