Zayden High Not Enrolled at UNC for Season

Zayden High, a sophomore forward for the North Carolina Tar Heels, is no longer enrolled at UNC, effectively ruling him out for the 2024-25 basketball season. The university confirmed this development without providing details on the reasons for his departure. High, who played 23 games last season and averaged 0.8 points and 1.1 rebounds, was expected to take on a larger role this season, especially following the loss of other key players. His absence leaves the Tar Heels with only 11 scholarship players as they prepare for a competitive season, necessitating adjustments in the team's forward rotation. Coach Hubert Davis will need to strategize to address the gap left by High, who had shown potential during his freshman year despite limited playing time. The Tar Heels are set to open their season on November 4 against Elon.
