UNC Basketball: Tar Heels’ 2022 recruiting class could look a lot like this

Seth Trimble

Seth Trimble committed to the University of North Carolina just three weeks after Will Shaver, giving Hubert Davis his second commitment from a 2022 prospect. In doing so, the Tar Heels quickly had their likely point guard of the future, and a rising big man that’ll undoubtedly play a role in the UNC front court for multiple seasons. Trimble had scholarship offers from Creighton, Illinois, Indiana, Michigan and Wisconsin, along with a dozen others.

Trimble is a 6-foot-3, 185-pound senior from Menomonee Falls, Wisconsin, and the brother of former North Carolina standout J.P. Tokoto. Similar to his brother, Trimble has a load of athleticism, along with a versatile skill set, that should prove useful for the Tar Heels at the conclusion of Caleb Love’s time in Chapel Hill — something we shouldn’t be surprised to see come to an end following the 2021-22 season.

Trimble is a good shooter, slasher, ball-handler and distributor, and he’s good at facilitating his team’s offense. He’s got speed and quickness in the open court, and can lead the fast break to easy points on the opposite end of the court. The future Tar Heel is also a good defender, and thanks to his size and athleticism, should be able to defend both guard positions at the college level.

Trimble is ranked 48th in the nation according to the 247Sports Composite. He’s moved up 48 spots since being ranked at No. 96 last summer. Similarly, Trimble saw his ranking improve from No. 109 to No. 34 in the 2022 Rivals150. He’s a top-10 player at his position according to both recruiting outlets, and the No. 1 player in the state of Wisconsin.
