Prior to the second weekend of the 2017 NCAA tournament, North Carolina's Luke Maye was a nobody.
Now, people are comparing him to Kevin Love.
When he committed to Roy Williams and the Tar Heels as a preferred walk-on in November 2014, it wasn't a big story. There was no hat ceremony for the 3-star recruit from Huntersville, North Carolina. (His dad actually broke the news to the Charlotte Observer.) In Bret Strelow's short piece for theFayetteville Observer on Maye's commitment, there was almost more space dedicated to the names of various other recruits North Carolina was targeting.
