Since receiving a commitment from Nassir Little in October of 2017, Roy Williams and the North Carolina Tar Heels have come up on the losing end of every 5-star wing recruitment they’ve been involved in. And it’s not that they haven’t cast a wide net over the past couple of years; they simply haven’t been able to get over the hump with any one of the prospects they’ve targeted in that time.
In 2019, it was IMG Academy’s Josh Green, Montverde Academy’s Precious Achiuwa and Keion Brooks of La Porte, Indiana. At one point, the Tar Heels appeared to have a pretty good shot at Green and Achiuwa, while Brooks never really felt like a guy headed to North Carolina.
