North Carolina Checked All Of A.J. Beatty's Boxes

Posted Jun 11, 2019
A.J. Beatty announced Sunday he was going to be a Tar Heel after taking his official visit to UNC over the weekend. The 3-star, 6-foot-5 and 255-pound standout from Central Catholic High School in Pittsburgh, PA, could have gone to a lot of other schools. He has 33 offers, but UNC won out "because of the education, facilities and staff. I really liked how they ran things." (Tar Heel Illustrated)
