With the NBA draft behind us and UNC’s three freshman recruits stepping foot on campus this week, there is an undeniable sense of excitement about the talent that will take the court for the Heels next season. This is especially true with recruit Nassir Little who comes as the most highly ranked recruit since Harrison Barnes committed to Roy Williams’ program in 2010. There is no doubt that Little is an OAD (one-and-done) talent. If he desires to leave school after one year, he will likely be a lottery pick next summer.
This season, 19 D-I “OAD” freshmen kept their names in the NBA Draft and 13 were taken in the first round.
