The UNC women’s basketball program is on the rise thanks to the nation’s No. 2-ranked recruiting class in 2021.
In her first season with the North Carolina women’s basketball program, head coach Courtney Banghart led the Tar Heels to just their second winning campaign over the past five years. Not only that, but she also managed to bring in a terrific freshman class in the fall of 2020 — including McDonald’s All-American Deja Kelly — despite not having a full year to recruit at her new post in Chapel Hill.
