New York TimesNew North Carolina coach Bill Belichick turned to a familiar part of the country to add his first commitment from the transfer portal Monday. The six-time Super Bowl winner said Monday on “The Pat McAfee Show” that UNC has players from the transfer portal “coming in pretty much every day this week” as he assembles his roster for 2025.
