UNC Recruiting: Larry Fedora picked up his first high-profile recruit over the weekend

There’s no hiding that it’s been a difficult recruiting cycle so far for Larry Fedora and his UNC coaching staff. Coming off a 3-9 season, it’s been hard to get local elite talent excited about being Tar Heels, and the staff has missed on several of their highest-priority targets thus far. There’s plenty of time left until Signing Day, and a good start to the season would do wonders, but right now, it’s clear that UNC is working at a disadvantage with elite talent, particularly in the Carolinas, as players such as CJ Clark, Sam Howell, and Savion Jackson have spurned UNC despite the staff’s best efforts.
