"He's a really powerful skate who can close out really effectively.". It was a long wait, but @Canes GM Eric Tulsky explained why K'andre Miller was a fit for Carolina once the deal became official, and more #Canes notes from the first day of free agency. #raiseup

RT @MarkBergin_: UNC picks RFK Racing President Steve Newmark as its next athletics director. He will succeed long-time AD Bubba Cunningha….

I'm told this move was lead by Chancellor Lee Roberts. Newmark is a Chapel Hill native and was on the search committee that assisted in hiring Belichick. UNC has been trying to reposition itself for the new landscape and now is confident in its position for the future.

#UNC is hiring NASCAR RFK racing president Steve Newmark to help run its revenue sports immediately and transition to Director of Athletics role in 2026. Bubba Cunningham is signing a contract extension and will transition into a senior advisor role.

Hearing a major announcement is coming today from #UNC athletics and how it's structured. A new role being created to help run football and basketball to help UNC succeed in the modern landscape. @WRAL.

Checking out this article as the #Canes trade for Keith Primeau's son, Cayden. He's an AHL goalie for the Canadiens org. In 2000 Carolina traded Keith Primeau in exchange for Rod Brind'Amour. #RaiseUp

Saw a lot of the new #Canes draft picks today at development camp. Sweden's Filip Ekberg was living the dream days after getting drafted. 2024 2nd and 3rd round picks Dominik Badinka and Noel Fransen are getting closer to making an actual impact. #RaiseUp

Check out full #canes draft coverage from myself and @murphsturph on @WRALSportsFan with full press conferences from Tulsky and Yorke.

"Being able to trade back and accumulate more picks and really maximize the value of our draft. I don't think it could have gone any better than it did.". Canes associate GM Darren Yorke with about as @Canes of a draft as it gets and that's a good thing. #RaiseUp

By my count since 2022, 19 of the #Canes last 32 draft picks have been Russian. Still one pick to go in 2025. #raiseup.

"We have several players we like in this part of the draft.". Hurricanes front office doing what they do, trading out of the first round for the third time in 5 years. Here's a recap from day 1 of the #NHLDraft at the #Canes headquarters #raiseup

A look inside the @Canes draft headquarters in Morrisville at the Lenovo executive briefing center. Media are in the room next door. #raiseup

The morning after getting drafted by the Brooklyn Nets, @powellxdrake stopped by youth camps at @UNC_Basketball and @ChargerAthletes. He's a hometown hero and ready to begin his NBA career. I sat down with him at his family's home last night. Full story

RT @HighSchoolOT: Pittsboro → Chapel Hill → Brooklyn. Read more on Drake Powell's career, hear from his high school coach Matt Brown on 99….

Drake Powell is the rare player I've gotten to cover in high school and at UNC. Tonight he hopes to hear his name called in the 1st round of the #nbadraft2025. I made a documentary about his senior year of H.S. and also wrote about it in depth here.

The draft often begins with Triangle hoops and this year is no different. Emptying my notebook here with Mark Bergin. I’ll be on local draft coverage as well tomorrow on @WRAL.

Came away very impressed by @CoachWadeNCSU staff. Lot of self-made grinders, former team managers extremely loyal to their head coach. There's a chip on the shoulder, but also a very analytical approach. #WPN @PackMensBball #NCState

I worked on Father's day but it didn't feel like it thanks to an incredible US Open and my kids making my morning. Breakfast in bed and a Pre-K Q&A show they know me well. Maybe too well.

"Raleigh's been such a great city to me. I just wanted to give back to this community as much as I could.". @MiamiDolphins and former @PackFootball star Bradley Chubb spent his father's day with several current pack players running a free camp @Astronaut
