NCAA Basketball Recruiting: Analyzing 5* wing Harrison Ingram top 10 teams

Michigan Wolverines

The disastrous saga of the recruitment and commitments of Isaiah Todd and Joshua Christopher hasn’t stopped Coach Juwan Howard and the Wolverines from making a big effort in the 2021 class. They’ll need to address the wing position in particular, with both Isaiah Livers and Franz Wagner very likely to not be around after next season.

Michigan is in play for not only Ingram but also Pat Baldwin Jr. and Trevor Keels. Of the trio, Keels looks to be most likely to land with the team and he’s a 6’5 shooting guard. It’ll be interesting to see if he and Ingram would be willing to play together or if the Wolverines would prioritize one over the other. Without Duke, Kentucky, or Kansas in the mix, all 10 teams have to feel as if they have a legit shot at this five-star prospect. After what happened this offseason, Michigan wants to get back on the recruiting trail and land (and keep) a star player.

North Carolina Tar Heels

After a rough season, to say the least, the Tar Heels have a whole new cast of incoming freshmen, ranked No. 2 overall. From the wing position, four-star recruits Puff Johnson and Kerwin Walton are part of this class, whereas the five-star commits came at the frontcourt and point guard position. That’s important to note because even if some of the players from the current are around for two years, it won’t have a major effect on Ingram and his potential fit with UNC.

North Carolina already has a 2021 commit in top-60 combo forward Dontrez Styles. Ingram would be a good fit from a roster standpoint and his shooting and ball-handling abilities will be an asset for a team that is currently reshuffling their entire perimeter. Whether he’s comfortable possibly playing second-fiddle to the bevy of bigs the Tar Heels has could be another question to ponder.
