National Signing Day is finally here! We are helping you keep track of all the latest news regarding the University of North Carolina and prospects on this big day

The North Carolina Tar Heels had a disappointing 2016 season and lost several key players to graduation and the NFL draft. Now the rebuilding begins and it starts with National Signing Day in 2017.

This live tracker is designed to keep you updated on the latest from UNC’s recruits who have committed, are on campus, decommitted or still making their decisions on this day.

We also won’t limit it to just football either. If any basketball news breaks, we will be on top of it.
