Bio
Brandon Huffman is new on the scene. He was recently offered a scholarship by UNC head coach Roy Williams.
The Tar Heels are looking to sign three bigs in the class of 2017 and Huffman could fill one of those spots. A three-star recruit from Raleigh, North Carolina, Huffman also holds offers from Baylor, Connecticut, Georgia and Georgia Tech.
Prediction: North Carolina
Can also confirm this. Would imagine #UNC the team to beat for Huffman with this development. https://t.co/k71FfG1o8K

Bio
Rechon Black is a fringe five-star combo guard in the class of 2018. He’s got great size for his position, particularly if he’s playing point guard. He’s a terrific ball-handler and can distribute to teammates effectively.
Prediction: Verbally Committed to North Carolina
Coby White
Bio
Coby White is a talented point guard in the class of 2018. He’s athletic and has great height for the point guard position. He’s a quick, shifty player with the ability to start and stop on a dime. His effectiveness as a distributor or shooter are equally potent.
Prediction: Verbally committed to North Carolina
