Posted Feb 1, 2017
UNC’s 2017 signing day class consisted of 20 high school signees, bringing its scholarship roster count to 86 with the inclusion of Auburn grad transfer Stanton Truitt. NCAA rules allow for 85 total counters at the start of preseason camp and 25 initial counters (per class), which serves as a guideline for roster construction. Attrition typically reaches double figures each year. (Inside Carolina)
