To say that Tar Heel fans are excited about the arrival of incoming freshman Nassir Little would be a tremendous understatement. Over the last few months, Little has become one of the most highly anticipated freshman in the history of the North Carolina basketball program.
He’s certainly brought as much fan fare with him as I can remember a player bringing in recent years, and that includes Harrison Barnes. Yes, it’s gotten to that level. And maybe it’s at least partially because of the team’s recent difficulties recruiting five-star players.
The program hadn’t signed a top-five prospect since Barnes in 2010.
