Where UNC basketball recruits rank in updated On3 rankings
As we hit the summer months, the recruiting evaluation periods will continue on in college basketball. The AAU cycle still has some premier events left this summer as recruits will have the chance to showcase their skills.
But it’s also the time for a recruiting ranking update.
On3 has put out their updated rankings for the 2024 class, putting together the Top 150. That list included all three UNC commits in the 2024 class with Ian Jackson, Drake Powell, and James Brown being ranked. With Elliot Cadeau heading to 2023, the Tar Heels now have a three-man class. But even so, the class is a strong one for Hubert Davis.
Since expanding the rankings from 50 to 150, On3’s recruiting experts have analyzed and scouted players following their junior seasons including events like USA Basketball, Nike EYBL, Adidas 3SSB, and Under Armour Next cycle.
With that, they have put together the Top 150 list which includes some newcomers and familiar faces.
Here is where UNC players rank in the updated On3 Top 150 for the 2024 class.
No. 6 Ian Jackson
The five-star recruit is UNC’s highest-ranked player in the new rankings, checking in at No. 6 overall. Jackson has been committed to UNC since 2022 and is the prized recruit for the Tar Heels.
This is a good ranking for the shooting guard out of Bronx, New York who can continue to get better.
No. 41 Drake Powell
A recruit that has improved his game since committing to UNC in 2022, Powell continues to shoot up recruiting rankings. However, on On3 he checks in at No. 41 as a four-star recruit.
No. 73 James Brown
The big man from Chicago is ranked as a four-star recruit and the No. 73 prospect in these rankings. Brown was the latest to commit to North Carolina and recently transferred to Link Academy.
