Heels' elite class gets another big addition
Posted Oct 17, 2005
Coveted power forward Brandan Wright committed to North Carolina on Sunday afternoon, giving the Tar Heels another gem in their star-studded recruiting class. Wright, the nation's top power forward and No. 5 prospect overall according to Scout.com, gives the Tar Heels the top-ranked player at three different positions in the class of 2006. In addition to Wright, the Tar Heels have also landed Wayne Ellington (the top shooting guard) and Tywon Lawson (the country's highest-rated point guard).
