Top 25 Prospect Brice Johnson is Headed to Chapel Hill

Edisto High School’s (SC) Brice Johnson has committed to the North Carolina Tarheels over the Florida Gators, North Carolina State Wolfpack, and the Clemson Tigers. As a junior last season, he averaged 23 points, 15 rebounds and 5 blocks a game. The 6’9″ power forward quickly climbed the national rankings over the past year by showing his athleticism on the AAU circuit.

His game draws comparisons to current Tarheel star John Henson, and the UNC coaching staff made those comparisons clear on his visit to Chapel Hill. He is a threat to dunk on anyone around him, especially when lurking on offensive rebound opportunities for tip-dunks. He has great hands for a big man and is a tremendous rebounder and shot blocker.

The four-star athlete joins Joel James, Marcus Paige, and J.P. Tokoto in North Carolina’s 2012 class, all of which are also nationally ranked Top 100 players.
