UNC confirmed today that it has received a commitment from an in-state point guard recruit.
Stilman White, a 6-1 point guard from Wilmington's Hoggard High, has signed a National Letter of Intent to play for the Tar Heels. White earned first-team Associated Press all-state honors and scored 1,078 points and had 231 assists in 76 career games.
As a senior, White averaged a career-high 20.5 points and 3.0 assists per game and leaves Hoggard as its alltime leader in made free throws (280) and three-point field goal percentage (.381).
“If you look at our roster for next season, you can see we had a depth issue at point guard," UNC coach Roy Williams said in a statement released today by the university. "Stilman is a youngster who came on strong as his high school career went along. He’s going to be a great team player for us because he has the toughness and the competitiveness I love in a point guard.”
Assistant sports editor Lorenzo Perez has bounced back-and-forth between The News & Observer's news and sports department several times since joining the newspaper in 1999. His latest assignment has him working with The N&O's ACC writers and online news. E-mail

And worse, when the neon signs go off , "this guy can't play in the ACC !!".....they NEVER wanna leave.....
Ol Roy must really hate crossing paths with John Calipari in HS gyms......because ol John sure ain't wasting scholarships.....recruiting triple digit ranked players.
