NEWS—Henri Veesaar is leaving UNC and intends to stay in the NBA Draft, source told @CBSSports. Avgd 17.0 pts, 8.7 rebs, shot ~42% from 3. Big domino on this NCAA draft declaration deadline day. Veesaar a potential 1st-rounder but will leave a big NIL💰 on the table as a result

Thank you Cam! 💙🫡🫡😈

The issue for Carolina: It no longer has a center and there are precious few available who could decently fill the void left by Veesaar. UNC's outlook changes significantly as a result. A huge stay-or-go swing in this year's cycle. @Isaac__Trotter w/ more: cbssports.com/college-basket…

By the way, multiple schools tried to lure Henri Veesaar into the portal in the past few weeks by offering him at least $6 million, per multiple sources. UNC's NIL negotiations never approached that range, but the Heels definitely could've cleared $4 million had he opted to stay.

Henri Veesaar staying in the NBA Draft is devastating for UNC. The 7-foot junior averaged 17.0 PPG, 8.7 RPG, and 1.2 BPG on 61/43/62 splits at the most valuable position in college basketball right now. He was without a doubt in line to have a monster senior season.

Arizona’s Koa Peat announces he’s declaring for the NBA draft.

Next stop: Louisville! Everybody knows where the party is at on the first Saturday of May. There’s nothing like the Kentucky Derby. Thrilled to join our amazing crew at NBC Sports in their 26th presentation of an institution. Pumped be at Churchill Downs! nbcsports.com/pressbox/press…

Crap! Great guy & great CBB Player, was so hoping to see him as a Tar Heel one more year, but I hope he does great in NBA. This is now a BIG hole for new coach Malone to fill on UNC roster.

@ryanhammer09 It really stinks when a bad call becomes a historic moment - that was such a big spot for refs to blow it!

What if the refs granted Memphis this timeout back in 2023? FAU goes home in round 1 & no Final Four? Does Dusty May ever get the Michigan job? Michigan doesn't get their national title?

Ahead of tonight's draft, Fernando Mendoza is launching the Mendoza Family Fund to fight multiple sclerosis, a disease that afflicts his mom. Fernando is personally committing $500,000 to MS research at the University of Miami in his hometown. nationalmssociety.org/how-you-can-he…
