UNC Basketball: Tar Heels 5-star target sustains injury, plans to cut list

The North Carolina basketball program remains in the hunt for class of 2020 prospect Bryce Thompson, a 5-star combo guard ranked 20th in the nation according to the latest 247Sports Composite.

Thompson, who’s got scholarship offers from Arkansas, Houston, Kansas, Michigan State, North Carolina, Notre Dame, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Texas and Texas A&M, among others, hit a bump in the road when he sustained an injury at the USA Basketball Junior National Team minicamp in Colorado Springs. The injury, a hyperextended left elbow, is expected to keep him off the court for the entire month of August.
