Incoming UNC hoops recruit Nassir Little moved up to No. 2 overall in the Final 247Sports Rankings for the Class of 2018–which were released on Thursday.
Little–the explosive, 6-foot-7-inch wing who took home at least a share of MVP honors in both the McDonald’s All-American Game and the Jordan Brand Classic–now becomes the highest-ranked Tar Heel commit since Harrison Barnes was the top overall recruit in 2010.
The Florida native was impressive in both all-star games against the nation’s other top high school players, as he became the first player since LeBron James to earn MVP honors in both games.
Next season will see Little join the Tar Heels along side fellow top 100 recruits Coby White and Rechon “Leaky” Black.
White, a 6-foot-5 combo guard, is the No. 21 player in the class, while Black is ranked No. 76.
