North Carolina gets five-star transfer Indya Nivar
The North Carolina women’s basketball program continues to build momentum heading into next season, this time by getting Stanford player Indya Nivar from the transfer portal.
It was announced Sunday evening that Nivar would return to her home state to lace up for UNC. Before committing to Stanford, Nivar was a five-star recruit out of Apex, North Carolina, spending one year before putting her name in the transfer portal. Nivar appeared in 35 games, averaging 3.2 points with an average of 12.5 minutes per game.
This is another excellent addition for Courtney Banghart, whose already been busy grabbing talent like Maria Gakdeng from Boston College. UNC also has some of the nation’s best recruits coming in the fall, such as five-star recruits Ciera Toomey and Lexi Donarski.
