The North Carolina basketball program was one of the first to make a splash in the recruiting class of 2020, getting a commitment from 5-star center Day’Ron Sharpe. Sharpe was, of course, just a 4-star recruit at the time of his pledge to the Tar Heels, but has since moved up 50 spots and earned an additional star next to his name.
Roy Williams and the Tar Heels haven’t added to next year’s class in the 13 months since Sharpe’s commitment, but they’ve got over a dozen scholarship offers out to top-50 prospects in the class. And despite being eliminated from contention in the recruitment of 4-star small forward Cam’Ron Fletcher — the top-40 recruit chose Kentucky over the weekend — they’re battling some of the premier programs in college basketball for some of the most sought after prospects in the nation.
