The Michael Malone era at North Carolina is off to an interesting start. The unfortunate news from Chapel Hill is that 5-star commit Dylan Mingo is parting ways with the university and officially reopening his recruitment to find a new team.
While this news is a major letdown, there may be good news coming soon. Miikka Muurinen, a 6-foot-10 Serbian power forward, has yet to commit to a team next season, and it could favor North Carolina when he does announce.
Miikka is ranked as a 4-star on most recruiting websites and would be an excellent addition to next year’s roster, especially considering the news that Caleb Wilson will be headed to the NBA officially.

Cam Wilder, a coach of an AAU team called RWE, replied to the commitment of Neoklis Avdalas with an interesting quote. “I’m not gon say who else finna be going to UNC .. but the heels are back,” he replied.

It turns out, Miikka Muurinen had played for RWE and was coached by none other than Wilder, making Tar Heel fans confident that Muurinen was the player Wilder was alluding to in his post…
