Angelo Brizzi announced his commitment to the University of North Carolina on July 1, joining the Tar Heels program as a graduate transfer.
Standing 6‑foot‑3 and weighing 193 pounds, he brings a blend of size and skill that the coaching staff believes will immediately address the team’s need for experienced guard play, joining transfers Terrence Brown Jr., Matt Able and Neoklis Avdalas in a revamped backcourt.
A Strategic Addition
During his most recent season at the University of Buffalo he started 30 games, averaging 14.5 points, 2.8 rebounds and 1.8 assists while shooting 37.3 percent from three‑point range and converting 40.2 percent of his long‑range attempts.
His defensive contributions were reflected in a 91st‑national ranking for steal percentage and a total of 121 free‑throw makes, highlighting his reliability in clutch situations.
Coaches envision him as a microwave scorer off the bench, a combo guard capable of stretching the floor and creating offense for a Tar Heels roster that will feature ten newcomers.
