Matt Able, a 6-foot-6 guard from NC State, has made a significant move by transferring to the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, becoming the first player to do so since World War II. This transfer is notable given the rarity of players switching from NC State to UNC, a rivalry that has historically discouraged such moves. During his time with the Wolfpack, Able averaged 8.8 points and 3.4 rebounds per game, showcasing his potential as a valuable addition to the Tar Heels. His decision to join UNC comes under the guidance of new head coach Michael Malone, who brings a wealth of professional coaching experience. The last three players to transfer from NC State to UNC were Bernie Mock, Fred Swartzberg, and Bones McKinney, each of whom had varying levels of success at UNC. Able's aspirations include advancing his basketball career, potentially eyeing the NBA.
