UNC basketball 2025 recruiting class big board

Zack Pearson
·4 min read

The North Carolina Tar Heels are set to welcome a top-10 recruiting class for the 2024 cycle with three commitments. Five-star recruits Ian Jackson and Drake Powell headline the class with four-star center James Brown.

With the success UNC is having on the court this year and the strength of the 2024 class, the future is bright. Now the Tar Heels’ staff shifts its focus to the 2025 class.

UNC has nine active offers out to prospects in the 2025 class and has shown interest in several others. The Tar Heels have not yet landed a commitment, but they are in the race for many of these prospects. They also have been able to get the prospects on campus for official or unofficial visits.

There’s still significant time left in the 2025 recruiting cycle, so there’s no need to panic about landing a commitment. If UNC can put together a nice class in 2025 to complement the 2024 cycle, it would set up Davis and his staff for the future.

Let’s look at the Tar Heels’ recruiting board for 2025 as it stands in early February with more updates coming.
