UNC Recruiting: Roy Williams, Tar Heels in the lead for five-star center?

The University of North Carolina men’s basketball program is coming off its highest-rated recruiting class since 2012 when the Tar Heels brought in a four-man class led by Marcus Paige and Brice Johnson. And it’s the first time that the Tar Heels have reeled in multiple five-star players since Justin Jackson and Theo Pinson committed to North Carolina in 2014.

Fans are understandably excited about the Tar Heels’ 2018 freshman class, largely in part to the commitments of five-star prospects Nassir Little and Coby White. Both are intelligent, dynamic players in their own respect. Also in the fold this year is four-star point guard Rechon Black, an extraordinary passer with uncanny size for his position.
