Top-shelf talents continue trickling into the transfer portal ahead of the May 1 deadline. Some seem to fit the description of what the UNC basketball coaches must be seeking to help replace former five-year starting center Armando Bacot.

And it's been days since word got out about his plan to visit Arkansas this weekend.

Meanwhile, there had been no reports of a UNC basketball visit in the works. The Field of 68 national insider Jeff Goodman changed that on Thursday, though, as he reported, albeit without specifying dates, that Aidoo will head to Carolina"after the trip to Fayetteville." Tennessee transfer Jonas Aidoo has already visited Baylor, will go to Arkansas this weekend and UNC after the trip to Fayetteville, source toldOn Sunday night, Goodman noted rumblings of only four teams"heavily in the mix": UNC, Baylor, Arkansas, and Alabama.
