Not overly concern about getting a commitment for 2027, CB and her staff will probably secure two top 20 players this fall. There's a lot going on with the 5th year of eligibility that's going to be difficult with HS recruiting going forward. JMHO.

True 5, high percentage shooter who can play D.

UNC has 14 women on the roster and all retain at least one additional year of eligibility. So on paper we have only one scholly available.

it is possible that one ore more of the graduating players could be encouraged to take their 5th year elsewhere; this was a norm during the COVID era.

and of course WBB teams have 3 transfer out on average. With that said, it is usually best to replace transfers out with transfers in, so you know what holes to fill. (Unless you know way ahead of time during the HS recruiting cycle someone who plans to transfer out.)

This is a very good point. Base on your comments alone, I can see how this can force or speed up a high school recruit committing early instead of holding out in the past if they want to fill a roster spot before the transfer portal opens up.

Coach needs to land a truly dominant player. Maybe Nyla or Kate ends up being that type of player. Only time will tell. It would be nice to finally have that go-to player in crunch time to get a bucket or draw a foul. She’s getting that type on campus for visits. Just has to close. 🤞

Qandace Samuels really looks like a baller too. This class has a lot of talent and I think Banghart and staff are well positioned to land some big time pieces. Anxious to see which top recruits from ‘27 are in the Best Blue this time next year. Ivanna and Nation 🤞🏻
