Tar Heels Land Top Recruits, Set Up Exciting Reload

0:00On March 4th, the North Carolina Tar Heels are wrapping up a strong season with a 24-6 record heading into their finale against the Duke Blue Devils at Cameron Indoor this weekend. Off the court, coach Hubert Davis has boosted the program's future by landing two top high school recruits for next year. Dylan Mingo, ranked 9th nationally, chose the Tar Heels over schools like Baylor and Penn State. Maximo Adams, the 21st best prospect, picked North Carolina ahead of Michigan State Kentucky and Texas after a breakout summer on the grassroot circuit. Fans and analysts see these additions as huge for replacing departing players, especially Guard Seth Trimble, the only returning starter from this. Years line up who's graduating in May. Mingo's size, playmaking, and transition skills make him a natural fit to step right in and lead. Davis has built solid teams through freshmen and transfers lately, and next season's group looks promising with Mingo, Adams, and returners like Derek.
