Point guard Jeremiah Francis was the first player to commit to North Carolina’s 2019 recruiting class that would end up being Top 10 by the time it was finished. The Ohio native played on the same High School team as Sterling Manley and like the big center, Francis saw his season hampered with injuries.
The 6-foot, 210-pound Francis saw his stock drop a bit in high school as he suffered two knee injuries and it felt like everything that could go wrong, went wrong. But the Tar Heels didn’t give up on Francis and honored his scholarship welcoming him to the team this year.
