North Carolina landed a commitment from Marcus Paige (PG, 6’1″, 2012), giving them their first recruit from the class. The commitment from Paige gives UNC a solid ballhandler and a pure point guard who is quick and agile. He has an ability to beat his man on the dribble and get into the lane easily, although, he looks to pass to an interior big man or shoot a double clutch layup once he’s done that.
Paige does not appear to be a high flyer, although he can dunk, but he is a solid player who turned down offers from Kansas, Clemson, Virginia and Michigan, among others.
