Nation Williams, a 5-star forward in the 2027 women's basketball recruiting class, has included UNC among her top 5 schools. The 6-foot-2 prospect from Lone Peak High School in Highland, Utah has listed the Tar Heels alongside Duke, Notre Dame, UCLA, and Iowa as her finalists and has four official visits remaining after already completing a trip to Iowa City.
