UNC basketball commit Tony Bradley has been named to the McDonald’s All-American Team.
Bradley, a 6’ 11” center from Bartow, Florida, was the first blue-chip commitment after a rough recruiting stretch, by Carolina standards, amid the final stages of the NCAA investigations into the UNC scandal following the Wainstein Report.
Bradley is the first Tar Heel commit to make the McDonald’s All-America roster since Joel Berry, Justin Jackson and Theo Pinson, all now sophomores at Carolina.
Recruiting has since picked up for Carolina with commitments from guards Seventh Woods and Brandon Robinson joining Bradley in the 2016 recruiting class. Jalek Felton, former Tar Heel Raymond Felton’s nephew, has commited to play for the Heels in the 2017 class. And 2018 guard Rechon “Leaky” Black, from Concord, announced his plans on Friday to suit up in Carolina blue once he graduates high school.
Bradley will compete on the East roster along with UNC target Udoka Azubuike. Azubuike is the only player on the East team that has not chosen where he will be attending college.
Three players on the McDonald’s West squad are yet to make a decision on where they will play in college.
Duke commits Jayson Tatum (East) and Frank Jackson (West) were also named McDonald’s All-Americans.
Overall, six of the prospects in the McDonald’s game are already committed to playing the Atlantic Coast Conference. Bradley, Tatum and Jackson will be joined by Louisville commit V.J. King, Virginia-bound Kyle Guy and Miami-native Dewan Huell who will stay close to home and suit up for the Hurricanes.
The game will be played at the United Center in Chicago on March 30.
