BPCFFB League #2 League Champion 2008 & 2010

Wright, the nation's top power forward and No. 5 prospect overall according to Scout.com, gives the Tar Heels the top-ranked player at three different positions in the class of 2006. In addition to Wright, the Tar Heels have also landed Wayne Ellington (the top shooting guard) and Tywon Lawson (the country's highest-rated point guard).
"I was surprised," one source told Scout.com Sunday afternoon. "I would have thought Vanderbilt would get him before North Carolina."
In the recruiting world, the conventional wisdom was that UNC was fourth on a four-team list. Taking it a step further, if Wright was headed to the ACC, then it was thought that Duke would be the choice.
Sunday, according to multiple sources, Wright set about the business of spreading the word. At least one school received a telephone call and another was hit with a text message. The news was the same across the board: Wright committed to UNC.
The 6-foot-9 stud out of Nashville (Tenn.) Brentwood Academy is the third member of Scout.com's Top 10 to pick the Heels. Ellington, No. 4, and Lawson, No. 8, also are joined in North Carolina's 2006 class by No. 22 Deon Thompson and No. 58 Alex Stepheson. William Graves, once a Top 100 prospect himself, rounds out what should quickly be recognized as the top recruiting class in America.
Thompson is the No. 3 center among 2006 prospects, according to Scout.com, and Stepheson is No. 13.
An athletic forward who reminds some of a young Chris Bosh, Wright moves well on the court, is an energetic rebounder and shot-blocker and smooth offensively. Vanderbilt, Kentucky and Duke were the other finalists for Wright.
