In a big boost for the Tar Heels' backcourt rebuild, guard Isaiah Denis has officially re-signed with North Carolina, the university announced Sunday. The move comes after Denis withdrew his name from the transfer portal on April 18, following a productive meeting with head coach Michael Malone and the coaching staff.

Denis was among the first UNC players to enter the portal when it opened on April 7, but after talks with the team, he decided to return for another season. The former four-star prospect was a key part of North Carolina's 2025 recruiting class, which also featured Caleb Wilson and Derek Dixon.

Last season, Denis appeared in 10 games, averaging 1.9 points and 0.6 rebounds while shooting 50% from the field. While those numbers may not jump off the page, the Tar Heels remain high on his potential and ability to provide valuable depth in the backcourt as they continue to reshape the roster.

For Tar Heels fans, this is a welcome sign of stability as the team looks to build chemistry and compete in the ACC. Whether you're gearing up for game day or just showing your support, there's no better way to celebrate than with the latest UNC gear—perfect for the upcoming season.
