UNC Basketball: Paulo Banchero discusses recruitment, possible reclass

One of the hottest high school basketball players in the nation is ‘seriously considering’ a reclassification into the class of 2020.

“There are a lot of benefits to moving up to 2020,” Banchero told USA Today. “The biggest is just that it takes off a year of wear and tear on your body. I’ve had coaches tell me that I could play right now; I don’t know about that, but I know I’ll be ready a year from now. There’s a lot to weigh out; I’m not saying I’m definitely gonna do it. I’m strongly considering it though.
