Posted Jun 30, 2021
New UNC point guard commit Seth Trimble rose from No. 101 to No. 45 in large part due to his terrific basketball acumen. Trimble flat out knows how to run a team and is a high level facilitator and an impressive playmaker. Power forward Cam Whitmore jumped from No. 109 to No. 30. And 7-footer Dereck Lively moved from No. 42 all the way up to No. 3. (247 Sports)
