Analysis: UNC recruit PF Isaiah Stokes

Posted Aug 11, 2016
2017 power forward Isaiah Stokes emerged as a UNC target a few weeks after the July evaluation period. The 6-8, 285-pound recruit from Tennessee earned an offer from UNC on Aug. 2, becoming one of a few big men the TAr Heels are targeting for this cycle. A former elite offensive tackle (holds multiple SEC offers) who decided to focus solely on basketball, Stokes is a unique recruit. (Carolina Blue)
