After 5-star small forward Precious Achiuwa committed to Memphis on Friday, many thought that North Carolina’s 2019 recruiting class was finished. That may not be the case, though, according to multiple college basketball insiders and recruiting analysts.
In light of the recent coaching shake-up at Michigan that saw John Beilein leave Ann Arbor for the Cleveland Cavaliers, top-50 prospect Jalen Wilson asked to be released from his letter of intent. Upon his release from the school, Wilson plans to reopen his recruitment, and will be immediately eligible to play for whatever program he chooses.
If Michigan doesn’t grant his release — a move that is not expected and would be a black eye on the program, considering the circumstances — Wilson would have to sit out a year before playing at another school.
