Transfer Portal: Isaiah Evans Declares For NBA Draft, Henri Veesaar Undecided + NFL Draft
Reese, Pam and Alex discuss the biggest storylines heading into the 2026 NFL Draft in Detroit, including what to watch on draft night, the contrasting roster-building approaches of UNC and Duke in the transfer portal, fan reactions across both programs and whether Henri Veesaar will return to UNC or declare for the NBA Draft.
The 2026 NFL Draft begins tonight and runs from April 23-25, 2026, with the first round on Thursday, rounds two and three on Friday, and rounds four through seven on Saturday. The event is being held in Detroit, Michigan, as part of the NFL’s rotating host city format. What should we be looking for in the NFL Draft tonight?
Over the past week or so, Triangle college basketball programs have been active in the transfer portal, with North Carolina Tar Heels men's basketball and Duke Blue Devils men's basketball taking very different approaches to roster building. UNC has undergone a major roster overhaul, highlighted by a late surge that brought in Utah transfer Terrence Brown, NC State wing Matt Able and frontcourt addition Maxim Logue, while earlier adding Neoklis Avdalas. They also helped stabilize the roster by retaining Jarin Stevenson and getting Jaydon Young to withdraw from the portal. In contrast, Duke focused on retaining key pieces like Patrick Ngongba II and now Caleb Foster as Isaiah Evans declared for the NBA Draft. They also added John Blackwell and Drew Scharnowski for depth. How did Duke and UNC fans feel about these moves? Will Henri Veesaar return to UNC next season or enter the NBA Draft?
