UNC Recruiting: Tar Heels showing interest in five-star prospect Simisola Shittu

The North Carolina basketball program got off to a good start with the class of 2018, snagging commitments from five-star combo guard Coby White and top-75 point guard Rechon Black, but things have been quiet of late.

A lot of that has to do with the time of year, given that many amateur players are heavily involved in AAU teams throughout the summer months, frequently traveling across the country for games and tournaments.

Still, since getting verbal commitments from Black and White in January and July of 2016, respectively, the Tar Heels’ class of 2018 has stood pat.
