On Tuesday morning, 5-star class of 2019 prospect Cole Anthony announced his commitment to the University of North Carolina, putting an end to one of the most heated and highly anticipated recruitments in college basketball over the past year.
The Tar Heels’ 2019 recruiting class ranking moved up from 50th to 14th with their latest commitment — that according to the 247Sports team rankings — showing the substantial impact of the top-5 recruit’s pledge to UNC.
What some are questioning, though, is the impact that Anthony’s commitment might have on current UNC target and 4-star point guard Anthony Harris, a former Virginia Tech commit that reopened his recruitment upon the departure of head coach Buzz Williams.
