UNC women’s basketball lands five-star player in 2025 class

The Class of 2025 just got that much better as UNC basketball landed this five-star wing from Virginia.

Just a few weeks ago, UNC women’s basketball signed Taliyah Henderson, a five-star wing and the No. 21 ranked recruit in the Class of 2025. The class was already looking up before another five-star prospect chose Chapel Hill.

From the state of Virginia in Alexandria at Bishop Ireton High School plays the No. 12 recruit in the same class as Henderson. The 6-foot-1 wing committed to play at the University of Tennessee as a sophomore, but she has since changed her mind after the firing of Kellie Harper.

After receiving a ton of offers and narrowing it down to UNC, Tennessee, Maryland, and Georgia, Nyla Brooks officially announced on social media today that she will be committing to North Carolina.

The pair of talent that the Heels now have at the guard position between two top-25 recruits will be dominant for years to come. This also can’t come at a better time with the team set to lose Deja Kelly as well.

Brooks and Henderson will join a roster led by Courtney Banghart and try to bring home another championship to the UNC family.
