BREAKING: North Carolina Tar Heels Land Nation’s Top High School Trio in Historic Recruiting Coup…..
Chapel Hill, NC — In a jaw-dropping move that’s sending shockwaves through college basketball, the North Carolina Tar Heels have secured commitments from *three* of the top five high school recruits in the nation — a feat never before achieved in modern NCAA history.
Jalen “Skywalker” Barnes (#1 SG), Zion Redd (#2 PG), and K.J. Wallace (#3 SF) announced in a joint livestream that they’ll be suiting up for UNC in the 2026-2027 season. The trio cited UNC’s legacy, coaching staff, and “unfinished business” as their reasons for joining forces.
But the twist? The three phenoms are longtime childhood friends — and swore a pact at age 12 to play together in college. Their decision to reunite in Chapel Hill has ignited Tar Heel Nation and sparked comparisons to the Fab Five and the 2015 Kentucky squad.
Hall of Fame coach Hubert Davis called it “a g wowenerational moment” for the program.
With this trio, UNC instantly becomes the heavy favorite for the 2027 NCAA Championship — and the basketball world is officially on notice.
Stay tuned — history is in the making.*
