We have some advice for you as the college basketball offseason continues to roll on...

Don't blink, because you'll likely miss a lot!

It's been quite the day in Chapel Hill in terms of news. Neoklis Avdalas got the day rolling by becoming Michael Malone's first transfer portal addition, and shortly after, Kim English's addition to the coaching staff was announced. Jarin Stevenson had Tar Heel fans jumping for joy with his decision to return for his senior season, while the news of UNC parting ways with Dylan Mingo still has fans absolutely shook!

Oh, and let's not forget how UNC has a top-tier transfer target on campus and that Derek Dixon committed to play for the guy we all expected to be coaching the Tar Heels next season!

But wait, there's more!

Just two days after entering the transfer portal (another shocking move considering he stated his intention of returning to Chapel Hill next season), Luka Bogavac has found a new home.

Luka Bogavac commits to Oklahoma State

A change of heart led him to move quickly, securing a landing spot at Oklahoma State. He will now head to the Big 12 in hopes of helping the Cowboys improve upon a disappoint 20-15 record this past season (including 6-12 in conference play).

Bogavac appeared in all 33 games for the Tar Heels last season, splitting time between the starting lineup and a reserve role. He averaged 24.3 minutes, 9.8 points, 2.5 rebounds, and 2.2 assists per game, shooting 40.2 percent from the field and just under 35% from beyond the arc.

While the hope was that Bogavac would return and be a quality rotation piece for the Tar Heels to work with, he'll now head elsewhere to continue his college basketball career. North Carolina is also pivoting in the transfer portal, with three confirmed departures thus far amid the portal craziness.
