UNC Basketball: 5-star prospect talks recruitment, lauds Tar Heels

With the No. 3-ranked 2020 recruiting class already secured, Roy Williams and the North Carolina Tar Heels are working hard on the class of 2021 and beyond. They’ve already extended scholarship offers to a handful of 5-star targets in next year’s class, including Paulo Banchero and Patrick Baldwin, Jr., a pair of the nation’s top-ranked players at their respective positions.

Another one of their top targets in the 2021 class is Chet Holmgren, a 7-foot, 190-pound center out of Minnehaha Academy in Minneapolis, Minnesota. One of a half-dozen 5-star prospects that the Tar Heels have offered for next season, Holmgren is the second-ranked recruit in the nation, and first among players at his position.
