After a 2020 recruiting haul that saw North Carolina bring in three 5-star prospects and the No. 3-ranked class in the nation, Roy Williams and the Tar Heels are hard at work on the class of 2021.
They’ve already extended scholarship offers to five high school juniors, all of which are ranked within the top-35 of the class. Among them is Chet Holmgren, a 7-foot, 190-pound big man with a versatile skill set that allows him to dribble, shoot, block shots and affect the opposition with his long, wiry frame. His length and wingspan help him in the paint on both ends of the court, but he’ll be even more effective once he gains additional weight.
