Tar Heels Basketball: Recruiting update
2016 Targets
Rawle Alkins (#17, 247Sports)
6-5, 210 – Shooting Guard
Middle Village, NY
Word of God Academy
Alkins is an athletic guard with great size. At 210 pounds, he can impose his will on smaller defenders and drive in the lane with ease. He is explosive on the offensive end and great in transition. He likes to push the ball and force defenders to keep up with him. He is also a very capable defender. Alkins still needs to develop an outside game, as he isn’t great from anything past mid-range.
Jarrett Allen (#22, 247Sports)
6-10, 210 – Forward
Austin, TX
St. Stephen’s Episcopal
Jarrett Allen is an athletic power forward who has good hands and can finish well in the paint. He is a good rebounder and can also block some shots. He isn’t a consistent shooter from outside the paint and could probably benefit from adding some weight. He moves extremely well for a 6-10 forward and can run the floor in transition well.
