UNC lands its 3rd commit of the day with experienced center out of nowhere

While all the attention was on the backcourt additions, UNC was also making moves in the frontcourt!

The offseason for the UNC basketball program went from being insanely busy to incredibly quiet, almost too quiet.

Well, that all changed on Tuesday when a flurry of moves came in, as three transfers pledged their commitments to North Carolina.

First, it was Terrence Brown (who was a known high-priority target for UNC), followed by Matt Able, the former NC State standout.

Shortly after Able announced his decision, UNC snuck in another commitment.

Maxim Logue commits to North Carolina

The Tar Heels added some much-needed frontcourt depth, securing a commitment from former Florida Atlantic big man Maxim Logue. A native of France, Logue will have two seasons of college eligibility to work with.

A a 6-9, 232-pound post player with a reported 7-foot-4 wingspan, Logue not only brings collegiate experience but national experience as well. He competed for France's national teams for three years before heading to FAU, as he heads to Chapel Hill with plenty of high-level game experience under his belt.

While this past season was hampered due to injury, Logue had some strong performances in his limited action. He recorded 16 points and 10 rebounds against Charlotte, his best pure statistical outing of the season, as he's a guy who features a ton of athleticism and provides a physical presence in the post.

Now, before you all panic, no, this is not a Henri Veesaar replacement! In fact, the Tar Heels are still trying to convince Veesaar to return for his senior season, but in the event that he does elect to start his professional basketball career, the Tar Heels need frontcourt depth to help fill the void.

Logue does just that, adding another quality big man for Michael Malone to not only used within his regular rotation, but hopefully help take his game to the next level in the process.

If he can stay healthy, which was a challenge this season at FAU, Logue might just be one the sneakiest additions that any team in the country has made this offseason.

The talent is there, it's just a matter of it all coming togtether for the international big man.
