- Two UNC basketball recruits named to Naismith HS All-America Teams
As North Carolina continues their march towards a national championship run this season, the future is bright in Chapel Hill with the incoming 2024 recruiting class.
The three-man class built by Hubert Davis and the staff is headlined by five-star recruits Drake Powell and Ian Jackson . The two have climbed to five-star status and are both ranked in the top 10.

On Thursday, both recruits were named to the Jersey Mike's Naismith High School All-American Teams. Both recruits have played really well in their final seasons of high school basketball as they arrive on UNC's campus this June.
The duo are the first UNC recruits to make the team since Cole Anthony earned first-team recognition in 2019.
Powell and Jackson, along with 2024 commit James Brown, will look to continue the winning ways in Chapel Hill next season. It's a 2024 class that is ranked right around the top 10 and was once the top class along with Elliot Cadeau before the guard reclassified.
