## Resource

Marcus Spears Jr., the top 2027 recruit and elite scorer with nearly 20 points per game, chose Texas over North Carolina — a massive blow to new UNC coach Michael Malone, who’s rebuilding and aiming for championship contention. While UNC still looks strong with key transfers like Terrence Brown and Matt Able, losing Spears stings for Malone’s early recruiting push. Still, with a stacked class and a revamped backcourt, the Tar Heels are poised to make a serious ACC and national title run.
