Class of 2018 North Carolina commit continues to move up the recruiting ranks.

 

It seemed inevitable, given his high level of play over the last year, that class of 2018 combo guard Coby White would eventually receive a five-star ranking.

And now, one year after committing to play basketball at the University of North Carolina, White has officially made the jump to five-star status.

Sure, there were recruiting outlets that already listed White as a five-star prospect, but now he’s ranked as the No. 22 player in the class of 2018 according to the 247Sports Composite.

This ranking, in particular, is important because it’s an aggregate ranking that takes multiple sites’ rankings into consideration.

According to the ESPN 100, White is currently ranked as the No. 26 player in the class, while Scout has him tabbed at 31st. And just last week, Rivals bumped White up 38 spots from No. 69 to No. 31 in its latest ranking.

247Sports, on the other hand, has White ranked as the No. 12 player in the class, as shown in its Top247, his highest ranking to date.

White is a 6-foot-4, 170-pound North Carolina native that had an impressive junior season for Greenfield School, leading his team to a 23-11 record and an appearance in the North Carolina Independent Schools’ 1A semifinal. He was subsequently named an NCISAA 1A all-state pick after averaging 31.4 points, 7.2 rebounds and 6.1 assists per game.

He’s been the recipient of a number of prestigious accolades over the last year including being named the No. 1 player in the state of North Carolina, the North Carolina Gatorade Player of the Year and All-EYBL second team honors.
