UNC Basketball Recruiting: The Birth of a Dynasty?

I knew it was going to be good...But not that good...

When 6'9" 200lb. power forward prospect, Brandan Wright, from Brentwood Academy in Brentwood, Tennessee committed to UNC this past weekend, for most mainstream basketball fans it may have slid under your attention radar.

However, what people don't realize is that with the Wright signing Roy Williams may have assembled the best back-to-back classes ever landed at UNC. Think I'm crazy?...Check out the rated talents from the past two years.

Class of '05
Bobby Frasor - McDonald's All-American, Rated Top 5 in U.S. Shooting Guards.
Tyler Hansborough - McDonald's All-American, Rated 1 of the Top 3 players nationally.
Danny Green - McDonald's All-American, Zoomed up the ladder to one of top 5 SG.
Marcus Ginyard - Rated top Junior PG/SG, Finished in top 15 Shooting Guards.

Class of '06
Wayne Ellington - Rated Top SG in USA.
Brandan Wright - Rated Top PF in USA.
Deon Thompson - Rated in the Top 3 Power Forwards.
Tywon Lawson - Along with Kansas signee, Sherron Collins, is one of top 2 pure Point Guards in USA.
William Graves - With a 'Down-low' sleeper summer, could be another David Noel.
Alex Stephenson - Rated among Top 10 PF/C in USA.

Now with those types of talent logged into the roster...People will you please give a hand to perhaps the greatest assemblage of potential talent put forth in Chapel Hill...Yes, I said that.

Forget all the "Fab Five" talk in Ann Arbor in the '90s...Seriously, in terms of playing ability, this assembly could have more of a profound impact upon the game. This team is going to be loaded...They could potentially have nine McDonald's All-Americans on their roster.

Now, we've all seen potential blow by the wayside. However, Roy Williams has amassed a team laden with speed, character, movement, versatility, and team-play, which make-up his types of ideal players who love to play the game. For followers of the ACC, whether you love or love to hate North Carolina, enjoy...The '80s recruiting analogy for UNC basketball as the "IBM factory" is back.

Hard as Hell,
