Recruiting updates on Trey Kaufman, Chet Holmgren, and more

One would have to assume that if 4-star PF Trey Kaufman was going to commit to Indiana, it would have happened already. UNC offered last week so it is definitely one to watch, as is Virginia.

Who are the top committed basketball recruits in the ACC?

The Tar Heels were able to strike quickly in the class of 2021 with the addition of Dontrez Styles. A 6-foot-7 power forward who also has some wing ability, Styles is a run and jump athlete with a developing skill set.
