The transfer portal this offseason has already been a very active one in college basketball and that’s going to continue over the next few weeks as well. For the North Carolina Tar Heels, they are losing six players to the portal, and now have to fill some needs.
On Tuesday, the second of those six portal entrants has found a new home.
Forward Justin McKoy announced on Twitter that he is committed to Hawaii and will continue his college career there. After two years at Virginia and then the last two at North Carolina, McKoy is now set to head to Honolulu to finish his career.

McKoy appeared in 41 total games in two years at North Carolina, starting one game with that coming in the season finale against Duke this season.
After appearing in 30 games in 2021-22, McKoy’s playing time decreased to just 11 last season. Finding a new fit and a place where he could earn more playing time was a key point for McKoy to enter the transfer portal.
McKoy averaged 1.7 points, and 1.2 rebounds while shooting 46.2 percent from the field in his limited playing time this season.
Fellow forward Tyler Nickel committed to Virginia Tech last week.
