For college coaches across the country, high school recruiting begins at an early stage, possibly even before a specific student athlete makes their way to high school.
While recruiting in itself is fluid, elite programs look to identify the top talents from each respective class as soon as possible, seizing the opportunity to make connections with those players. In the long run, those developed relationships help come decision day for that student athlete, especially if that player values the belief a said coaching staff has in them.
Courtney Banghart and the UNC women's basketball program are already cultivating a special 2026 recruiting class and are also focused on attracting top 2027 talents. While those classes currently remain at the forefront, it hasn't stopped the Tar Heels from pursuing elite Class of 2028 stars.
North Carolina has recently extended offers to two Class of 2028 talents:
One of those offers was extended to 6-foot-5 forward Rosie Oladokun, who is a rising sophomore at Sierra Canyon.

The Tar Heels aren't alone in their pursuit of Oladokun. Other notable programs, such as Arizona State, California, and Georgia Tech (among others) have already extended offers to her.
The other was extended to 6-foot-4 forward Amy Nduka, a star from the Seattle area.

Nduka wasted no time making a splash at the high school level. Competing at Eastside Catholic, she played a critical role in leading her team to the 2025 Metro League championship. She helped her team defeat the four-time defending state champion Garfield, contributing eight points and 11 rebounds in the title game.
As this recruiting class continues to build hype over the next few months, you'll undoubtedly be hearing more about both prospects that the UNC women's basketball program has extended offers to. Both have already earned reputations as some of the top 2028 talents available, and the UNC women's basketball program would love to see them both wearing Carolina Blue in a couple of years.
