Isaiah Hicks (Oxford, N.C./Body of Christ), an ESPNU 60 PF, committed to coach Roy Williams and North Carolina on Monday night, four hours after Williams offered.

"Anything is possible, you just have to keep working," Hicks said after he committed to his dream school.

In Hicks, the Tar Heels are getting one of the country's premier prospects at the 4 position and one of the top in-state players. Armed with length, touch, bounce and explosion, Hicks is a blossoming offensive player, good rebounder and a prospect with the upside to match his already distinguished national ranking.

He's also a member of the Garner Road AAU program, the same group that senior UNC target T.J. Warren (Durham, N.C./Brewster Academy) runs with in the spring and summer.

For Hicks, North Carolina's interest solidified his belief in his talents and affirmed his dreams. And as for the four hours between the offer and the pledge, Hicks chuckled, "I was trying to hold off as long as I could. Coach Williams loved it."
