UNC Basketball: This could be the next top-5 recruit to sign with UNC

Roy Williams and the North Carolina Tar Heels have earned two top-5 commitments over the past two recruiting cycles, and they’ve got a chance for a third in the class of 2020.

It was Nassir Little who joined the Tar Heels in 2018, marking the first consensus top-5 signee for the UNC basketball program since Harrison Barnes eight years prior. Cole Anthony committed to North Carolina the following year, making it two in a row. Now, the Tar Heels have a shot at another top-5 prospect, this time in the 2020 class.

Ziaire Williams, a 6-foot-9, 185-pound small forward out of Sierra Canyon High School in Chatsworth, California, has risen all the way to No.
