Projecting UNC's 2016-17 Rotation After Mixtape Star Seventh Woods Commits

ESPN.com's Jeff Borzello noted UNC surprisingly beat out South Carolina for the talented player, while Georgetown was also in the running.

"Coach Roy Williams and his staff believed in me from Day 1 and UNC was my dream school growing up," Woods said after his commitment, per Reggie Rankin of ESPN.

Ranked the No. 41 overall player in the 2016 class by 247Sports, Woods first came into prominence as a 14-year-old freshman thanks to a mixtape that generated over 13 million views. The hype has slowed since then, but the athleticism on display is still very much there.
