Sacha Killeya-Jones will not be transferring to North Carolina.

Multiple sources confirmed to Inside Carolina on Saturday that the Tar Heels are no longer pursuing the 6-10 Kentucky transfer.

Killeya-Jones took visits to N.C. State and Wake Forest this past week, per a source, and had been aiming to visit UNC - until the Tar Heels withdrew from his recruitment.

More than 30 schools made initial contact when he announced his transfer last month, and he trimmed that list to a group of 10: Arizona State, Clemson, Georgetown, Nevada, N.C. State, Notre Dame, Pittsburgh, Texas, UNC, and Wake Forest.

UNC contacted him soon after he received his release and an offer from Roy Williams followed shortly thereafter.

North Carolina projects to have one scholarship available for the 2018-19 season, with four post players on the roster - senior Luke Maye, and sophomores Garrison Brooks, Brandon Huffman, and Sterling Manley. UNC has no post players among its three-man incoming freshman class, and none committed yet in the rising senior high school class.

This was actually the second time the Tar Heel head coach offered Killeya-Jones a scholarship. Killeya-Jones was a McDonald’s All-American at Lynchburg (Va.) Episcopal, ranked No. 23 in the Class of 2016 by the 247 Sports Composite. He committed to Virginia during his junior year of high school, but decommitted six months later. His second recruitment ultimately came down to North Carolina - which was in the midst of the unresolved NCAA investigation - and Kentucky.

Following two seasons at Kentucky, he opted to transfer and received his full release on April 9.

He averaged 3.3 points and 2.9 rebounds in 13.7 minutes per game as a sophomore for the Wildcats this past season. He will have two years of eligibility after sitting out the 2018-19 season.

"The past 2 years at Kentucky have been an amazing journey and I want to thank all of my coaches, teammates and fans who made it possible," Killeya-Jones said in a statement. "After much deliberation with my family, I have decided that it is in my best interest to ask for my release and explore other opportunities at this time.”

Kentucky coach John Calipari released the following statement when the transfer was announced: "It's never easy for me seeing a player go, especially when it's someone you've seen grow as much as Sacha has and someone you want to continue to coach. I truly believe Sacha was just starting to find out who he is and that his best days are ahead of him. I still believe that whether he's here or someone else."
