🚨 7-Foot-9 GIANT Shocks the World—Ditches Duke for UNC! Tar Heel Nation Erupts Over Historic Commitment 🚨

 

CHAPEL HILL, N.C. — In one of the most astonishing recruiting flips in college basketball history, a towering 7-foot-9 phenom has sent shockwaves through the sport by ditching Duke to commit to their fiercest rival: the North Carolina Tar Heels.

 

Zion Harmon II, dubbed “The Sky Tower” by scouts, had been locked in as a Duke Blue Devils pledge for months. The generational talent was expected to anchor Duke’s 2025 class and instantly shift the balance of power in the ACC. But in a jaw-dropping social media post Thursday morning, Harmon announced he’s flipping to North Carolina—igniting Tar Heel Nation and leaving Duke fans stunned.

 

“I’ve prayed on it, talked with my family, and followed my heart,” Harmon posted. “I want to win championships, and there’s no better place to do that than Chapel Hill. I’m all in. Go Heels!”

 

Harmon is not only the tallest recruit in college basketball history but also one of the most uniquely skilled. Despite his size, he possesses elite footwork, a soft shooting touch, and the mobility of a much smaller player. NBA scouts have already projected him as a future lottery pick—and now, he’ll be donning Carolina blue.

 

UNC head coach Hubert Davis called the commitment “a moment that changes everything,” signaling that the Tar Heels are back in the driver’s seat of the college basketball world.

 

The decision instantly reconfigures the Duke-UNC rivalry and raises the stakes for the 2025-26 season. With Harmon now set to dominate for the Tar Heels, expectations in Chapel Hill are soaring—Final Four dreams just became reality.

 

From a Blue Devil lock to a Tar Heel legend in the making, Zion Harmon II has changed the game before even stepping on the court.
