Tar Heels top new ESPN basketball recruiting rankings
Posted Jun 13, 2012
After losing four-fifths of last season’s starting lineup to the NBA, North Carolina will rebuild in 2012-13 with what ESPN.com’s Dave Telep dubbed a “foundation class” – a solid stage for what is (and who are) to follow. The Tar Heels come in atop the rankings, after already receiving verbal commitments from power forward Isaiah Hicks, ranked the No. 10 overall prospect in the nation; and Washington D.C.’s Nate Britt, ranked the third-best point guard in the country.
