Maxim Logue committed to North Carolina via the NCAA Transfer Portal, giving the Tar Heels another addition as their roster overhaul continues under new coach Michael Malone. The 6-foot-9 forward has two seasons of eligibility remaining.
Logue is the fourth transfer to commit to North Carolina this offseason, a sign of how much change has hit Chapel Hill after the school fired Hubert Davis and replaced him with Malone. The portal opened April 7 and closes April 21, though athletes do not have to pick a new school by that deadline.
Logue arrived from FAU after spending the previous season there, where he made 28 appearances and never started. He averaged 4.8 points and 3.1 rebounds in 11.2 minutes per game while shooting 67.4% from the field. He tried three 3-pointers and missed all three.
Before FAU, Logue spent his true freshman season at Oregon State, where he appeared in 21 games and averaged 6.6 minutes per game. Originally from Paris, France, he played for Paris Basketball in LNB Pro A before college and represented France at the 2023 U18 European Championships.
Malone comes to North Carolina after coaching in the NBA from 2001 to 2025 and leading the Denver Nuggets to the 2023 championship. In accepting the job, he called Carolina one of the most historic programs in college basketball and said he was honored to follow so many legends in Chapel Hill. He added that he knows from the many Tar Heels in the NBA how special the Carolina Basketball Family is and that he will do everything he can to continue UNC's championship legacy while preparing players for professional careers and life after basketball.
North Carolina still has time to keep adding pieces before the portal window closes, but Logue’s move already shows the direction of the program: faster, younger and built through the transfer market. For a team trying to reset under a new coach, the next names may matter almost as much as the one already in hand.
