UNC hoops target Kevin Durant commits to Texas
Posted Jun 15, 2005
North Carolina had been the perceived leader for Kevin Durant. The Tar Heels were on track -- and still could be on track -- for one of the best recruiting classes of all time. They've already received commitments from the Class of 2006's top-rated shooting guard (Wayne Ellington) and top-rated point guard (Tywon Lawson). Durant and Lawson are Oak Hill teammates. Now that Durant has chosen Texas, experts expect North Carolina to turn up the heat on some of the other best players in the Class of 2006.
