The North Carolina men’s basketball program is in the midst of what will likely be remembered as the worst of any of Roy Williams’ first 17 seasons as head coach in Chapel Hill. And even though the Tar Heels’ downward spiraling season is difficult to watch, there are brighter days on the horizon; namely, their 2020 recruiting class that ranks third in the nation.
North Carolina boasts three 5-star prospects in the class, and five players in the top-60 of the 247Sports Composite. The group of incoming freshmen is highlighted by 5-stars Day’Ron Sharpe, Walker Kessler and Caleb Love, a trio that’s likely to receive substantial playing time in year one with the Tar Heels.
