Ziaire Williams to take official visit to UNC

On Sept. 27, class of 2020 wing Ziaire Williams will join 2020 UNC commit Day'Ron Sharpe, 2020 guard Cade Cunningham, and 2021 forward Paolo Banchero on official visits to North Carolina for the weekend of Late Night with Roy. Williams will be the first player to take two official visits to UNC. 2020 forward Greg Brown is also expected to attend. (Inside Carolina)

247Sports Updated 2021 College Basketball Recruit Rankings

There’s talk that Jonathan Kuminga could reclassify to the 2020 class. If he did, Kuminga would be in the conversation for No. 1 in that class as well. While selecting the top recruit in the 2021 class was fairly easy, slotting No. 2 through No. 4 was difficult. In the end, we ranked Chet Holmgren No. 2, with Patrick Baldwin and Paolo Banchero just behind him. (247 Sports)

Roy Williams Offers Minnesota Guard Kerwin Walton

When 2019 forward Zeke Nnaji committed to Arizona last November, it seemed unlikely the Tar Heels would be back at Hopkins (Minn.) High School again anytime soon. Ten months later, however, Roy Williams and assistant Brad Frederick watched 2020 guard Kerwin Walton on Tuesday. Before heading out, Williams offered Walton a UNC scholarship. (Inside Carolina)

Several UNC Basketball Targets Among List Of High-Stakes Recruitments

At UNC, Roy Williams and his staff have put a lot of energy into Ziaire Williams and could really use an elite wing. UNC is going to need to replace Cole Anthony, so landing Caleb Love would be huge. Bryce Thompson is another player who has deep ties to many of the programs recruiting him. His father, Rod, played for UNC assistant Steve Robinson at Tulsa. (Rivals.com)

Dawson Garcia Includes UNC In Final 7

North Carolina has made the cut with another elite basketball recruit in the class of 2020, as Dawson Garcia included UNC among the seven finalists he named Tuesday. Along with the Tar Heels, the 4-star Minnesota center named Arizona, Indiana, Kansas, Marquette, Memphis, and Minnesota as the programs he’ll be moving forward with in his recruitment.

Q&A with 5-star forward Greg Brown

Last month, Greg Brown narrowed his list to Auburn, Kentucky, Memphis, North Carolina, and Texas. His first official visit was to Texas last weekend and four others will be made over the next few months (UNC, Sept. 27), which will lead to a signing in April. On North Carolina: "I haven’t really heard from them a lot lately, but they are still on my list." (Rivals.com)

Caleb Love Cancels Indiana Visit, Cuts List To Four

5-star point guard Caleb Love said he will pick between Missouri, Kansas, Louisville, and North Carolina. An official visit planned for Indiana has been canceled. The Hoosiers, like the Arizona Wildcats, are out of the race. Love has plans to visit North Carolina (Sept. 20-22), Louisville (Sept. 27-29), and Kansas (TBD) before he finalizes and announces his decision. (St. Louis Post-Dispatch)

Boom or bust potential with UNC basketball's 2020 recruiting class

I believe one of Cade Cunningham or Caleb Love ends up in Chapel Hill. Could Isaiah Todd, Greg Brown, Ziaire Williams, and/or Donovan Johnson follow? Isaiah Todd and Greg Brown are the likeliest. And don’t forget about Bryce Thompson, D.J. Steward, Hunter Dickinson, Earl Timberlake, and Walker Kessler. It is boom or bust time in Chapel Hill. (Rivals.com)

2021 PF Paolo Banchero Trims List To 9, Includes UNC

Paolo Banchero, a 6-foot-9, 235-pound power forward at O’Dea High School in Seattle included North Carolina among a list of nine finalists along with Baylor, Duke, Georgetown, Gonzaga, Kentucky, Memphis, Tennessee, and Washington. Banchero is the No. 4 recruit in the class of 2021, the top-ranked power forward, and No. 1 in the state of Washington. (Keeping It Heel)
