Roy Williams and the North Carolina basketball program have had a big week, securing a commitment from one of the top front court players in the class of 2020 in Walker Kessler.
The 7-foot, 245-pound Kessler is joined in the Tar Heels’ 2020 class by long-time pledge and top-20 big man Day’Ron Sharpe. The pair of 5-star centers give North Carolina the most formidable front court duo joining the college ranks next year. They also represent the first two 5-star bigs to commit to the Tar Heels in the same recruiting cycle since Tyler Zeller and Ed Davis in 2008.
