2020 combo guard Bryce Thompson to take unofficial visit to Chapel Hill

Four-star recruit Bryce Thompson is reportedly set to unofficially visit the Tar Heels sometime in June per a report from Rivals’ recruiting analyst Corey Evans. The Tulsa, Oklahoma native is one of the top players in the 2020 recruiting class, ranking No. 38 overall and the No. 5 combo guard. Thompson picked up an offer from UNC back in early May.

Basketball analyst sees "big recruiting class for UNC in 2020"

Roy Williams locked up power forward Day'Ron Sharpe when he was still relatively unknown, and they are in great early shape with top 10 wing Ziaire Williams. Four-stars Caleb Love and Bryce Thompson really like the Tar Heels as do Walker Kessler, Greg Brown, Donovan Johnson, and Isaiah Todd. I’m seeing a big recruiting class for UNC in 2020. (Rivals.com)

Isaiah Todd Adding UNC Ties

Isaiah Todd was selected to the “Top 30 Cream of the Crop Game” at the Pangos All-American camp last weekend and, as a well-traveled veteran, this honor was nothing new for the five-star forward. As a Top 25 player in the 2020 class, Todd has put up numbers to support the ranking in the EYBL regular season, averaging 18.3 points and 8.4 rebounds. (Inside Carolina)

Day'Ron Sharpe, Bryce Thompson Upgraded to 5-Stars in New 247 Sports 2020 Recruit Rankings

North Carolina commit Day'Ron Sharpe is the highest-ranked five-star newcomer at No. 18. Sharpe had an impressive junior season that carried over into spring, where he had dominant moments. The other new five-star is 6-foot-5 combo guard Bryce Thompson, who is known for his ability to score from all three levels. Thompson made one of the biggest jumps. (247 Sports)

Cole Anthony a favorite for top shooting guard award

North Carolina freshman guard Cole Anthony figures to make plenty of award lists this summer, and Wednesday he was one of NCAA.com’s Andy Katz’s top picks to win the Jerry West Award, given to the nation’s top shooting guard. Katz notably didn’t name Anthony, who likely will play point guard for UNC, on his Bob Cousy Award list for the top point guard. (247 Sports)

Analyst: Ziaire Williams a "Must-Get" Recruit for North Carolina

Roy Williams and the Tar Heels will have a need in 2020 for a high-end, instant-impact wing. I don’t think they want to rely on the transfer market or late decisions as much as they did with the 2019 class, and Ziaire Williams has been a priority recruit for some time. So far, Stanford looks to be the biggest competition, but Arizona and others are ramping up. (Rivals.com)

Cole Anthony Named SLAM All-American

A New York City native, Cole Anthony transferred to national prep powerhouse Oak Hill for his senior year. Although the Virginia program has seen the likes of Jerry Stackhouse, Carmelo Anthony, Kevin Durant, Rajon Rondo, and Brandon Jennings don its uniforms over the years, Anthony became the first player in school history to average a triple-double.

What's Next for Jalen Wilson?

2019 4-star small forward Jalen Wilson recently wrapped up his official visit to Kansas and on Monday he traveled to Chapel Hill to begin his official visit with North Carolina. Also, new Michigan basketball coach Juwan Howard has been trying to save Wilson's commitment. I would expect Wilson to decide pretty soon after his return home from Chapel Hill. (Rivals.com)

Cade Cunningham Named Top Performer at Pangos All-American Camp

I didn't see a more consistent performer than Cade Cunningham at the Pangos All-American Camp. He continues to apply pressure to Evan Mobley for the No. 1 spot in 2020. The confident point guard does it all. Last week he released a final 10 of Duke, Florida, Kansas, Kentucky, North Carolina, Memphis, Oklahoma State, Texas, Virginia, and Washington. (Rivals.com)

Jalen Wilson calls Kansas visit ‘great,’ heads to UNC for second recruiting trip
