UNC basketball, Hubert Davis get recruit to help replace Drake Powell on 2025-26 roster
Hubert Davis is adding an international prospect to UNC basketball's 2025-26 roster, filling an area of need for the Tar Heels. Luke Bogavac, a 6-foot-5 Montenegrin wing, has committed to UNC, according to several reports. ESPN's Jonathan Givony first broke the news on May 31. Advertisement A 21-year-old player for SC Derby in the Montenegrin Basketball League and ABA League, Bogavac averaged 14.9 points on 45% shooting, including 40% from 3-point range, along with 3.6 rebounds and 2.3 assists per game in the 2024-25 season. ACC SCHEDULE: UNC basketball schedule 2025-26: Tar Heels will face these ACC teams UNC ROSTER: What to like about Seth Trimble, UNC basketball roster entering 2025-26 season Bogavac will be at least the ninth newcomer to join the Tar Heels, who have added five players via the transfer portal and three incoming freshmen. Kyan Evans (Colorado State), Jarin Stevenson (Alabama), Henri Veesaar (Arizona), Jonathan Powell (West Virginia) and Jaydon Young (Virginia Tech) are UNC's additions via the portal. Advertisement Caleb Wilson headlines the Tar Heels' 2025 recruiting class, which also includes guards Derek Dixon and Isaiah Denis. Luka Bogavac helps Hubert Davis, UNC basketball replace Drake Powell The addition of Bogavac will help the Tar Heels fill the gap left by Drake Powell, a 6-foot-6 wing who entered the 2025 NBA Draft after his freshman season in Chapel Hill. Bogavac scored 19 or more points in eight of his final 15 ABA games, dropping a season-high 27 points – with five 3-pointers – on April 25. He also had 24 points, including seven treys, on March 30. The addition gives Hubert Davis' roster some much-needed shooting and stability as a playmaker on the wing. As it stands, Bogavac figures to slide in as a starter in a lineup that could include Evans, senior leader Seth Trimble, Wilson and Veesaar.
