The North Carolina women’s basketball program is heavy at work building for the future as they have offered three top ten recruits from the 2026 class.
Courtney Banghart and staff offered 15-year-olds McKenna Woliczko, Trinity Jones, and Jacy Abii. The highest recruit out of the three is Woliczko, who ranks 4th on the ESPN 2026 class list, followed by Jones, 6th, and Abii, 9th.
Woliczko, a part of the 2023 FIBA U16 women’s basketball team, is an ideal fit for UNC. The 6’2 forward has averaged 11.8 points and 9.7 rebounds in six games. Her best game came in the semifinals against Argentina, where she finished with her tournament high 24 points and tacked on 13 rebounds.
Jones has also made her mark on the 2023 FIBA U16 women’s basketball team, averaging 9.5 points and 6.7 rebounds. Her best performance came in the group round against Puerto Rico, where the 6’1 guard finished with 19 points and eight rebounds, going 8 for 9 in field goals.
Lastly, Abii has displayed good court vision and the ability to score during her time on the 2023 FIBA U16 women’s basketball team. The 6’1 guard averaged 8.3 points, 5 rebounds, and 3.2 assists in the tournament. Abii’s best game in the group round against Colombia was 13 points and 7 rebounds.
All three would be a massive get for UNC’s women’s basketball program, continuing to build the culture through the strong recruiting from Banghart.
