247Sports director of basketball scouting Adam Finkelstein on UNC's 2024 commits: Drake Powell is "one of the guys that you don't need any kind of scouting background to see his talent." Ian Jackson has "some really impressive highs" and "less impressive lows." James Brown is a role-playing big who's not an offensive alpha. Those guys are necessary." (Inside Carolina)
