When the calendar turned to December 2018, the University of North Carolina had one commitment ranked in 247Sports’ top 50 for the state. Havelock WR Welton Spottsville headlined a group of guys who have largely been encouraged to look elsewhere to play in college, as has been discussed ad nauseum on this website.
As late as the first day of the Early Signing Period, only Khafre Brown represented his state’s flagship university in the top 15 of the rankings, checking in at #9.
With 247Sports’ reveal of their final rankings for the 2019 class, the Heels now look a lot more formidable just ahead of the last Signing Day of this cycle.
