UNC Basketball Center Ven-Allen Lubin Trending to NC State

However, they were able to see one of their former players at least twice this coming season.

Center Ven-Allen Lubin made a surprising decision to enter the transfer portal almost at the last minute, and he had the intentions of returning to North Carolina. But it seems as if this ship is sailed and now he could join an in-state program.

The NC State picked up a crystal ball forecast for Lubin on Friday, which comes from Cory Smith from NC State from Pack Pride. The prediction came on Friday morning and it is not the first time that the Wolfpack was connected to Lubin.

The 6-foot 8, 230 pound gubin developed into a starter from UNC in the middle over the course of the season and ended the 2024-25 campaign on average 8.7 points and 5.5 rebounds per game. He appeared in 37 games and started 20 for the Tar Heels. Lubin had a strong end in the regular season and scored double -digit points in his last 11 games.
