UNC Lands Prized Recruit Cole Anthony in Much-Needed Boost for Tar Heels

One of the top recruiting dominos left on the board fell on Tuesday as five-star point guard Cole Anthony pledged for North Carolina. The son of former NBA guard Greg Anthony announced his choice on ESPN's Get Up show.

Anthony, a New York native who finished his high school career at Oak Hill Academy in Virginia, is generally regarded as the top point guard in the 2019 class. He is a major addition from the Tar Heels, who are set to lose five of their top six players to graduation and the pros, including Coby White, the team’s primary ball-handler.
