    Share Zagsblog Share Zagsblog
    North Carolina on Wednesday officially announced the signing of four-star guards Isaiah Denis and Derek Dixon.

    The 6-foot-5 Denis from Davidson Day (NC) and the Team CP3 committed earlier this month, while the 6-3 Dixon of Gonzaga High School and Team Takeover pledged to UNC in September.

    “Both players are what we wanted and needed in our class of 2026,” head coach Hubert Davis said in a statement.

    “Isaiah is an athletic wing that can score on all three levels and will immediately give us the versatility needed out there on the floor. He’s a great student and it means something to him to play in his home state.

    “Derek is a complete basketball player that will make an immediate impact on the court, off the court and in the classroom. He has the ability to shoot, pass and defend at an elite level.

    “Both players have the skills to be outstanding players for the Tar Heels. We are thankful and blessed to have Isaiah and Derek and their families join the Carolina Basketball Family.”
