North Carolina, Florida and Texas have brought in the top high school recruiting classes for men's basketball based on their haul Wednesday, the first day of the NCAA's early signing period. The Tar Heels signed five players, led by 6-foot-10 John Henson of Tampa, Fla., who is known for his shot-blocking skills and athleticism. They also picked up the Wear twins from Santa Ana Mater Dei, 6-10 David and 6-10 Travis.
