The rich get richer.
On Friday night, graduate transfer Christian Keeling capped off one of the busiest recruiting weeks in recent UNC basketball memory, announcing on Twitter that he will join the Tar Heels for the 2019-20 season. Keeling averaged 18.7 points and 6.9 rebounds last season at Charleston Southern, and will spend his final year of eligibility in Chapel Hill.
Keeling originally said he was going to commit on May 12, Mother's Day, in honor of his late mother, but changed his mind.
The commitment is the third for head coach Roy Williams in the last four days, after five-star guard Cole Anthony, one of the most prized recruits in the 2019 class, and four-star guard Anthony Harris, both committed to the Tar Heels on Tuesday.
The addition of 6-foot-4 Keeling helps shore up some concerns on the wing for North Carolina next season. Keeling is also a potent threat from 3-point range – he shot 38 percent from deep last season.
And in what is quickly becoming vintage Armando Bacot, the incoming first-year center tweeted moments after Keeling's commitment that North Carolina has one more piece to add.
