Former Arizona forward Henri Veesaar is joining Hubert Davis and transferring to North Carolina, according to ESPN's Jonathan Givony.
Veesaar spent the past two seasons with the Wildcats and broke out in 2024-25 with averages of 9.4 points, five rebounds, 1.3 assists, and 1.1 blocks across 37 games.
The 7-foot Estonian should be a valued addition to UNC's frontcourt, as the team currently doesn't possess a player taller than 6-foot-10.
The Tar Heels finished this past season sixth in the ACC after going 23-14 overall and 13-7 in conference play. They defeated San Diego State in the First Four to reach the NCAA Tournament before being eliminated in the first round by Ole Miss.
