Q&A with five-star senior Keion Brooks

North Carolina was your most recent official visit. How did that visit to Chapel Hill go for you? Keion Brooks: "It went great. Coach Hubert Davis and coach Roy Williams, they are just great. I feel like everything that they are saying and doing is genuine. They went out of their way to make sure I felt comfortable while I was there. I (also) have a good relationship with Armando (Bacot)." (Rivals.com)

Where top uncommitted basketball recruits could land in late signing period

UNC's Best Shot: Cole Anthony - North Carolina got off to a hot start landing five-star center Armando Bacot in the summer to go with four-star point guard Jeremiah Francis. Since then, there have been some misses but the Tar Heels remain involved with some big-timers. Anthony would give them the best guard in the country and push them toward the national top five.

Analyst Evan Daniels on UNC's Chances with Anthony, Brooks, Nnaji

I think UNC has a very good shot with Cole Anthony and Zeke Nnaji. If Anthony’s recruitment ended today (it won’t end for a while), I would think UNC is the strong favorite to land him. In terms of Nnaji, I find it hard to believe he’s adding in a late unofficial visit to UNC late and not strongly thinking about going there. With Keion Brooks, I think UNC may be on the outside looking in. (247 Sports)

Jeremiah Francis Makes It Official, Signs With Tar Heels

Wednesday is a big day for Jeremiah Francis, who was the first commitment to North Carolina in the class of 2019. The stocky 6-2 point guard sent in his signed his National Letter of Intent to play for Roy Williams and the North Carolina Tar Heels earlier in the morning, and he’s now officially a Tar Heel. The Pickerton, OH, native says it’s a dream come true. (Tar Heel Illustrated)

Wednesday Recruiting Leftovers: Dishing on UNC, Iowa State, Vernon Carey

I don’t see it with Keion Brooks. On the other hand, UNC has a much better chance with Zeke Nnaji. The top 40 forward will head to Chapel Hill this weekend for an unofficial visit. This comes after the Tar Heels entered the picture at the last second. He already has visited Arizona, Baylor, Kansas, Purdue and UCLA, and a decision will be made Nov. 23. Still, the Tar Heels are in a prime spot. (Rivals.com)

Analyst Roundtable: Early Basketball Signing Period Discussion

Which player will provide the most drama between the early and late signing periods? It would be easy to go with the No. 1 player, Vernon Carey, but give me Cole Anthony here. He's the top-ranked guard in the country. He's thought to be favoring a blueblood in North Carolina and it badly needs to land him after missing on other guard targets Boogie Ellis and Tre Mann.

Cole Anthony on his decision date, what he's looking for in a school

“I’m going to make the decision in late spring,” 5-star point guard Cole Anthony said. “We want to explore every option possible. When we make our decision, we want to be sure.” I asked what he is looking for in a future coach and program: “I want a team where I can be an impact freshman, and the ball will be in my hands, and we have a chance to make it to the Final Four."
