While North Carolina and Indiana basketball spend most of the season in different regions of the country, both programs seem to meet when it comes to the recruiting trail, and once again that storyline pops up.
Whether it be point guards, wings, or forwards, both programs seem to go down to the wire when it comes to certain players, with the Tar Heels coming out on top more often than not.
Headlined by the 2002 recruitment of Sean May and in 2007 with Tyler Zeller, the Tar Heels were able to land both big men despite Indiana’s pressure to secure the in-state five-star bigs.
