Freshman Blanca Thomas gives Tar Heels 6-5 stretch-five with impressive upside

Posted Nov 1, 2024
It’s not a stretch to say that the No. 15 North Carolina women's basketball team will have players who can stretch the court at nearly every position. One of the newcomers who adds to that dynamic, even though she’s the tallest player on the 2024-25 UNC roster at 6-foot-5, is Charlotte four-star freshman Blanca Thomas — the rare stretch five.
