2012 C Joel James has UNC in his "solid five"
Posted Jun 25, 2011
Palm Beach (Fla.) Dwyer big man Joel James said at the NBA top 100 camp last week that he has five schools that “stick out” in his recruiting process. The 6-foot-10, 280-pound center James said his solid five is Florida, Florida State, West Virginia, Ohio State and North Carolina but he noted there are “a lot of other schools in the mix.” “Those are just the five that have my attention the most,” he said. But later in the interview James noted, “There are a lot of other teams in the mix.”
