What had been speculation for weeks became real reporting yesterday, quickly followed by an official announcement: top 2023 recruit GG Jackson, ranked by some as the No. 1 player in his class, has decommitted from North Carolina. Reports expect him to reclassify to the 2022 class and commit to South Carolina in the coming days.
The decision won’t have a major effect on this year’s Tar Heel squad, especially after head coach Hubert Davis secured coveted transfer Pete Nance to replace the departed Brady Manek. But if Nance struggles, North Carolina fans will quickly be faced with number of “what if” questions, especially if Jackson is successful a few hours south.
