UNC Basketball Recruit Watch: Foundation class on its way

Posted Nov 15, 2011
As top-ranked North Carolina was preparing last week to begin what it hopes is a championship season, it was also rebuilding the base for possible titles to come. ESPN senior national recruiting analyst Dave Telep said UNC’s 2012 class of point guard Marcus Paige, small forward J.P. Tokoto, center Joel James and power forward Brice Johnson -- which it officially signed last week -- reminds him of Carolina’s 2009 group, which included Dexter Strickland, John Henson, Leslie McDonald and the Wear twins (who have since transferred).
