UNC Basketball: Roy Williams one of nation’s best recruiters

Roy Williams and the North Carolina Tar Heels have brought in some of the nation’s most talented high school basketball players over the past 16 years. From his first 5-star commit back in 2004, to the three 5-star prospects he signed in the class of 2020, Williams has rarely had a shortage of talent during his time in Chapel Hill.

Even during the prolonged NCAA investigation into paper classes that Williams and the athletic department had to endure for the better part of four years, the Hall-of-Fame head coach managed to reel in a couple of 5-star recruits and a handful of 4-stars, and won a national championship in 2017.
