Luke Maye stepped on the University of North Carolina’s campus as a preferred walk-on in the 2015 recruiting class. The Tar Heels were fresh off a Sweet 16 loss to Wisconsin but things were starting to feel like this team would be ready to contend for a title next season.
The 2015 recruiting class was made up of just Maye and former VCU commit Kenny Williams, a two-man class that was ranked 70th overall and 10th in the Atlantic Coast Conference. With Marcus Paige and Brice Johnson entering their freshman year, plus a 2014 recruiting class that was among the best in the country, UNC felt like it had the pieces to win it all even with just a two-man 2015 class.
