UNC Basketball: Tar Heels vying for first top-5 recruiting class since 2012

Thanks to a pair of 5-star commitments over the past two weeks, and three overall in the class of 2020, Roy Williams and the North Carolina Tar Heels have the No. 3-ranked class in the country, and are vying for a top-5 recruiting haul for the first time since 2012.

It was nine recruiting cycles ago that Williams and company signed a quartet of 4-star players that truly didn’t look that great on paper, but aged considerably well thanks to four-year players Marcus Paige and Brice Johnson. In all fairness, though, the aforementioned duo was ranked too low coming out of high school.
