North Carolina fans woke up Saturday morning to potentially good news in the recruitment of a big target in the transfer portal.
Former five-star recruit and Stanford forward Harrison Ingram has been a big target for the Tar Heels since he entered the portal. He had an in-home visit and a campus visit in the span of two weeks. It appears as if the Tar Heels are the team to beat according to one recruiting analyst.
Travis Branham of 247Sports logged a crystal ball prediction for North Carolina and Ingram on Saturday morning. It’s the first prediction from a national analyst and it goes to the Tar Heels:

Prior to today, there were just two predictions for Ingram and both had him going to Kansas. The predictions came from a Duke analyst and a Kansas analyst.
Ingram is still scheduled to visit Kansas in the coming days, so this recruitment certainly isn’t over yet. While crystal ball predictions from national analysts are a good thing, it’s not a lock and things can change in a hurry as we’ve seen already in this recruitment.
But it’s hard not to feel good about UNC’s chances.
