D’Marco Dunn already hearing from teams in transfer portal

Former UNC basketball guard D’Marco Dunn is already hearing from teams in the transfer portal.

D’Marco Dunn became the seventh North Carolina player to enter the transfer portal, making his decision hours before Thursday’s deadline.

After committing to North Carolina as a four-star recruit, Dunn spent two seasons with the program but never found a role. Coming off the bench, Dunn saw limited playing time and appeared in 50 games over the past two seasons. With his decision to enter the portal, he will have a new home next season and he’s already hearing from a number of programs.

Per Jon Rothstein, Dunn has heard from Penn State, Georgia Tech, Seton Hall, Texas, Arizona, Utah and Cal among others.

Coming out of high school, Dunn was known as a solid shooter from the perimeter. He could have brought that to a Tar Heels’ team that struggled in that area. But after UNC recruited Cormac Ryan and added another guard, Simeon Wilcher, Dunn would be fighting for minutes again this season.

So a transfer makes sense for him in that regard.
