North Carolina lands Henry, No. 2 recruit in '27 class
Demarcus Henry, the No. 2 senior in high school basketball, announced his commitment to North Carolina on Friday, giving first-year head coach Michael Malone a statement win days before his on-court tenure officially begins.
Henry is the program's highest-ranked recruit since No. 2 Cole Anthony committed to the Tar Heels in 2019, with only No. 1 Harrison Barnes in 2010 ranked higher than Henry among UNC recruits since the ESPN recruiting database started in 2007.
The younger brother of Ohio State wide receiver Chris Henry Jr. and the son of former NFL wideout Chris Henry, Demarcus Henry chose the Tar Heels over Arkansas, Louisville and Kentucky.
