The 2019 Class May be the Best North Carolina Has Seen in Many Years
Looking at the rankings there are six players who are deserved of Top 75 rankings with another host looking at Top 150 rankings. Of course the natural thought is to go back to the 2016 class, which featured Dennis, Harry and Bam along with the likes of Jalen Harris, Deshawn Corprew, Grant Williams, Jay Huff and many more. Sure, the 2019 class does not have 3 Top 10 guys who will be One-and-Done NBA guys, but what it does have is depth. Looking at the likes of Wendell Moore, Patrick Williams, Kadin Shedrick, Greg Gantt, Josh Nickelberry and Juwan Gary, each of these players are Top 75 caliber with 4 to 5 in Top 50 contention and 3 Top 25 types. Looking down the road, we could see each of them spending time in the NBA.
With that said, looking on down the line there are about 60 players in this class who will be attending or were seriously recruited at the D1 level. That is tremendous depth in a single class, for a single state. With so many unsigned seniors still available, D1 programs should go ahead and get a time share in North Carolina, and go ahead to get a head start as 2020 and 2021 are loaded too. But I guess this is why they call it the Hoop State.
