UNC Recruiting: Which class of 2018 targets will commit to North Carolina?

Which class of 2018 prospects can North Carolina fans expect to see in Chapel Hill next year?

The North Carolina Tar Heels already have commitments from two top-70 prospects in the class of 2018 and another from the 2019 class.

Headlined by five-star prospect Coby White, each of the three commits has the skill and versatility to solidify a deep and talented Tar Heels back court for years to come.

On the other hand, the future of the Tar Heels’ front court currently has more questions than it does answers.

Having lost Kennedy Meeks and Isaiah Hicks to graduation, and Tony Bradley to the NBA, North Carolina’s interior loses a tremendous amount of size and experience from last season’s title team.

Fortunately, Roy Williams and the North Carolina coaching staff were able to reel in 6-foot-8 Pittsburgh graduate transfer Cameron Johnson. Johnson fought for, and gained, immediate eligibility from the NCAA after earning his undergraduate degree in three years, subsequently leaving Pitt.

His place alongside rising star and NCAA Tournament hero Luke Maye will at least help the Tar Heels’ attempts to replace the losses from last season’s dominant front court.

The Tar Heels do welcome in three freshman big men this season in Garrison Brooks, Brandon Huffman and Sterling Manley.

While none of the aforementioned players made it into top-100 of any recruiting outlet in the nation, they do bring decent size to the UNC front court at 6-foot-9, 6-foot-10 and 6-foot-11, respectively.

And what does that mean for next season?

Will the three freshman bigs, along with sensational wing Cam Johnson and up-and-comer Luke Maye, be enough to hang with the ACC’s upper-third? Or will it take the Tar Heels making a much bigger splash in the class of 2018?

Take a look at the Tar Heels’ remaining targets in the class of 2018, and who we think will end up in Carolina Blue next fall.
