But the future of the program is in recruiting classes.
On Wednesday, the Tar Heels got involved with a 2029 prospect, offering J.J. Crawford. Now, a day later, the Tar Heels are getting involved with a new 2027 recruit. North Carolina has offered 7-foot-4 center Cherif Millogo, officially entering the race for the talented 2027 recruit.
