NCAA Basketball Recruiting: Analyzing 2020 McDonald’s All-Americans

Caleb Love (North Carolina)

PG | 6-foot-3 | 170 lbs | No. 18 overall recruit

Another prospect committed to North Carolina that has made a substantial leap up recruiting rankings over the past several months, Caleb Love is a dynamic lead guard. He brings a rather lengthy 6-foot-3 frame to the table and can be a three-level scoring option at either backcourt slot. He can score at a high rate from anywhere on the court and showed tremendous growth as a playmaker on the Nike EYBL circuit.

Love also exhibits the frame and athleticism needed to be a strong multipositional defender and he could grow into a two-way star as a result. North Carolina is losing Cole Anthony to the NBA this offseason but Love looks poised to fill that role as a freshman. He is a true star that can do just about everything. He should pair nicely with R.J. Davis.

Walker Kessler (North Carolina)

C | 7-foot-0 | 245 lbs | No. 17 overall recruit

Sticking with commits heading to Chapel Hill, Walker Kessler makes up one part of the future frontcourt for North Carolina. He is a true 7-footer out of Georgia and is simply a strong all-around talent. Kessler boasts a bevy of post moves around the rim and also understands when to make the right pass.

He can also step out and knock down jumpers to keep defenders honest as well. This includes a fadeaway out to mid-range. On the defensive end of the floor, Kessler isn’t a great switching candidate but can be a stopper underneath and he rebounds well.

North Carolina head coach Roy Williams loves deploying two-big lineups and Kessler is certainly a part of the future for the program. His offensive versatility will be quite valuable for the aforementioned guards committed to UNC in this class. He also runs the floor quite well for his size so he can be an immediate fit in North Carolina’s up-tempo system.
