The UNC basketball program has the No. 1 team in the 2024 recruiting cycle. The four-man class is off to a great start and has the chance to add more.
One of those recruits continues to improve his game: Drake Powell is making a name for himself.
The Pittsboro, North Carolina, native committed to UNC in 2022 and has improved his stock as a recruit ever since. Powell has been really good in his senior season at Northwood High School and is developing into a really good player.
On Thursday, Powell and Northwood kept their season alive with a win over Westover, advancing to the third round in the NCHSAA playoffs. Northwood is the top seed in the bracket and is looking to capture a state title.
