New Commit: James McAdoo (’11)
Posted by: Big Wern
After attending the annual UNC alumni basketball game, rising junior PF James McAdoo has committed to play at Carolina.
McAdoo is a top five player in his class and is generally thought of as the best PF. Fundamentally sound in the post, McAdoo is comfortable playing with his back to the basket and even has a bit of a mid-range game. Not a flashy player, McAdoo can run in a transition offense, score down low, rebound and is a good shot blocker. Like most high school bigs, he’ll need to bulk up a bit (he’s currently listed at 6′9″ 210), but with Carolina’s terrific strength and conditioning program, he should be able to put on the muscle necessary to bang down low in the ACC.
Roy hasn’t slowed down on the recruiting trail, and Harrison Barnes (a top three player in the class of ‘10) had a great visit to Chapel Hill for the alumni game as well. Here’s who we’ve got for the ‘11-’12 season:
Seniors: Larry Drew, Justin Watts, Tyler Zeller, Ed Davis*
Juniors: Dexter Strickland, Leslie McDonald, David Wear, Travis Wear, John Henson*
Sophomores: Kendall Marshall, Reggie Bullock
Freshmen: P.J. Hairston, James McAdoo.
*Probably left for the NBA
This is a great team, even without Davis or Henson. Barnes would make it spectacular. Either way, between now and then we should have a couple more additions.

Almost every player listed has been or will be a McD's All American. Not a bad group

What were Harrison Barnes comments about his trip to UNC?
I bet Zeller will be gone by his this time as well. We will still be absolutely stacked
