UNC Basketball Continues Search for Post Help as Transfer Target Jonas Aidoo Commits to Arkansas

The UNC Tar Heels basketball team’s search for help in the post took another hit as Tennessee transfer Jonas Aidoo committed to play his final season at Arkansas under former Kentucky head coach John Calipari. Aidoo, a proven All-SEC talent, was a prime target for the Tar Heels as they looked to fill the void left by Armando Bacot’s departure.

Standing at 6-foot-11 and 240 pounds, Aidoo averaged 11.4 points, 7.3 rebounds, and 1.8 blocks per game for the Volunteers, earning a spot on the SEC All-Defensive Team. His decision to join Calipari at Arkansas came as a surprise, especially after reports suggested he was considering a visit to Chapel Hill to meet with the Tar Heels.

With Aidoo off the table, UNC head coach Hubert Davis and his staff now turn their attention to Rutgers transfer Clifford Omoruyi as their last primary target at the center position. Omoruyi, a four-year giant, is set to visit the Tar Heels this week, giving UNC fans hope for a strong addition to their frontcourt.

Despite missing out on Aidoo, the Tar Heels remain active in the transfer portal as they continue to search for reinforcements. Stay tuned to All Tar Heels on SI for the latest updates on UNC basketball news as they look to bolster their roster for the upcoming season.
