This article about UNC recruiting focuses on the pursuit of Tyler Nickel and Cam Whitmore.
The writer here thinks that Villanova leads for Whitmore and Virginia Tech leads for Nickel. And while Davis is just getting started, recruiting has fallen off at UNC for some time now, partly due to the massive series of scandals and partly due perhaps to Ol’ Roy Williams not adapting to the modern game.
Whatever it is, at the moment UNC is not the juggernaut it once was in recruiting. At his peak, Dean Smith rarely lost a player from North Carolina that he wanted and basically controlled South Carolina and a good bit of Virginia too.
