UNC basketball offers 2026 small forward
The North Carolina Tar Heels continue to add to their 2026 recruiting board as they seek their first commitment for the class. There's a long ways to go in the class so there shouldn't be any panic and on Tuesday, they added another name.
The Tar Heels offered four-star small forward Maximo Adams after his impressive performance at the Nike EYBL Peach Jam last week. Adams was a standout at the event as the Tar Heels were in attendance, and with Hubert Davis and the staff liking what they saw, an offer was the next step.
Adams is a Sierra Canyon product out in California and is quickly improving his draft stock. He's up to over 30 offers now in his recruitment with UNC, Maryland, Kentucky, Purdue and Michigan State all offering this week.
The 6-foot-6, 210-pound small forward is ranked No. 40 nationally, the no. 17 small forward and the No. 6 player in the state of California per the 247Sports recruiting rankings. With a recent jump in production this Summer, the attention is now there for Adams as evidenced by these offers.
For North Carolina, he's now a new name to keep an eye on and he's the 14th player to earn an offer from UNC. He's also the seventh small forward to earn a UNC offer as the Tar Heels are hoping to address that position.

Fenway Park Concession Workers Go On Strike Ahead Of Red Sox-Dodgers Series
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. As fans flock to Fenway Park this weekend for a midsummer series between the Los Angeles Dodgers and Boston Red Sox, they're being asked to not purchase any food or drinks during the three games in America's oldest ballpark. The request comes from Fenway Park concession workers, who officially went on strike at noon ET on Friday. Members of UNITE HERE Local 26 took to the picket lines on Friday, as they implore food services company Aramark to provide "living wages, guardrails on technology, and R-E-S-P-E-C-T!" BOSTON, MASSACHUSETTS - JUNE 29:A beer vendor walks through the stands during a game between the Toronto Blue Jays and the Boston Red Sox on June 29, 2025 at Fenway Park in Boston, Massachusetts. BOSTON, MASSACHUSETTS - JUNE 29:A beer vendor walks through the stands during a game between the Toronto Blue Jays and the Boston Red Sox on June 29, 2025 at Fenway Park in Boston, Massachusetts."We're underpaid and under-appreciated," Melquis Valdera, a Fenway concessions worker for nine years, said in a union Facebook post. "Aramark expects the fans to cover our wages and that's not right. They make millions and we're simply asking for our fair share." The strike involves Aramark employees of both Fenway Park and MGM Music Hall, a live music venue adjacent to the ballpark that is also owned by Fenway Sports Group. The strike is planned to last three days, through the final game of the series on Sunday. MGM Music Hall also has a Riley Green concert scheduled for Friday night. In a reply on X, the workers' union asked fans to "Enjoy the game, don't buy food or drink!" The union has been negotiating a new deal with Aramark throughout the year but on Wednesday set a 48-hour strike deadline earlier for Friday. Aramark said in a statement earlier this week that the company was disappointed in the strike deadline and that contingency plans are in place to ensure fans at Fenway Park will have the ability to purchase food and drink during the games this weekend.
