The UNC basketball team's 2017 recruiting class ranks 19th in 247Sports' team composite rankings and 17th in ESPN's. But the depth of this five-player class may be its defining characteristic. The newcomers are led by four-star guard Jalek Felton, the nephew of former Tar Heel Raymond Felton. Felton is the Tar Heels’ highest ranked national recruit at No. 30 overall. (Daily Tar Heel)
