Earlier this month, I reported that Tony Grimes, the five-star Virginia Beach cornerback in the 2021 class, was going to graduate from high school early and join UNC this year, rather than in 2021.

• Grimes goes from being the 7th-ranked player in the 2021 class per the 247Sports Composite to the 48th-ranked player in the 2020 class, a reflection of how much stronger the ‘20 class was than the ‘21 class — Grimes’ actual number rating, and thus his effect on a class’ ranking, is the same.
