Nassir Little earlier this month became the first top-10 prospect to commit to North Carolina in more than three years, but his college choice came amid complications: Little is connected to the FBI’s years-long investigation into college basketball recruiting.
Nonetheless, UNC coach Roy Williams said on Tuesday that he is not worried about Little’s connection to the case.
“I’m not involved,” Williams said, referencing the FBI investigation. “I think if we’re still recruiting them, I still think that we feel good about it, yes.”
Williams is prohibited by NCAA rules from discussing specific players he’s recruiting, until those players sign their national letters of intent.
