Top-10 class of 2027 recruit says he's hearing from UNC basketball
UNC built a solid 2026 recruiting class, but Michael Malone is already looking ahead to 2027. The Tar Heels' latest interest is a Top-10-ranked PG.
Barring any switches or additional commitments, the UNC men's basketball program has its 2026 recruiting class in place. North Carolina's incoming class is anchored by 4-star wings Maximo Adams and Kevin Thomas, the latter of whom previously de-committed from LSU . Also joining the Tar Heels is Malloy Smith, son of program legend Kenny Smith.
Looking ahead to the recruiting class, fans should be excited about UNC's latest target: 5-star point guard Nasir Anderson. Originally from Savannah, Ga. and currently playing at Prolific Prep in Fort Lauderdale (Fla.
), Anderson told journalist Adam Zagoria he is also hearing from Indiana, Kentucky , Syracuse, Providence, Tennessee , Arkansas, Virginia and Michigan State . “Being like a coach on the floor, how I see certain things other guys might not see, I think my feel for the game is what I will bring (to the collegiate level)," Anderson told Zagoria. "My feel for the game is what I really think I bring.
Being a leader and having been there before, that’s how my experience will help next year. " According to his 247Sports recruiting profile , Anderson is the class of 2027's eighth-ranked player overall, fourth-ranked recruit from Florida and third-ranked point guard. Anderson is North Carolina's second point guard target in its next recruiting class, joining Beckham Black .
