Tar Heel Women Land Three Top-20 2013 Basketball Recruits
Posted May 5, 2012
The sound you just heard is North Carolina crashing the party of national championship contenders in women's college basketball. Any time a program lands a potential superstar, as the Tar Heels did Saturday morning with a commitment from Diamond DeShields of Norcross, Ga., the No. 3 prospect among 2013 girls' basketball players, it puts itself into play as a force. But coach Sylvia Hatchell and staff also have laid the groundwork for a blockbuster supporting cast, getting pledges on Saturday from Stephanie Mavunga of Brownsburg, Ind., the No. 15 prospect in the 2013 class, and Jessica Washington of Tulsa, Okla., the No. 18 prospect.
