Roy Williams has been hitting the recruiting trail as hard as he ever has before these days, and we’ve mostly seen the fruits of his labor pay off. However, this particular situation isn’t one of those times. Yesterday 2021 five-star power forward Paolo Banchero took to Twitter to announce that he cut his list down to six teams that he wanted to focus on for the remainder of his recruitment.
Arizona, Duke, Gonzaga, Kentucky, Tennessee, and Washington are all teams that made the cut, which means that UNC is officially out. Banchero took an official visit to Chapel Hill the same weekend of Late Night With Roy Williams this past fall, and Williams had made some visits to see him play since ethen.
