North Carolina basketball officially has their first verbal commitment for the class of 2021. On Saturday, forward Dontrez Styles committed to play for the Tar Heels. The announcements comes less than one month after Roy Williams officially extended a scholarship offer. Styles announced the decision via a live stream on Instagram.
Styles is a consensus four-star recruit from Kinston, North Carolina. Currently listed at 6-7 and 205-pounds, a strong junior season caught the attention from college coaches. All three main recruiting services we follow at Tar Heel Blog list him as a top-70 recruit, however that is well above where he started prior to last season.
