G.G. Jackson, the highly sought-after five-star recruit in the Class of 2023, announced his commitment to Carolina Wednesday afternoon. Jackson is the first top-10 recruit to commit to Hubert Davis since Davis took over as head coach, and his decision set off a flurry of reactions on social media.

Jackson himself took to Twitter shortly after his announcement.

Even some of the current Tar Heels couldn’t resist expressing their excitement at Jackson’s decision.
